It manages $3.

5 billion in assets across Europe, UAE and US.

Funds will boost product development, expansion and team growth.

Abu Dhabi-based proptech startup eVoost AI has secured €2 million in fresh funding as it pushes to scale its AI-powered residential sales platform across the UAE, Europe and beyond. The round was led by Spanish venture capital firm First Drop VC, with participation from a syndicated vehicle linked to Hub71 and backed by Mubadala, alongside strategic investors and angel backers active in markets such as Romania and the UAE.

Founded by Cristian Pastrana and Koh Onozawa, the former co-CEO of crypto platform Bit2Me, eVoost AI is building what it describes as a data-driven operating system for residential real estate sales. In simple terms, the company wants developers to stop building first and figuring out demand later. Instead, its platform uses artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and automation to gauge buyer interest early, adjust pricing dynamically and refine marketing strategies before projects are even completed.

That point, I have to say, feels spot on. Across MENA, we’ve seen developers spend millions on glossy launches only to realise the product-market fit wasn’t quite there. It’s a bit of a faff, not to mention expensive. eVoost claims its technology helps avoid that scenario by combining behavioural data with real-time insights, giving developers a clearer view of who is likely to buy, at what price, and when.

The startup says it already manages more than $3.5 billion in real estate assets under commercial agreements across Europe, the UAE and the United States. Its teams operate from Abu Dhabi, Madrid and Gijón, with plans to deepen its footprint in Spain, Portugal, the UAE and the US, while eyeing additional markets in the near future.

Pastrana has framed the company’s mission as transforming a traditionally fragmented and analogue sector into one powered by automation and intelligent infrastructure. He said the new capital would accelerate the build-out of what he called an “intelligent operating system for residential commercialization”, aiming to shift an industry long governed by gut feeling towards one driven by data and AI.

According to Manu Nieto, co-founder of First Drop VC, the investment ties into a broader global challenge around housing access. He noted that many developers still build without truly understanding their end customer, and argued that eVoost’s technology identifies demand and optimises sales strategies even before construction begins.

The funding will be channelled into three main areas: further product and technology development, international expansion and team growth. And believe it or not, this focus on infrastructure rather than flashy consumer apps is becoming something of a pattern across the region’s AI scene. Investors are increasingly looking at the plumbing behind large industries, real estate, finance, logistics, where inefficiencies are obvious and the upside can be sizeable.

From where I stand, covering MENA’s startup ecosystem for years, this feels like a logical next step. Real estate remains one of the Gulf’s most important sectors, yet it has lagged in digital transformation compared with fintech or e-commerce. If platforms like eVoost can genuinely align supply with real demand, the impact could be significant, not just for margins, but for how cities are planned.

Of course, scaling across jurisdictions is never straightforward. Regulations differ, buyer behaviour shifts, and local partnerships can make or break expansion plans. Still, with institutional backing tied to Hub71 and cross-border investors on board, the startup appears well positioned to test its model at a wider scale.

Whether eVoost can definitly turn AI-powered insight into a standard tool for developers across MENA and Europe remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the race to digitise property sales is well underway, and this Abu Dhabi player has just added fresh fuel to its tank.
