Yakeey, a Moroccan prop-tech startup, raises US$15 million Series A to advance Africa’s real estate transaction network.
Launched in 2023 by Karim Beqqali, Yakeey unifies developers, buyers, tenants, investors, and advisers within a single digital platform, simplifying access to housing, encouraging investment, and modernising the real estate value chain through technology.
The company secured a US$15 million Series A round backed by a group of leading international and local investors, strengthening its ambition to transform real estate transactions using artificial intelligence, data driven insights, and human supported financial solutions.
Yakeey’s Series A financing attracted a strong lineup of investors, including IFC of the World Bank Group, Egypt based Beltone Venture Capital, pan African multi stage investor Enza Capital, and CDG Invest via its 212 Founders programme.
“This funding round validates the vision that has guided us from the beginning, to make real estate more accessible, transparent, and efficient for all, while enabling professionals across the industry,” said Beqqali.
Farid Fezoua, Global Director for Private Equity and Venture Capital at IFC, noted that Yakeey represents IFC’s first venture capital equity investment in Morocco.Through the full digital transformation of the real estate value chain, Yakeey consolidates property transactions, financing solutions, and data within a single ecosystem, enabling wider access to housing and new financing pathways for households across the country. The funding is projected to drive employment growth via the scaling of the YakeeyPro network and the broader market, while encouraging innovations that enhance efficiency and transparency in the sector. “We are pleased to support a Moroccan technology leader with the capacity to expand across Africa,” he added.
