Investment: “GAIA raises USD 1.5M”
Gaia is a Saudi enterprise AI startup that develops a sovereign AI platform to help organizations search, understand, and act on information without sending their data outside the company. The company has raised USD 1.5 million in a pre-seed round led by SEEDRA Ventures.
Founded by Badr Al Malluh and Mohammad Rababah, Gaia connects knowledge, files, systems, emails, and workflows into a single operational intelligence layer where data never leaves the organization. Its Enterprise Search provides instant, cited answers across every connected system, showing exactly which file, thread, or record the information came from, and generative AI answers are grounded in an organization’s own data with cited sources. Gaia also offers an AI Assistant that generates responses linked back to original sources, purpose-built AI Agents that can complete tasks across applications and automate recurring work such as summaries and reports, and cross-system workflows where important steps are routed to a person for approval.
With the funding, Gaia will continue developing its platform and working with enterprises to apply AI to real operational challenges. The investment will support the company’s continued product development and expansion as it builds its presence in Saudi Arabia’s growing enterprise AI market.
