The Dubai real estate market has always been a magnet for global investors, but today the conversation is shifting from luxury skyscrapers to digital innovation. At the heart of this transformation is PRYPCO, a fast-growing UAE-born PropTech company.
When news breaks that a global investor like General Catalyst is backing a young PropTech startup from Dubai, it’s more than just another funding announcement. It’s a signal. A signal that the world is paying attention to how Dubai real estate is changing and who is driving that change. That’s exactly what PRYPCO’s Pre-Series A funding round represents.
Why PRYPCO stands out in Dubai real estate?
Since its founding in 2022 by Amira Sajwani, PRYPCO has moved quickly from idea to impact. In just over two years, the company has grown into one of the most talked-about names in the Dubai real estate ecosystem. Its platforms simplify how people invest in property, get mortgages, or even secure a Golden Visa.
- Facilitated AED 10 billion+ in mortgages.
- Helped more than 3,000 people secure UAE Golden Visas.
- Onboarded 50,000+ users and enabled AED 20 million+ in fractional property investments through PRYPCO Blocks.
- Attracted nearly 2,000 investors to PRYPCO Mint, the MENA region’s first tokenized real estate investment platform.
By combining fractional ownership, tokenization, digital mortgage solutions and more, PRYPCO is changing how people think about buying and investing in Dubai real estate.
The significance of General Catalyst’s investment
General Catalyst isn’t just another investor. This is the same firm that has backed global leaders like Stripe, Airbnb, and Snap. When a Venture Capital firm with that track record chooses PRYPCO for its first PropTech investment in the Middle East, it says two things loud and clear:
- MENA’s real estate is ripe for innovation and global attention.
- PRYPCO has the vision and momentum to lead that innovation.
Real Estate Freedom: PRYPCO’s bold vision
PRYPCO’s vision is simple but bold: to enable real estate freedom for all. That means breaking down barriers that make property ownership feel out of reach. Whether it’s the high upfront costs of buying a home, complicated processes for investors, or limited opportunities for smaller investors, PRYPCO is actively removing those pain points.
Founder and CEO Amira Sajwani describes it best: “We’re building the future of real estate, where property ownership is no longer limited by capital, geography, or bureaucracy.”
It’s not just talk, either. PRYPCO Mint, MENA’s first tokenized real estate investment platform, launched in a strategic partnership with the Dubai Land Department (DLD), is a real example of how these ideas translate into action. For the first time, investors can buy into Dubai real estate at lower entry points (from just AED 2,000) while enjoying the security of government-linked title deeds.
Empowering real estate agents in the UAE
Often, when people talk about PropTech, the focus is only on buyers and investors. But PRYPCO hasn’t forgotten the backbone of the real estate market: agents
Agents using PRYPCO One have access to 300+ exclusive secondary projects, a data hub of 1,500 projects, tools to create their personalised websites and sales offers in seconds, and additional income opportunities through mortgage and Golden Visa referrals. This makes PRYPCO not just a platform but a complete ecosystem for everyone connected to real estate in the UAE.
What does this mean for Dubai Real Estate?
Dubai has long been known for ambitious projects and a real estate market that attracts global investors. But what’s happening now goes beyond skyscrapers and mega-developments. It’s about accessibility, technology, and new models of ownership. Fractional ownership, tokenization, online mortgage and Golden Visa solutions, and agent-focused digital platforms are all signs that Dubai is setting the pace for the future of real estate.
PRYPCO’s growth, combined with the validation of General Catalyst’s investment, positions the company as a key player not just in the UAE but in shaping global conversations about how people buy, sell, and own property.
What’s next for PRYPCO?
With the fresh funding led by General Catalyst, PRYPCO plans to:
- Expand its offerings.
- Strengthen partnerships with regulators.
- Scale operations across the Middle East.
- Continue building innovative tools for investors, agents, and homeowners.
PRYPCO’s Pre-Series A round led by General Catalyst isn’t just about raising capital. It’s about momentum, validation, and the recognition that Dubai real estate is entering a new era.
For anyone watching the property market in the Middle East, one thing is clear: PRYPCO isn’t just part of the MENA’s real estate story — it’s shaping the next chapter of it.
