PRYPCO Secures $10 Million Seed Funding Led By Shorooq To Boost Real Estate Access

In a significant development for the real estate sector, Dubai-based prop-tech start-up, PRYPCO, has announced a successful $10 million seed funding round. Shorooq Partners led the investment, with contributions from Apparel Group and other investors.

This funding, finalized in September 2024, represents a crucial step towards PRYPCO's goal of granting Real Estate Freedom to everyone involved in the property market. The company plans to use this investment to broaden its services and enhance its operational capacity.

Amira Sajwani, the Founder and CEO of PRYPCO, stated, "This funding marks a pivotal moment for PRYPCO as we continue simplifying the real estate journey. Real estate is the largest asset class globally, yet for many, the barrier to entry is still too high or complex, especially for the new generation. Our mission is to build the region's leading real estate ecosystem that benefits everyone. With this investment, we can further expand our ecosystem, offer new opportunities, and ensure that we enable Real Estate Freedom for all."

Mahmoud Adi, a founding partner at Shorooq Partners, shared his excitement about backing PRYPCO, noting, "We are always looking to back visionary companies that harness technology to disrupt traditional sectors, and PRYPCO is doing just that in the real estate market. Their innovative approach, particularly in fractional ownership, democratizes access to property investment, creating new opportunities for a diverse range of investors. We believe PRYPCO is set to redefine how people interact with real estate, and we're excited to be part of their journey toward enabling Real Estate Freedom for all."

PRYPCO distinguishes itself by offering an array of services designed to make real estate transactions more accessible and efficient. Among its innovative solutions is PRYPCO Blocks, a fractional ownership platform regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), which allows for secure and transparent property investments starting at just AED 2,000. To date, PRYPCO Blocks has fully funded nine properties and aims to introduce more in the future.

In addition to PRYPCO Blocks, the company's mortgage division, PRYPCO Mortgage, simplifies the process of acquiring home loans. Marking a significant achievement in September 2024, PRYPCO Mortgage disbursed over AED 500 million in loans within a single month, setting a new company record. This milestone underscores the increasing demand for innovative financing solutions, with PRYPCO committed to offering competitive mortgage products through partnerships with major UAE banks.

Furthermore, PRYPCO Exclusives and PRYPCO Golden Visa expand the company's offerings. PRYPCO Exclusives grants real estate brokers access to a wide range of exclusive secondary properties, boasting over 250 listings across more than 70 projects. The PRYPCO Golden Visa service facilitates the process of obtaining long-term residency in the UAE, handling all necessary documentation for clients.

With a fresh infusion of capital and a clear vision, PRYPCO is well-positioned to continue its mission of enabling easier access to real estate for a wider audience, promising a future where the complexities of property investment and ownership are significantly reduced.
