UAE-based proptech startup Takeem has secured investment from REACH Middle East, an accelerator supported by Second Century Ventures — the investment division of the National Association of Realtors and one of the world’s most active real estate technology investors.
The funding was channelled through REACH Middle East, the regional extension of the globally recognised REACH growth programme, which partners with high-potential technology companies transforming different segments of the real estate value chain.
In less than a year, Takeem has onboarded more than 55,000 residential units onto its platform, representing over AED 5 billion in annual rental value.
The milestone reflects strong institutional confidence in its model, as the company now expands further into the consumer market to support individual landlords and tenants.
The platform aims to address persistent structural inefficiencies in rental markets, including limited transparency around risk, lengthy processes and liquidity constraints.
Through proprietary risk intelligence tools and a rental guarantee framework, it seeks to reduce landlord exposure, enhance returns and improve tenant accessibility, while fostering greater affordability and trust across the ecosystem.
Takeem’s growth trajectory has been reinforced by several industry accolades. It received the Most Advanced App award under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan in April 2024, was recognised as Startup of the Year at the 2025 Tech Innovation Awards, secured runner-up in the PropTech of the Year category at the Property Finder Awards, and won PropTech of the Year at the World Realty Congress.
