UAE-based proptech Property Finder has secured a $170 million investment led by Mubadala Investment Company, alongside another UAE sovereign wealth fund and BECO Capital, reinforcing its standing as one of the region’s best-capitalized property classifieds technology platforms according to Wamda.
As part of the deal, Mubadala and the second sovereign wealth fund will each invest $75 million, while BECO will commit $20 million from its newly launched $250 million Growth Fund I, marking the fund’s first deployment and deepening a relationship that dates back more than a decade, when BECO was Property Finder’s first venture capital investor.
The new round follows Property Finder’s $525 million investment in 2025, led by funds advised by Permira, with significant participation from Blackstone Growth, a deal the company says reflected international and regional confidence in its financial outlook and long-term vision. With nearly $700 million in aggregate equity capital raised and an additional $250 million in debt financing from Ares Management and HSBC, the company positioned this as one of the largest funding stories in MENA tech. General Atlantic, which initially invested in 2018, continues to hold a significant shareholding.
Property Finder, founded in 2007 by Michael Lahyani and Renan Bourdeau, operates a marketplace that enables users to filter and search available properties to buy or rent. The company said the latest capital will accelerate its ambition to build the region’s leading real estate operating system, with a focus on transparency, trust, and data-driven decision-making, citing momentum from the adoption of products and AI-driven tools, including Credit Optimizer, Home Valuation, and SuperAgent. It also pointed to partnerships with Stake and Keyper as efforts to broaden its role across more of the real estate journey, while noting that the UAE’s regulatory frameworks, innovation agenda, and record property demand create tailwinds for its next phase.
