Job description
Strategic Co-Founder & Investor for AI PropTech Vertical:
We are building the investment intelligence layer for real estate. Finding properties is easy but knowing whether a property is actually worth buying is not.
We are building an AI-powered real-estate investment platform that helps investors discover, analyse and act on property opportunities.
A broker lists a property on our platform.
Our intelligence engine analyses factors including:
- Property and comparable transactions
- Project and developer fundamentals
- Locality and infrastructure
- Rental economics
- Market conditions
- Pricing and valuation
- Potential future scenarios
The investor receives a simple investment view:
Estimated Fair Value
Valuation Gap
Rental Yield
Potential Return Scenarios
Risk Assessment
Investment Signal — Undervalued / Fairly Valued / Overvalued
The objective is simple: Help investors make better property decisions, faster.
For brokers, the proposition is equally simple: Lower customer acquisition cost and access to investors who have already demonstrated genuine interest in a property.
Why this could become much bigger than a property portal: We are not trying to build another Property Finder or Bayut. Our ambition is to build the decision layer between property discovery and investment action.
**Over time, the platform can evolve from:
Property Discovery → AI Valuation → Investment Intelligence → Investor Network → Broker Marketplace → Developer Marketplace
The long-term opportunity is to build proprietary data around: Properties + Transactions + Developers + Localities + Investor Behaviour + Investment Outcomes** That data can continuously improve the intelligence engine and create a defensible network.
Who we are looking for? We are looking for a strategic co-founder/investor, not simply someone writing a cheque. We are particularly interested in people with backgrounds in:
Technology / AI:
- CTOs
- Senior software engineers
- AI/ML professionals
- Data scientists
- Product leaders
- Marketplace founders
- FinTech / PropTech operators
Investment Banking / Finance:
- Investment bankers
- Private equity professionals
- Venture capital professionals
- Corporate finance professionals
- Equity research professionals
- Family-office professionals
- Investment professionals with strong analytical capabilities
Real Estate / Strategic Distribution:
- Real-estate entrepreneurs
- Developers
- Brokerage owners
- PropTech executives
- Investors with strong UAE real-estate networks
What we want from a co-founder/investor: Capital is important. But capital alone is not what we're looking for.
We want someone who can contribute one or more of:
Technology: Build the data, AI and product infrastructure.
Capital: Help fund the initial product and subsequent scale.
Distribution: Bring investors, brokers, developers or strategic partnerships.
Financial expertise: Help build institutional-grade valuation and investment frameworks.
Growth: Build a scalable investor acquisition engine.
Strategic thinking: Help us turn an early-stage product into a category-defining company.
And here is the nvestment opportunity
We are opening the opportunity to a limited number of strategic investors.
**Minimum investment:
US$50,000** Investment will be structured through CCPS, subject to definitive documentation and applicable UAE legal/regulatory requirements. Larger strategic commitments are welcome.
The objective is to build a strong founding investor group rather than a large number of passive shareholders.
Why join at this stage? Because we are intentionally early. We are not presenting a company that has already reached scale. We are building the product, validating the valuation methodology, onboarding the initial broker network and testing investor demand.
That means the risk is real. But so is the potential upside. We are looking for people who understand that venture businesses do not grow linearly. There will be experiments that fail. There will be iterations. There will be periods of slow adoption.There may also be moments where product-market fit creates acceleration much faster than expected. We want partners who understand that risk/reward profile.
What we are NOT looking for: - Passive investors looking for guaranteed returns
- People interested only because "Dubai real estate is booming"
- Short-term speculation
- People expecting immediate liquidity
- Investors who want to dictate the product without contributing operational value
We want builders, operators and investors who understand asymmetric opportunities.
What we are building over the next 12–24 months: Phase 1: Scale and launch the investment intelligence MVP.
Phase 2: Onboard the first broker network and investor community.
Phase 3: Validate the valuation and investment-scoring model against real market data.
Phase 4: Establish investor subscription and broker acquisition economics.
Phase 5: Expand into developer advertising and investment intelligence.
Phase 6: Scale across the UAE and eventually other major real-estate investment markets.
The opportunity :
We believe real estate needs a better decision-making layer. Property portals answer: "What properties are available?"
But we want to answer: "Which properties are actually worth investigating and why?"
That is the company we are building.
Interested?
If you are a technology leader, investment professional, growth operator, entrepreneur or real-estate strategist and want to help build this from the ground up, send me a message with:
1. Your background
2. What you could bring to the company
3. Your potential investment range
4. Why this opportunity interests you
We are intentionally keeping the founding group small.
