Farid Yousefi, Founder and CEO of Finder Group AI, introduced the company’s “by AI for AI” vision at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai, positioning the venture at the intersection of artificial intelligence, investment and business growth.
The launch highlighted Finder Group AI’s ambition to build a platform that goes beyond conventional funding by connecting promising AI companies with capital, strategic expertise, operational support and market opportunities.
With Dubai serving as its base, Finder Group AI aims to contribute to the rapidly expanding AI ecosystem across the UAE and the wider GCC while creating new connections between founders, investors and enterprises.
Finder Group AI’s “by AI for AI” Vision
The concept behind Finder Group AI is built around a clear objective: supporting artificial intelligence businesses with the resources required to move from innovation to commercial growth.
Rather than operating solely as a traditional investment platform, Finder Group AI combines investment opportunities with hands-on strategic and operational support.
This approach is designed to help selected AI ventures overcome some of the most common challenges faced during early and growth stages, including access to capital, market entry, business development, strategic partnerships and enterprise relationships.
Under Farid Yousefi’s leadership, the company seeks to create an environment where technology, investment and execution can work together.
Farid Yousefi’s Approach to AI Investment
Farid Yousefi’s strategy for Finder Group AI reflects a broader view of what AI companies need in order to scale successfully.
Capital remains important, but funding alone may not be enough to transform an innovative technology into a sustainable business.
Finder Group AI therefore focuses on combining financial opportunities with strategic guidance, business development and access to established networks.
The model is intended to support AI founders while simultaneously providing investors with access to carefully selected opportunities in one of the world’s fastest-evolving technology sectors.
Building Connections Between AI Startups and Investors
A central element of Finder Group AI’s strategy is its role as a connector.
The company aims to bring together AI entrepreneurs, investors, enterprises and strategic partners within a single ecosystem, creating opportunities for collaboration and commercial development.
Its support model can include:
Seed and early-growth investment opportunities
Strategic and operational guidance
Investor and enterprise introductions
Business development support
Go-to-market strategy
Board-level expertise
Strategic partnerships
Regional and international market expansion
By combining these elements, Finder Group AI aims to help promising AI ventures move beyond the development stage and establish commercially scalable businesses.
Dubai as a Strategic Base for Finder Group AI
Dubai plays an important role in Finder Group AI’s strategy.
The city has developed into an increasingly significant destination for artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, investment and digital transformation, while the wider GCC continues to attract global technology companies and emerging AI ventures.
Operating from Dubai gives Finder Group AI access to a market where government initiatives, private capital, enterprise demand and technology development increasingly intersect.
For Farid Yousefi, this environment creates an opportunity to connect global AI innovation with investors and commercial opportunities across the region.
The company’s presence in Dubai also supports its broader objective of serving as a bridge between international AI ventures and the growing technology ecosystem of the Middle East.
GITEX Global 2025 as a Platform for Growth
Launching Finder Group AI at GITEX Global 2025 placed the company in front of an international audience of technology leaders, founders, investors, enterprises and government representatives.
For Finder Group AI, GITEX represented more than a launch venue. It provided an opportunity to introduce its investment philosophy, establish strategic relationships and engage directly with stakeholders shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
The event also reinforced the company’s positioning within Dubai’s growing technology landscape and the wider GCC AI ecosystem.
Through these connections, Finder Group AI aims to identify promising ventures and help transform technological innovation into commercially viable businesses.
From AI Innovation to Commercial Execution
One of the key themes behind Finder Group AI is the importance of execution.
Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, but technological innovation alone does not guarantee commercial success. AI businesses must also navigate funding, market positioning, partnerships, customer acquisition and international expansion.
Finder Group AI’s model is designed around this transition.
By combining investment with operational expertise and strategic connections, the company aims to help selected AI businesses progress from promising concepts and technologies toward sustainable commercial growth.
This approach also reflects Farid Yousefi’s broader vision of building long-term value through connections between technology, investment and business execution.
Strengthening Finder Group AI’s Position in the GCC AI Ecosystem
The launch at GITEX Global 2025 marked an important step in establishing Finder Group AI within the regional artificial intelligence landscape.
With its Dubai headquarters, investment-focused model and emphasis on strategic support, the company is positioned to participate in the next phase of AI growth across the UAE and GCC.
For Farid Yousefi, the objective extends beyond investing in individual companies. Finder Group AI is designed to build an ecosystem where founders can access the expertise, relationships and capital needed to grow, while investors can discover emerging opportunities within artificial intelligence.
As AI continues to reshape industries and business models, Finder Group AI aims to position itself at the intersection of innovation, capital and execution.
