Partment, a proptech firm that provides co-owned second homes, revealed today that the company concluded its pre-seed round at $1.5 million to improve the infrastructure of the platform and roll out its MVP beginning in Egypt.
Nclude, a well-known venture capital platform that specializes in funding fintech and fintech-enabled MSMEs in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa, and Plus Venture Capital (+VC), a venture capital firm that focuses on investing in pre-seed and seed-stage tech startups in the MENA region, took the lead in the round.

Users can register, arrange a conversation with an expert to learn more about the properties that are offered, and receive complete support to buy a stake in their selected unit.
Nadim Nagui, CEO of Partment, commented on the news, saying: “Partment is a novel concept in Egypt, and we believe it will transform how people acquire and use real estate in both the local and global markets. We are incredibly grateful that reputable investors believe in and support our mission.

Techbuild’s take
Ahmed El Raggal and Nadim Nagui founded Partment in 2022. Partment provides a smart booking framework that enables customers to co-own multiple homes and an end-to-end property maintenance solution, maximizing property utilization.
Through Partment, users may browse various listings of curated and fully managed homes in their preferred locations or destinations, co-own the property, and receive 40+ nights of use each year.
At some point, they can profit from possible capital gains by smoothly selling their individual shares of the venture.
The additional funding will assist Partment in improving the platform’s infrastructure and launching the MVP in Egypt.
