Holo, a UAE-based proptech company, has closed a $22 million Series A round. The investment was led by Saudi Arabia’s Impact46 with participation from Mubadala, Rua Growth Fund, anb seed, MoreThan Capital, and returning investors Salica Oryx Fund and Dubai Future District Fund.

Founded in 2020 by Michael Hunter and Arran Summerhill, Holo provides digital mortgage solutions that allow homebuyers and owners to access financing and refinancing options through a streamlined platform.

Expansion across Saudi Arabia and the GCC

The new funding will accelerate Holo’s expansion into Saudi Arabia and other Gulf markets. The company also plans to strengthen its product and engineering teams, while building new partnerships to support rising demand for digital homeownership services in the region.

Last year, Holo raised a pre-Series A round from Dubai Future District Fund and Oryx Fund, joined by Aditum Investment Management Limited.

Growth opportunities in property and fintech

The UAE’s residential property market is projected to grow from $143 billion in 2025 to $217 billion by 2030, according to industry estimates. Government initiatives, including Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan and Abu Dhabi’s smart city programs, are creating opportunities for technology-driven real estate solutions.

Saudi Arabia is also investing heavily in housing reform and proptech under Vision 2030. Its residential property market, valued at $203 billion in 2025, is expected to reach $310 billion by 2030. Increasing mortgage penetration and urban development initiatives are contributing to this growth.

Co-founders on scaling homeownership solutions

Michael Hunter and Arran Summerhill, Co-Founders of Holo, stated, “At Holo, we’ve always believed that buying a home shouldn’t be complicated. With this raise, we’re not only scaling across borders but also scaling trust, simplicity, and access to homeownership. Our profitability in the UAE has given us the strength and confidence to invest ambitiously in high-growth markets like Saudi Arabia. The momentum around homeownership and digital transformation is only accelerating as the Kingdom inches closer to achieving Vision 2030. The vision is regional, and with backing from world-class investors, we’re in a prime position to keep raising the bar for how home-buying should work—faster, smarter, and built around the customer. With a mindset around technology being the engine behind everything we do, this has been the driving force behind our vision as we’ve remained focused on building a platform that eliminates the stress, confusion and guesswork of home-buying.”

Investor perspectives

Basmah AlSinaidi, Managing Partner at Impact46, commented, “Holo is bringing much-needed clarity to a process that’s long been opaque. By streamlining access to lenders and giving users full control of their home financing journey, they’re reshaping how people buy homes across the region. Their expansion into Saudi reflects a bigger shift in consumer expectations — and the rising demand for seamless, tech-driven ownership experiences.”

Ali Al Mheiri, Executive Director of UAE Diversified Assets at Mubadala, added, “Our investment in Holo comes from our belief in the strength of its vision, leadership, and ability to reshape how people navigate the home-buying journey. It also reflects our confidence in the UAE’s strong and resilient real estate market and the growing role of fintech in shaping the future of property ownership across the region.”

Turki Aljoaib, Managing Partner of Rua Growth Fund, said: “Holo is tackling a critical market need by digitising and democratising access to mortgages, especially as Saudi Arabia opens its real estate market to foreign investors and first-time homeowners. With a platform built on trust, simplicity, and regulatory alignment, Holo is uniquely positioned to serve a new wave of buyers navigating the Kingdom’s evolving property landscape.”

Next steps

The company plans to use the funding to expand its footprint in the region, recruit top talent, and strengthen internal capabilities. By combining fintech tools with real estate services, Holo aims to make homeownership more accessible and aligned with regional goals for digital transformation.
