Stake Closes $31 Million Series B Led By Emirates NBD

Stake, a digital real estate investment platform, has announced the close of its Series B funding round, raising $31 million. The round was led by Emirates NBD, with additional participation from a group of regional and international investors, including the MENA Venture Capital Fund at Mubadala Investment Company, Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), Property Finder, STV NICE, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, and Ellington Properties.

Neeraj Makin, Group Head – Strategy, Analytics and Venture Capital at Emirates NBD, said, “Real estate remains a foundational component of global investment portfolios, yet there is an opportunity to improve how many investors access and gain transparency into these assets. Stake’s technology and regulatory infrastructure are built to streamline these processes and make sophisticated real estate investment more approachable. Our strategic investment in Stake represents a significant step in expanding our digital investment capabilities, directly aligning with our ambition to be a digital leader in the region. Through our Innovation Fund, we are committed to making such strategic investments and fostering a culture of innovation. We recognise the growing demand for accessible real estate investment opportunities, and Stake’s platform provides a robust, compliant, and scalable solution that we are proud to support.”

“This round is more than capital. It is validation of a mission we have poured our lives into. To have institutions like Emirates NBD, Mubadala, Property Finder, MEVP, Wa’ed Ventures, GFH Partners, STV and Ellington Properties join us is a reminder that our region believes in ambitious ideas and in the power of technology to transform industries. 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.

“Saudi Arabia is a strategic growth market for us, and this round allows us to deepen our investment in the Kingdom by expanding our local capabilities and scaling our CMA-regulated offering to meet growing demand from both regional and international investors. We are committed to being a long-term partner to the market, helping channel capital into high-quality opportunities while supporting the Kingdom’s ambition to broaden foreign investment to the masses,” said Manar Mahmassani, co-founder and co-CEO of Stake.

Stake 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 expands investor access to premium properties in Dubai, including assets from leading developers such as Emaar, Ellington Properties, Dubai Holding, and more, while introducing streamlined ownership structures and a pathway toward listing ready-to-own properties with full ownership potential.

As part of its long-term vision to fully digitise the real estate investment lifecycle, Stake is also advancing regulated tokenisation in collaboration with Property Finder and has already 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.
