Founded in 2023 by Mohamed Gaber and Abdulaziz Al Muhaideb, Velents.ai initially started as an AI-driven recruitment platform before pivoting to broader enterprise AI applications. The company plans to open a new funding round in early 2026 to support further product expansion.
“Agent.sa is built for the region; it brings enterprise-grade AI to Arabic-speaking markets in a truly localized way,” said Mohamed Gaber, co-founder and CEO.
According to a report, the funding and product launch position Velents.ai among a new wave of MENA startups driving AI adoption across business operations.
Why Velents.ai Matters to MENA Startups
Arabic Enterprise AI highlights a growing gap in the regional AI ecosystem that Velents.ai aims to fill. By delivering a localized, Arabic-speaking AI workforce, Velents.ai is paving the way for:
- Increased AI accessibility for Arabic-first enterprises,
- Faster automation adoption across regulated industries, and
- Greater data sovereignty, as all processing remains compliant with local rules.
For MENA startups, this signals opportunity, both in AI integration and local-language innovation, as the region pushes toward building AI-native enterprises that reflect its linguistic and operational realities.
