UAE-based proptech leader Property Finder has successfully raised $170 million in a new funding round led by Mubadala Investment Company. The significant investment also saw participation from another UAE sovereign wealth fund and long-time backer BECO Capital, reaffirming strong regional and international confidence in the platform’s strategic direction.
Strategic Investment from Regional Powerhouses
The transaction highlights a major commitment from local sovereign investors, with Mubadala and the unnamed sovereign wealth fund each investing $75 million. BECO Capital, one of Property Finder’s earliest venture capital partners, deepened its decade-long relationship by committing $20 million from its recently launched $250 million Growth Fund I, marking the fund’s inaugural deployment.
This investment aligns Property Finder more closely with the UAE’s national agenda to cultivate a world-class digital economy, underscoring its role as a key national champion in the technology sector.
Building on a History of Significant Capital
This latest injection of capital adds to an already impressive fundraising history. It follows a landmark $525 million round in 2025 led by Permira, with significant participation from Blackstone Growth. The company has also secured $250 million in debt financing from Ares Management and HSBC.
With this new round, Property Finder’s total equity raised now approaches nearly $700 million, positioning it as one of the most well-capitalized technology companies in the MENA region. General Atlantic, which first invested in 2018, also maintains a significant shareholding in the company.
Fuelling a Tech-Driven Real Estate Ecosystem
The fresh capital will accelerate Property Finder’s ambition to build the region’s premier real estate operating system. The company plans to enhance its product development and AI-driven solutions, including tools like Credit Optimizer, Home Valuation, and SuperAgent, which are already gaining significant traction. The funds will support the company’s mission to create a more transparent, trusted, and efficient real estate market for all stakeholders.
The investment comes as Property Finder’s core market, the UAE, continues to experience record demand for property, providing a robust foundation for the company’s next phase of growth and innovation.
