Marrfa Secures Pre-Seed Funding to Revolutionize Cross-Border Real Estate Investments

Marrfa, the visionary cross-border real estate investment platform, has successfully concluded its pre-seed funding round, with the investment amount remaining undisclosed. This significant achievement is attributed to the leadership of Foundamental, a prominent global VC firm headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Notably, Prashant Malik, General Partner at Tykhe Block Ventures, has also made substantial contributions to Marrfa’s pre-seed funding in his personal capacity.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Jamil Ahmed, known for co-founding and scaling Fashinza to a $300 million valuation across four continents within three years, Marrfa aims to democratize access to high-yield real estate investment opportunities globally. The platform specifically targets challenges within the $270 billion unstructured cross-border real estate market.

Jamil Ahmed expressed Marrfa’s mission, stating, “Marrfa is on a mission to unearth the potential of niche real estate markets and provide retail investors worldwide with unparalleled access. This investment from Foundamental and Prashant Malik underscores our vision and the confidence in our ability to disrupt conventional real estate investment models.”

Shubhankar Bhattacharya, General Partner at Foundamental, emphasized the strategic partnership, stating, “We are privileged to partner with Jamil from day zero of his next big adventure. The world of real estate assets is converging towards democratized access faster than ever before, and we believe that Marrfa’s approach represents a tremendous opportunity.”

Prashant Malik, General Partner at Tykhe Block Ventures and an early Facebook engineer, expressed confidence in Marrfa’s transformative potential. He stated, “The opportunity to make high-yield, cross-border real estate investments accessible to a broader audience is transformative. I look forward to seeing Marrfa lead the charge in making these opportunities more transparent and attainable.”
