TLDR: Velents.ai, an enterprise artificial intelligence startup, has successfully closed a $1.5 million funding round.

Velents.ai, a rapidly expanding startup specializing in enterprise artificial intelligence solutions, has announced the successful closure of a $1.5 million funding round. This significant investment marks a pivotal moment for the company, coinciding with the official launch of its innovative platform, Agent.sa – heralded as the first fully integrated Arabic-speaking AI employee designed to function within organizations akin to a human team member.
The funding round attracted prominent angel investors, including senior executives from global technology and consulting giants such as Google and BCG. This strategic capital injection is earmarked to bolster Velents’ technological capabilities and advance its vision of developing indigenous Arabic-native AI technologies that cater to organizations in their specific language and dialects, thereby reducing reliance on foreign models.
Agent.sa is positioned as a transformative solution across diverse industries, including banking, telecommunications, logistics, and healthcare. The AI agent boasts the ability to operate 24/7, managing thousands of customer interactions concurrently. Its advanced executive capabilities enable it to respond to calls, manage conversations across platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram, analyze data, track requests, and execute operational tasks with unparalleled precision and speed, all in natural Arabic.
A key differentiator for Agent.sa is its proprietary Arabic-language model, meticulously trained on millions of texts and conversations spanning various Arabic dialects. Furthermore, the platform adheres to stringent local data protection regulations; for instance, data for Saudi Arabian clients is stored within the Kingdom, and all operations for Egyptian clients remain within national borders. The AI’s voice, dialect, communication style, and tone are fully customizable, and it integrates with over 20 systems, from payment gateways to CRM platforms, ensuring seamless deployment.
Mohamed Gaber, Co-founder and CEO of Velents, emphasized the company’s mission: ‘We are not just developing a technical tool; we are introducing a real digital employee that works alongside the human team, understanding Arabic dialects accurately to enhance corporate productivity.’ Abdulaziz Almuhaydib, Co-founder and COO, added, ‘We are not selling ready-made software, but rather embedding a smart employee within every company, an employee that learns, interacts, and delivers value moment by moment.’
Founded in 2020 by entrepreneurs Mohamed Gaber and Abdulaziz Almuhaydib, Velents initially focused on recruitment automation. The company underwent a rebranding in 2023, evolving into a comprehensive platform for enterprise AI solutions. It now empowers companies to attract ambitious talent and manage their operations digitally through innovative AI-powered solutions. Velents currently serves a broad client base, including private companies, universities, and government ministries in both Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The recent growth has been significantly driven by the successful deployment of AI agents in critical areas such as customer service, sales, and quality control.
