Dubai-headquartered proptech startup Coraly.ai has raised $2 million in its pre-seed round. The investment was led by Salica Oryx Fund, with participation from EQ2 Ventures and several strategic angel investors.
Previously known as Coralytics, the platform uses artificial intelligence to support real estate agents by automating listing creation, lead generation, and marketing across multiple portals and CRM systems.
Performance and traction
- In 2025, the platform processed more than 1 million listings and 500 million images.
- It is currently used by over 1,200 real estate professionals in 25 countries.
- Its AI-powered features reduce the time for listing creation and image enhancement from hours to just seconds.
- According to the company, users save over 20 hours per week and close deals 47 percent faster.
Founder
The company was founded by Fouad Bekkar, a former Property Finder executive. Bekkar had earlier launched HomeValue.ai, which was acquired by Property Finder in 2022.
Commenting on the funding, Bekkar said:
“Many agents still rely on outdated and fragmented systems. Our mission is to simplify real estate sales with AI. This investment will accelerate product development and support expansion into new markets.”
Expansion plans
- Opening an office in Saudi Arabia.
- Strengthening market presence in the UAE.
- Running pilot projects in France and the United States.
- Strategic partnerships include France’s SNPI, representing 14,800 real estate agencies, and the startup’s first MLS collaboration in the US.
Investors’ views
According to Ivo Detelinov, Partner at Salica Oryx Fund:
“Coraly.ai is transforming real estate marketing. Its technology allows agents to promote properties faster and more effectively.”
Patrick Thiriet, CEO of EQ2 Ventures, added:

The platform is already integrated with portals such as PropertyFinder, Bayut, Dubizzle, Rightmove, and Zoopla, as well as CRM systems including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive. Its 24/7 AI-powered lead qualification tool enables agents to capture 60 percent more high-quality leads, even outside of working hours.
