๐ฅ Egypt’s Nawy Just SMASHED the African Proptech Game with $52M Raise โ Here’s How They’re DOMINATING
The Broken System Nawy Just NUKED
Imagine trying to buy property in Egypt before 2019:
- ๐ค Relying on your uncle’s cousin’s “trusted” broker
- ๐ธ Getting steered toward the highest-commission properties
- ๐ Digging through developer brochures like an archeologist
This was the REAL ESTATE DARK AGE โ 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
๐ฐ The $75M Power Move That Changes EVERYTHING
Nawy just landed one of Africa’s biggest Series A rounds EVER:
- ๐ต $52M equity led by Partech Africa
- ๐ฆ $23M debt from Egypt’s top banks
- ๐ Total funding now at $75M
This isn’t just money โ it’s validation that Nawy’s model is the FUTURE of real estate in emerging markets.
โก๏ธ How Nawy Went From 0 to 3,000 Brokers in 5 Years
The startup’s secret weapon? Turning enemies into allies:
- ๐ธ PAID brokers IMMEDIATELY after first transaction
- ๐ Gave them live inventory access (game changer)
- ๐ Created flexible payout options
Result? Over 3,000 brokerages now actively use Nawy Partners โ and they’re bringing the ENTIRE market online.
๐ The 50X Growth Rocket Fuel
Check these INSANE metrics:

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