Moroccan startup Yakeey has just reached a major milestone, raising over $15 million in Series A funding-the largest ever recorded in the country at this stage. The deal represents a breakthrough moment for Morocco’s tech ecosystem and firmly establishes Yakeey as the nation’s leading real estate FinTech.
The funding round attracted several top-tier investors, most notably the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which made its very first venture capital investment in Morocco through this deal. Other backers include Beltone Venture Capital, Enza Capital, and CDG Invest via its 212 Founders program.
Launched in 2023 by Karim Beqqali (also the founder of the Ynexis Group) Yakeey offers far more than a basic property listing service. The platform streamlines the entire real estate journey: from property searches and independent valuations to certified agent support, mortgage simulations, and even instant property purchases through an iBuying service developed in partnership with Umnia Bank.
Yakeey’s approach combines elements of both PropTech and FinTech, with the goal of making real estate transactions more efficient, transparent, and secure. It’s also aiming to raise industry standards by supporting a growing network of independent agents. The company’s YakeeyPro network already includes more than 800 agents, nearly half of whom are women. The startup plans to expand this network to 10,000 agents across Morocco.
With fresh capital in hand, Yakeey is now focused on strengthening its position in the Moroccan market as it prepares for a broader expansion across the African continent.
