StakeInvest in real estate from AED 500

Dubai-based fractional and tokenized real estate marketplace with 2M+ users across 211 nationalities. AED 500 minimum investments, sub-five-minute onboarding, full Sharia compliance. Raised $31M Series B in February 2026 led by Emirates NBD with Mubadala and Property Finder participating. First Dubai proptech with VARA in-principle approval for tokenization. Total raised: ~$58M.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Stake spent four years building proptech retail credibility — AED 500 minimums, sub-five-minute onboarding, full Sharia compliance — before raising the round that defines what graduation looks like in this category. Emirates NBD as the lead, Mubadala participating, and Property Finder on the cap table is the bank + sovereign + adjacent-giant trifecta that UAE founders rarely assemble outside of pure fintech. The VARA in-principle approval for tokenization turns the Series B into a regulatory moat as much as a growth round.

The US industrial real estate move in October 2025 is the strategically interesting bet — most regional proptechs stay GCC-bound. Industrial is the highest-yielding US real estate category right now (data centers, last-mile logistics), and tokenization is the only realistic path for foreign retail capital to access it. If Stake makes that bridge work, the company stops being a Dubai proptech and starts being an emerging-markets-to-US-yield platform — a much larger TAM, and one with no obvious regional competitor.
