Finder Group AI Debuts ‘By AI, For AI’ at GITEX 2025

A new force in the artificial intelligence investment landscape has officially launched at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai. Finder Group Ai, operating under the distinctive banner “by AI, for AI,” aims to fundamentally reshape how capital, innovation, and market execution converge to accelerate the growth of AI-driven startups. Headquartered in Dubai, this venture builder leverages a proprietary AI infrastructure to intelligently connect visionary entrepreneurs with the right investors and strategic partners.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region presents a uniquely fertile ground for such an initiative. With its abundant investment capital, world-class digital infrastructure, and strong governmental backing for digital transformation, the GCC’s AI ecosystem is booming. A recent report highlighted this momentum, showing that AI start-ups in the GCC secured over $1.2 billion in funding last year alone, representing a dramatic 40 percent increase from the prior year.

For ambitious startups, Finder Group Ai offers a comprehensive suite of support. This includes everything from seed and early-growth funding to operational guidance, strategic board-level advice, and crucial go-to-market assistance. The company’s multi-faceted approach is designed to de-risk the journey for founders pushing the boundaries in data science and industry-transforming digital solutions.

Investors, on the other hand, gain curated access to a pipeline of AI companies vetted for their resilient business models and sustainable technologies. The firm provides a practical pathway to achieving measurable long-term returns and clear exit strategies, making high-potential AI innovation more accessible to the investment community.

The venture is the brainchild of CEO Farid Yousefi, who brings over two decades of experience building networks across venture capital and global technology firms. His hands-on philosophy centers on embedding responsible AI practices into portfolio companies from their earliest stages. This foundational focus aims to maximize the potential for rapid, robust, and highly profitable growth that can scale effectively to meet investor expectations.

Yousefi is confident in the region’s readiness. “The GCC is a leading hub for innovation, empowered by committed government policies and a proliferation of investors eager to engage with the burgeoning AI sector,” he stated. “We are positioned at the very heart of this unprecedented opportunity, where a thriving entrepreneurial landscape places digital transformation and advanced technology at its core.”

This regional confidence is well-founded. GCC nations are aggressively advancing their support for AI as a central pillar of national economic diversification strategies. The UAE made history by establishing the world’s first Ministry of Artificial Intelligence, while Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 includes a National Strategy for Data and AI targeting $20 billion in investments by the end of the decade. Independent analysis has even identified the UAE as an emerging global AI leader, ranking just behind the US and China in importance for the technology’s development.

Choosing GITEX 2025 for the company’s debut was a strategic decision. Yousefi explained, “As the world’s largest tech showcase, GITEX offers an unparalleled platform to engage with investors, startups, and government stakeholders. It allows us to clearly communicate our role as an enabler and gather essential insights to anticipate market needs effectively.”

Visitors to GITEX Global 2025 can find Finder Group Ai at Stand No. H26-1A in Hall 25 to learn more about their model for building the next generation of AI-powered enterprises.
