The Middle East is currently experiencing a massive boom in real estate development and investment. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE) alone, residential real estate transactions have grown at a staggering rate: from roughly $20B in 2020 to over $200B in 2024, according to our research based on the Knight Frank Dubai Residential Market Review. Fueled by its emergence as a global financial and business hub alongside an influx of ultra-high-net-worth individuals and international retail investors, a new global generation of home buyers is emerging that is looking for a new way to participate in real estate markets: one that is digital, accessible, transparent, and flexible.

A vast majority of current transactions are facilitated by real estate agents. But today’s real estate infrastructure is not well-equipped to enable these agents to serve this massive and growing segment. Existing platforms struggle with poor listing quality, lengthy processing times, data confidentiality issues, and limited access to premium inventory, creating significant friction in the transaction journey.

That’s why we’re leading PRYPCO’s Pre-Series A as they seek to transform how real estate is owned, financed, and invested in across the Middle East.

Powering MENA’s Real Estate Ecosystem

PRYPCO is building what we believe will be the definitive real estate platform for the Middle East, empowering agents to better serve property owners with integrated mortgage processing and exclusive inventory, while also opening the door for a new generation of investors to access real estate through innovative fractional ownership.

Partnering with 18 major banks across the UAE, PRYPCO has facilitated over $2.73B in mortgages in just over two years. Their full-service platform has helped 3,000 individuals secure a UAE Golden Visa and has attracted more than 50,000 users. Additionally, they have achieved full funding for 21 properties through PRYPCO Blocks, their fractional ownership platform. 

Leading the Real Estate Tokenization Revolution

Beyond providing seamless infrastructure to support traditional residential transactions, PRYPCO is pioneering the future of real estate investing through PRYPCO Mint. By enabling tokenized fractional ownership with investments as low as $545, the platform is solving two of the region’s most difficult real estate challenges: illiquidity and lack of affordability. 

This innovative approach dovetails with Dubai’s ambitions to become a global center for digital assets and innovative financial instruments. Through their partnership with the Dubai Land Department, PRYPCO Mint is the first tokenized investment platform to partner with a government entity to tokenize title deeds. In doing so, PRYPCO has combined technological innovation with regulatory compliance, positioning itself at the forefront of the evolving property technology industry.

Built by a Market Expert with Proven Execution

At the helm of PRYPCO is founder and CEO Amira Sajwani, who brings a wealth of experience in Middle Eastern real estate markets. As the Managing Director of Sales and Development at DAMAC Properties, one of the UAE’s top property developers, she transformed the company’s sales model from primarily B2C to B2B2C, growing annual sales by an order of magnitude through direct partnerships with real estate agents. Her deep understanding of the complex MENA real estate ecosystem, extensive network across the region, and passionate commitment to democratizing real estate investment we think gives her a rare perspective on how to transform the industry at scale.

“We’re building the future of real estate, where property ownership is no longer limited by capital, geography, or bureaucracy.” - Amira Sajwani

We look forward to partnering with Amira and the PRYPCO team as they build the future of real estate investments for one of the world’s most dynamic property markets.
