Dubai-based proptech startup Coraly.ai has raised $2 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Salica Oryx Fund, with participation from EQ2 Ventures and strategic angel investors. The AI-driven platform, formerly known as Coralytics, helps real estate professionals automate listing creation, lead generation, and property marketing across multiple portals.
Founded by former Property Finder executive Fouad Bekkar, Coraly.ai claims to have processed over 1 million listings and 500 million images in 2025, serving more than 1,200 professionals across 25 countries. Its AI-powered solutions include automated SEO copywriting, photo staging, and multi-portal publishing, reducing listing creation time from hours to seconds. The company says users save over 20 hours per week and close deals 47% faster.
Bekkar, who previously founded HomeValue.ai (acquired by Property Finder in 2022), said the mission is to simplify real estate growth with “AI that just works.” The new funding will be used to expand the engineering team, enhance AI capabilities, and establish operations in Saudi Arabia, while consolidating leadership in the UAE. Pilot programs are also planned in France and the United States, supported by partnerships with SNPI (France’s largest real estate union) and a US MLS partner.
Backers praised the startup’s potential to transform global real estate workflows. Ivo Detelinov, General Partner at Salica Oryx Fund, said Coraly.ai represents “a significant advancement in real estate marketing technology.” EQ2 Ventures CEO Patrick Thiriet added that AI can unlock productivity in industries reliant on legacy software, with property markets especially ripe for disruption.
Coraly.ai already integrates with major property portals including Property Finder, Bayut, Dubizzle, Rightmove, and Zoopla, as well as CRM systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive. Its 24/7 AI lead qualification tool helps agents capture 60% more qualified leads outside business hours, further boosting efficiency.
