Cairo - Sharikat Mubasher: Sinai.ai, an AI-powered platform transforming traditional books into interactive and personalized reading experiences, announced it has secured $1.45 million in a pre-seed funding round led by KAUST Innovation Ventures and DisrupTech Ventures, with participation from Maza Ventures, YOUXEL Ventures, and a group of angel investors.

As per the company’s press release, the funding will be used to advance the company’s proprietary technology, expand its AI infrastructure, grow its user base, and secure content licensing agreements. Sinai.ai is positioning itself to modernize the $150 billion global book market through its aiBook™ format, which transforms traditional books into interactive, personalized experiences.

The company has already partnered with multiple publishers and launched with thousands of titles.

Ahmed Kamel, Co-Founder and CEO of Sinai.ai, said the company aims to redefine how readers interact with books while working alongside publishers to create a sustainable, rights-compliant ecosystem.

Investors highlighted the platform’s potential to reshape the publishing industry by combining AI with licensed content, while maintaining a collaborative approach with traditional stakeholders.
