Real estate: Yakeey secures Morocco’s largest series a funding round

Moroccan proptech startup Yakeey has reached a major milestone after securing more than 15 million dollars in a Series A funding round, the largest of its kind ever recorded in Morocco. Backed by a diverse group of investors, the operation marks a decisive step in the company’s ambition to build a transactional infrastructure for the African real estate market.

Founded with the goal of modernizing property transactions, Yakeey positions itself as a technology-driven platform combining artificial intelligence, data analytics and human expertise. According to its founder, Karim Beqqali, the objective is not to multiply property listing portals, but rather to create a trusted and efficient ecosystem that simplifies access to real estate while empowering industry professionals.

A key pillar of Yakeey’s strategy is its professional network, YakeeyPro, which already brings together more than 800 independent real estate agents across Morocco. These agents benefit from training, digital tools and operational support, contributing to the professionalization of the sector, job creation and economic inclusion. Women currently represent nearly half of this network, and the company aims to scale it rapidly to several thousand agents nationwide.

Strong investor backing

Beyond its record size, the funding round stands out for the profile of its investors. Among them is the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, which has made its first-ever venture capital investment in Morocco through Yakeey. The institution views the project as a catalyst for job creation and innovation in a sector that remains largely fragmented.

Other investors involved highlighted Yakeey’s operational performance and regional ambitions, considering the startup well positioned to become a leading proptech player in Africa. The investment also reflects growing confidence in Morocco’s technology ecosystem and its capacity to produce scalable solutions with continental impact.

Founded in 2023, Yakeey offers an integrated platform covering the entire real estate journey, from property search to transaction completion. With this new funding, the company plans to strengthen its role as a trusted intermediary in the Moroccan market while contributing to a more transparent, structured and inclusive real estate ecosystem.
