Stake

UAE-based raised USD 31 million in a series B funding round.  The round was led by Emirates NBD and saw participation from the MENA Venture Capital Fund at Mubadala Investment Company. The round also saw participation from Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), Property Finder, STV NICE, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, and Ellington Properties.

Founded in 2020 by Manar Mahmassani, Rami Tabbara and Ricardo Brizido, Stake is a digital real estate investment platform. 

“Together, we are building the infrastructure for a new era of real estate ownership, one where borders do not limit opportunity and where every person, regardless of background, can participate in real estate wealth creation. This is just the beginning of what Stake will unlock,” said Rami Tabbara, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Stake.

Real Estate Investment 

Beyond the GCC, Stake is advancing its international strategy to provide investors with diversified exposure across stable and high-growth markets. In October 2025, the company expanded into the U.S. industrial real estate market, one of the most resilient asset classes globally.

 Simultaneously, it continues to broaden its product offering. In October 2025, the company launched StakeOne, a new investment product designed to digitise access to full property ownership and after-sales asset management. The product aims to expand investor access to premium properties in Dubai, including assets from leading developers such as Emaar, Ellington Properties, Dubai Holding, and more. Meanwhile, it is also introducing streamlined ownership structures and a pathway toward listing ready-to-own properties with full ownership potential

In alignment with its long-term vision to fully digitise the real estate investment lifecycle, it is also advancing regulated tokenisation in collaboration with Property Finder. The platform has received the In-Principle Approval (IPA) from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). The initiative aims to enhance liquidity, transparency, and flexibility in real estate ownership by enabling fractional, tradeable exposure to high-demand assets that were historically accessible only to institutional investors.
