Property Finder is the leading real estate classifieds platform in MENA. What began as a print magazine evolved into a digital-first property portal in 2007, now attracting over 14 million monthly visits across six regional markets.

As the only regional VC in their shareholder base, we were drawn by Michael’s steady hand, conscientious leadership, and long-term vision.

His journey, from reinventing the business to building one of the region’s largest and most profitable unicorns, reflects the kind of resilience and clarity we continue to look for in founders.

In 2024, we exited our full position through a company share buyback, but remained in constant contact with Michael as a close friend of the firm and a trusted advisor for us and our portfolio.

A year later, we continued our story with Property Finder by making a fresh $20m investment via our Growth Stage Fund I, our first investment from the fund. This deployment was part of a $170m round alongside Mubadala and another UAE sovereign wealth fund.
