Nawy Secures $52M to Revolutionize MENA Real Estate Market with Innovative Proptech Solutions
  • To address the lack of traditional mortgage options, Nawy launched a product called 'Move Now Pay Later,' facilitating installment payments for property purchases.

  • Nawy's diverse product offerings include Nawy Now for flexible mortgage solutions, Nawy Shares for fractional ownership, and Nawy Unlocked for asset management, catering to various market needs.

  • Despite its promising growth, Nawy faces challenges such as regulatory variations and slow consumer behavior in asset-heavy sectors that may impact its expansion efforts.

  • This funding round, led by Partech, also saw participation from notable investors including e& Capital and Shorooq, reflecting the increasing investor interest in African tech startups, particularly in the proptech sector.

  • The platform now boasts over 3,000 active brokerages and attracts more than a million monthly visitors, serving a $30 billion new build market in Egypt.

  • Initially, Nawy faced skepticism from developers and brokers, but overcame these challenges by introducing immediate commission payments for brokers, resulting in over 3,000 brokerages utilizing its services.

  • The backing from major investors like SoftBank and Partech underscores strong confidence in Nawy's scalable business model and growth potential.

  • Nawy aims to capitalize on the booming urbanization and real estate demand in MENA, positioning itself as a leader in a rapidly growing market with significant opportunities.

  • In 2024, Nawy achieved over $1.4 billion in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and experienced 50x revenue growth in dollar terms, despite the challenges posed by a 69% devaluation of the Egyptian pound.

  • Nawy's vision is to bring transparency and efficiency to the real estate industry by leveraging technology to improve the overall experience for consumers and brokers.

  • Nawy Partners, the company's B2B arm, supports these brokerages by providing access to real-time market data and tech-powered sales tools, enhancing transaction efficiency.

  • Founded in 2019 by Mostafa El Beltagy and others, Nawy has rapidly established itself as Africa's largest proptech platform, recently securing $52 million in Series A funding to enhance the real estate market in the MENA region.
