estaie builds pricing, inventory and distribution systems specialized for stays of 30 to 365 nights, seeking to connect hotels, serviced apartments and holiday homes with extended-stay demand. Launched in April 2025 and based in Dubai, the platform has signed 400 hotels and 1,000 holiday homes and recorded more than 3,000 room nights booked with month-over-month growth of 17–18%. The company offers guaranteed discounts of at least 32% for extended stays and has developed its technology in-house, with three pending patents. The founding team includes CEO Osama Shawky, CTO Nimit Solanki (formerly at Careem and Grab), and COO Mark Reed. estaie is supported by TECOM Group’s in5 incubator and plans expansion into Saudi Arabia as its next major market, funded in part by its recent $1M pre-seed raise.
