Yakeey’s $15 million Series A puts fresh money behind a simple idea, which is fixing real estate deals by putting listings, prices, agents, and financing in one place, so buyers and sellers finish deals with less stress and fewer delays. Enza Capital led the round with participation from IFC, Beltone Venture Capital, and CDG Invest via 212Founders.

Wamda reports that Beltone Venture Capital joined the same $15 million Series A as a strategic equity investor, alongside IFC, Enza Capital, and 212 Founders. IFC describes it as a consortium round with international and local investors.

Many property platforms stop at ads and phone numbers. Yakeey says it wants to run the full transaction flow. IFC explains that Yakeey integrates property search, valuation, brokerage, and financing into one transaction setup. That matters because deals fail when each step sits in a separate silo.

Yakeey is a platform that brings the real estate chain into one interface to streamline access to housing and digitise the value chain.

Services are fragmented, financing slows down deals, and price visibility stays limited. When people cannot trust the price or the process, deals take longer and cost more.

Yakeey’s approach tries to reduce information gaps. If buyers see clearer pricing and lenders see cleaner data, approvals move faster. This is not a flashy idea. It is basic infrastructure for a market that still runs on manual handoffs.

Yakeey does not only rely on software. The company will also scale its YakeeyPro network of 800-plus independent agents, and it adds that nearly half are women. That matters because property deals still need people on the ground, especially for viewings, checks, and closing support.

IFC also states that Yakeey offers Instant Buying, also called iBuying, in Morocco. It describes this as a quick, guaranteed sale at a transparent price through direct purchase agreements with Umnia Bank. For sellers, this model reduces long waiting periods and the risk of a deal collapsing late.

This round stands out because IFC calls it its first venture capital investment in Morocco. That signals stronger confidence in early-stage tech in the country, not only in traditional large projects.

IFC also links the investment to wider goals such as housing access, job creation, and more transparent markets. This reads like a bet that better rails for property deals can support broader economic activity.

Yakeey plans to use the funding to strengthen and launch new products, scale the platform, and deepen partnerships with financial institutions. That last point matters because mortgages and home loans often decide if a deal closes or fails. Platform scaling and market expansion are also key uses of the round.
