UAE-based fintech secures one of largest GCC Series A rounds in 2025, led by Saudi’s Impact46 with regional investor participation
Holo, a fintech platform focused on reinventing the home-buying process in the UAE, announced Monday it has raised $22 million in one of the largest Series A funding rounds in the Gulf Cooperation Council this year. The round was led by Saudi Arabia’s Impact46, with participation from Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company, Rua Growth Fund, anb seed, and MoreThan Capital, alongside returning investors.
The funding targets significant regional growth opportunities, with the UAE residential market forecast to increase from $143 billion in 2025 to $217 billion by 2030, while Saudi Arabia’s market is expected to grow from $203 billion to $310 billion over the same period. Both markets are projected to grow at approximately 8.7% annually through 2030.
“At Holo, we’ve always believed that buying a home shouldn’t be complicated. With this raise, we’re not only scaling across borders, but also scaling trust, simplicity, and access to homeownership,” said co-founders Michael Hunter and Arran Summerhill. “Our profitability in the UAE has given us the strength and confidence to invest ambitiously in high-growth markets like Saudi Arabia.”
“Holo is bringing much-needed clarity to a process that’s long been opaque. By streamlining access to lenders and giving users full control of their home financing journey, they’re reshaping how people buy homes across the region,” said Basmah AlSinaidi, managing partner at Impact46. Ali Al Mheiri, executive director at Mubadala, added: “Our investment reflects our confidence in the UAE’s strong real estate market, and the growing role of fintech in shaping property ownership across the region.”
The funding will support internal growth, strengthen product development teams, and enable investment in regional talent as Holo positions itself to lead the transformation of property ownership across the MENA region through its mission to make homeownership simpler and more accessible.
