UAE proptech startup Daleel raised $3 million pre-seed to organise a notoriously messy property market.

The funding will boost product development, mobile apps, and expansion beyond Dubai.

Daleel uses AI to merge government records with live listings for “accurate market insights”.

Plans include Saudi expansion ahead of 2026 foreign ownership rule changes.

Its strength lies in detailed, cleaned data rather than flashy features.

UAE-based proptech startup Daleel has raised $3 million in a pre-seed funding round, a solid early vote of confidence for a young company trying to bring some order to a famously messy market.

The startup plans to use the fresh capital to double down on product development, roll out mobile apps and expand beyond Dubai into other emirates. It is also getting itself ready for Saudi Arabia, with an eye on new regulations set to allow foreign ownership of property from 2026. That timing feels spot on. Anyone who’s spent time watching Gulf real estate knows how quickly rules can shift the centre of gravity.

At its core, Daleel is tackling a problem many founders quietly grumble about over coffee: property data is scattered everywhere. The platform uses artificial intelligence to bring together official government transaction records and live property listings, aiming to offer users accurate market insights and real-time analytical reports, starting in Dubai and then across the wider GCC.

What caught my attention is the level of granularity. The platform links actual sale transactions, registered rental contracts, mortgage filings and even project tracking, then cross-checks all that against the latest live ads from major property portals, removing duplicates along the way. That kind of cleaning is usually a bit of a faff, especially for investors trying to make quick decisions.

Users can ask about expected rental yields, search for units that match specific criteria, or set alerts for opportunities based on market movements. The answers are generated by blending government records with market listings, which—if it works as intended—could take some of the guesswork out of property hunting. I reckon that’s where the real value sits.

Here at Arageek, I’ve seen early-stage founders struggle with data quality more than flashy features, so this focus feels refreshing. On the flip side, scaling such data-heavy products across borders is never easy, well… I mean, every market has its own quirks. Still, with Saudi Arabia opening up and regional appetite clearly growing, Daleel seems well positioned to ride that wave, even if the road ahead won’t be entirely smooth.

For a pre-seed startup, it’s a confident first step—and one that many in the region will be watching closly.
