Sinai.ai, a platform specializing in advanced interactive reading, has raised $1.45 million in a pre-seed funding round led by KAUST Innovation Ventures (KIV) and DisrupTech Ventures, with participation from Maza Ventures, YOUXEL Ventures, and a group of angel investors, to further develop its proprietary technologies and AI infrastructure.
The platform offers its patented “aiBook” technology, a unique book format that transforms traditional texts into immersive multimedia experiences. It also operates on a direct licensing model with publishers, addressing the intellectual property challenges commonly associated with traditional generative AI models.
Through the platform, users can interact with book content in real time, generate customized study guides and assessments, seamlessly switch between reading and listening, and visually explore complex narratives—all within a library that includes thousands of titles and partnerships with dozens of major publishing houses.
Ahmed Kamel, Co-founder and CEO of Sinai.ai, said:
“This funding will be directed toward strengthening our AI infrastructure, expanding our user base, and increasing content licensing, with the aim of offering a partnership model that protects publishers’ rights while opening new global market opportunities through interactive technologies.”
Mohamed Okasha, Co-founder at DisrupTech Ventures, added:
“The Egyptian team behind Sinai.ai is building a transformative model that delivers an unprecedented learning and discovery experience. We are proud to support Egyptian founders who are pushing the boundaries of innovation beyond local markets.”
The startup was founded in Egypt by a team combining academic and technical expertise from leading international institutions and universities.
