Providing co-owned second homes, Partment announced on Wednesday that it has concluded its pre-seed round at $1.5 million. The money will be used to improve the platform’s infrastructure and implement its MVP in Egypt.
The round was spearheaded by Plus Venture Capital (+VC), a MENA-focused venture capital firm investing in pre-seed and seed digital start-ups, and Nclude, a leading venture capital platform focused on investing in fintech and fintech-enabled start-ups in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa.
A wide group of angel investors, including top tech leaders and real estate sector professionals, participated in the round as well.
A hassle-free option for second home co-ownership is provided by apartments. Partment provides end-to-end property management services, maximizing property utilisation, while enabling users to co-own second homes at a fraction of the cost using the digital platform and smart booking system.
Users can register, book a call with an expert to learn more about the properties that are available, and receive complete support to buy a share in the unit of their choice.
The CEO of Partment, Nadim Nagui, commented on the news, saying: “Partment is a novel concept in Egypt, and we believe it will alter how people buy and use real estate on both the domestic and global markets.
We are incredibly grateful that reputable investors believe in and support our mission.
