The SME Story: Jad Antoun, CEO and co-founder of Huspy 

Huspy is a platform that delivers financing and refinancing of UAE properties. A technology company at its core with in-house real estate expertise, Huspy is addressing the end-to-end experience of the real estate market in the region, building solutions that dramatically speed up and enhance the customer experience, whilst freeing up market liquidity by making transactions faster and more attractive. I was fortunate enough to work in an early stage startup in the US prior to coming to Dubai and joining the investment team at BECO where we sought out tech companies to champion in the region – Careem and Kitopi, for example. This has given me a real appetite for building tech solutions for real world problems in a region I care passionately about. Thanks to my investment background, I am able to tap into an extensive network of investors both locally and abroad to help bring on this journey with us. While more expats are considering laying down roots here, globally mortgage rates are down and consumers are growing accustomed to more control, emboldened with greater access to information and frustrated by the slow pace of change in the real estate industry.
