Saudi Aramco, Mubadala Boost Dubai's Real Estate Sector With $14M Stake Investment
Stake, a Dubai-based digital platform for real estate investment, has successfully raised $14 million in its Series A funding round. The investment was led by Saudi Aramco's venture capital arm and Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Investment Co.
總部位於迪拜的房地產投資數字平台Stake在其A輪融資中成功籌集了1400萬美元。這次投資由沙特阿美的創業投資部門和阿布扎比主權財富基金Mubadala Investment Co.領銜。
Why It Matters: The Series A funding round, which also included U.S.-based private investing platform Republic, was spearheaded by Middle East Venture Partners, as per a Bloomberg report. The startup, which declined to disclose its valuation, plans to utilize a portion of the funds to enter the Saudi Arabian market.
爲什麼重要：根據彭博社的報道，該A輪融資輪還包括美國私人投資平台共和國。由中東風險投資公司Middle East Venture Partners發起。這家初創公司拒絕透露其估值，並計劃利用部分資金進入沙特阿拉伯市場。
Stake, which employs a fractional ownership model, allows property investments starting from 500 dirhams ($136). The platform boasts over 500,000 users, with 50% of them being from outside the United Arab Emirates. The firm aims to become the first platform to enable individuals outside the kingdom to invest in the local real estate market.
採用分數所有權模式的Stake允許最低從500迪拉姆（136美元）開始的房地產投資。該平台擁有超過50萬用戶，其中50%來自阿拉伯聯合酋長國以外的地區。該公司旨在成爲首個允許境外個人投資當地房地產市場的平台。
Co-founder Manar Mahmassani expressed optimism about the Saudi market, citing "huge tailwinds from pent-up demand from the local population and opening up to foreign ownership." The company plans to triple its headcount in the kingdom to 15 by the end of the year.
聯合創始人Manar Mahmassani對沙特市場表示樂觀，並指出“當地人口有着巨大的需求，外國人也可以參與到房地產業中來。”該公司計劃在年底之前將在沙特的總部員工數增加三倍至15人。
Since its launch in 2021, Stake has raised $13 million from seed and pre-Series A funding. The company has so far acquired over 200 properties worth 355 million dirhams, according to the statement.
自2021年推出以來，Stake已從種子輪和A輪前融資中籌集了1300萬美元。據該聲明，該公司已經收購了價值355 million dirhams的200多所物業。
What's Next: The investment from Saudi Aramco and Mubadala aligns with broader economic strategies in the region. Recently, Saudi Aramco announced an $11.2 billion stock sale to support Saudi Arabia's economic transformation plans. This move is part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 initiative, aimed at diversifying the kingdom's economy away from oil dependency.
下一步：沙特阿美和Mubadala的投資符合該地區更廣泛的經濟戰略。最近，沙特阿美宣佈進行了一項112億美元的股票出售，以支持沙特阿拉伯的經濟轉型計劃。這一舉措是沙特阿拉伯王儲穆罕默德·本·薩勒曼的“2030願景”倡議的一部分，旨在實現該王國經濟從石油依賴性中實現多元化。
Additionally, Aramco is in talks with Tellurian Inc. and NextDecade Corporation for LNG projects, indicating its interest in expanding its energy portfolio. This diversification strategy is evident in its investment in Stake, a fintech company focusing on real estate, a sector experiencing significant growth in Dubai.
此外，沙特阿美正在與Tellurian Inc.和nextdecade公司就液化天然氣項目進行談判，表明其擴大其能源業務組合的興趣。該多元化策略在其對房地產的投資中也得到了體現，Stake作爲一家專注於房地產的金融科技公司，該領域在迪拜經歷了顯着的增長。
Meanwhile, Mubadala has been actively investing in various sectors, including a $1 billion private credit deal with Goldman Sachs to capitalize on the Asia-Pacific market. This diversified investment approach underscores Mubadala's strategy to seek high returns across different asset classes.
與此同時，Mubadala一直在積極投資各個行業，包括與高盛共同投資10億美元用於資本自營，以資本充足化資本市場和資本普及化。這種多元化的投資方式強調了Mubadala在不同資產類別中尋求高回報的策略。
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund recently invested $250 million in a healthcare fund, Afiyah, to boost the kingdom's healthcare sector.
此外，沙特阿拉伯的主權財富基金最近投資了2.5億美元的醫療健康基金Afiyah，以推動該國的醫療保健行業發展。
