Our mission is to empower everyone to own and build wealth through Real Estate. Launched in 2021 we have grown rapidly, leveraging decades of experience in technology, financial services and global real estate, to launch the MENA region’s first mobile app for global investing in fractional properties and real estate funds in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
This is just the beginning and we’re currently searching for highly talented individuals to help lead our expansion into international markets and new business lines, while at the same time maturing our product and core internal functions.
