🔥 Egypt’s Nawy Just SMASHED the African Proptech Game with $52M Raise – Here’s How They’re DOMINATING

The Broken System Nawy Just NUKED

Imagine trying to buy property in Egypt before 2019:

  • 🤝 Relying on your uncle’s cousin’s “trusted” broker
  • 💸 Getting steered toward the highest-commission properties
  • 📜 Digging through developer brochures like an archeologist

This was the REAL ESTATE DARK AGE – until Mostafa El Beltagy and his co-founders dropped Nawy like a tech nuke on the industry.

“I had to go developer by developer like some damn door-to-door salesman just to understand the market. The system was RIGGED against buyers.”

Mostafa El Beltagy, Nawy CEO & Ex-Vodafone Exec

💰 The $75M Power Move That Changes EVERYTHING

Nawy just landed one of Africa’s biggest Series A rounds EVER:

  • 💵 $52M equity led by Partech Africa
  • 🏦 $23M debt from Egypt’s top banks
  • 🚀 Total funding now at $75M

This isn’t just money – it’s validation that Nawy’s model is the FUTURE of real estate in emerging markets.

⚡️ How Nawy Went From 0 to 3,000 Brokers in 5 Years

The startup’s secret weapon? Turning enemies into allies:

  • 💸 PAID brokers IMMEDIATELY after first transaction
  • 📈 Gave them live inventory access (game changer)
  • 🔄 Created flexible payout options

Result? Over 3,000 brokerages now actively use Nawy Partners – and they’re bringing the ENTIRE market online.

🚀 The 50X Growth Rocket Fuel

Check these INSANE metrics:

  • 📊 $1.4B GMV in 2024 (up from $38M in 2020)
  • 🏗 150+ developers covering Egypt’s $30B new build market
  • 👥 1M+ monthly visitors fighting for visibility

All while the Egyptian pound lost 69% of its value. That’s not luck – that’s MARKET DOMINATION.

🔮 The Future: Fractional Ownership & Regional Conquest

Nawy’s not stopping at listings:

  • 🏠 Nawy Shares: Buy property with just $500
  • 💳 “Move Now Pay Later”: Mortgages for the unbanked
  • 🌍 Expansion targets: Morocco, Saudi Arabia, UAE

“We’re building the foundation for a MODERN real estate experience. Nawy isn’t just winning Egypt – they’re conquering MENA.”

Tidjane Deme, General Partner at Partech

💥 The Bottom Line

Nawy proved something CRUCIAL: Even in chaotic markets, tech can create ORDER. They turned real estate from a rich man’s game into an EVERYMAN’S opportunity.

Watch this space – because Nawy’s just getting started.
