Dubai, UAE – Property Finder, the MENA region’s largest property platform, has announced its investment in Stake, one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing digital real estate investment companies. The move reinforces Property Finder’s strategy to back innovative technology ventures that are reshaping how consumers interact with and invest in property.
Stake enables users to participate in fractional real estate ownership and private real estate funds starting from as little as AED 500. The platform, which won the Proptech of the Year award at the 2024 Property Finder Awards, has emerged as one of the region’s leading proptech success stories by making property investment more transparent, inclusive, and liquid.
Strengthening the UAE’s Proptech Ecosystem
The investment aligns with Property Finder’s long-term goal of supporting the region’s expanding proptech ecosystem, where technology and data are increasingly driving accessibility and innovation across the real estate sector.

“We’ve seen first-hand how Stake has grown from a promising start-up to a key leader in the region’s tech ecosystem,” said Michael Lahyani, Founder and CEO of Property Finder. “As a company that shares our values of trust, transparency, and innovation, we’re proud to support their continued growth through this investment.”
Lahyani added, “We believe that the future of real estate in this region will be shaped by collaboration and innovation. Investing in companies like Stake underscores our belief in the power of technology to expand opportunity and empower consumers across the property journey.”
Driving Innovation Through Collaboration
Stake’s model democratizes property investment by allowing individuals to purchase shares in rental properties or private funds at low entry points, diversifying access to a traditionally high-barrier asset class.
Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake, Rami Tabbara, welcomed the partnership: “We are thrilled to welcome Property Finder as a shareholder and investor. Having the region’s leading property platform believe in our mission and invest in our growth is a huge endorsement of what we’re building.”
He added that Property Finder has always championed innovation and consumer empowerment in real estate, and this partnership creates a powerful alignment to accelerate the evolution of the ecosystem for investors, sellers and homeowners alike.
Expanding Real Estate Technology in the UAE
The investment in Stake reflects a broader trend of collaboration between established real estate players and new-generation proptech firms in the UAE. As the country continues to position itself as a hub for digital transformation and smart investment, partnerships like this underscore the growing convergence of technology, finance, and real estate.

Property Finder’s decision to back Stake follows its ongoing efforts to nurture high-growth technology ventures that support its mission of creating a data-driven, transparent real estate environment. The company plans to continue investing in start-ups that are redefining how people live, search, and invest in property across the Middle East and North Africa.
A Growing Market for Real Estate Technology
According to recent industry analysis, the UAE’s proptech sector is expected to exceed AED 5.6 billion by 2030, growing at a double-digit rate as digitalization reshapes the property investment and management landscape. Platforms like Stake are part of this shift, offering scalable, tech-enabled solutions that complement the UAE government’s broader vision for smart cities and sustainable development.
By supporting Stake, Property Finder reinforces its position at the center of this transformation—bridging traditional property expertise with next-generation investment accessibility.
Building the Future of Real Estate in the Region
Property Finder’s investment in Stake represents a strategic bet on the intersection of technology and real estate. As the UAE’s proptech ecosystem matures, collaborations between established industry leaders and emerging technology start-ups are expected to define the region’s next wave of property innovation.
This partnership not only strengthens the MENA proptech ecosystem but also reflects the broader digital transformation shaping the global real estate landscape.
