Seed round, November 2026

One app for the whole real estate market.

Owners, brokers, agencies and developers on one platform across Egypt and the Gulf. The Bloomberg Terminal for Middle East real estate.

The problem

Every platform serves the deal. No one serves the owner.

Real estate here lives in six places at once: portals, brokerage apps, classifieds, developer sales teams, WhatsApp groups and paper. Each broker sits in 200 to 500 developer WhatsApp groups. Offers get lost in the scroll.

  • The owner pays installments for seven years, and tracks them in a notebook.
  • To rent the unit out, they call five different brokers.
  • To sell, they start again from zero.
The product

One app. Everyone on it.

Like Zillow in the US, plus your own broker, your contracts and your installments in the same app.

For the owner

Add your property, track installments and cheques, keep your contracts, sell or rent in one tap, and get AI alerts on when to sell, rent or buy.

For brokers and agencies

Leads that arrive assigned, one pipeline from call to commission, and an AI sales manager that tells every agent who to call next and why.

For developers

Post a new offer once instead of in 500 WhatsApp groups. Every agent gets a push, inventory updates itself, and the AI matches it to the right clients.

The landscape

Each player owns one piece. We connect them all.

Our reading of each product, November 2026.

The proof

We didn't wait for funding. We became the customer.

For 12 months we ran a real brokerage across Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia on our own money, to learn the job from the inside and to fund the build.

What the brokerage taught us

Every pound we spent wrote the product spec.

Leads close at about 1%

Demand is not the problem. Follow-up is. That is the job of the AI manager.

Buyers spend big

At about $500K a deal, buyers want a consultant they trust, not just a listing.

Buyers live abroad

Clients in Saudi Arabia and Germany bought in Egypt. The app must work across borders.

Owners come back

Our best clients bought two and three times. Keep the owner and you keep the next deal.
