Farid Yousefi, Founder and CEO of Finder Group AI, marked a significant milestone in his technology and investment journey with the official launch of Finder Group AI at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai.
Introduced under the vision “by AI for AI,” Finder Group AI was established to connect artificial intelligence innovation with investment capital, strategic expertise and market opportunities. Its launch at one of the world’s leading technology events positioned the company within the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem of the UAE and wider GCC region.
Finder Group AI Launches at GITEX Global 2025
GITEX Global 2025 provided a strategic platform for the introduction of Finder Group AI, bringing the company into an environment where technology leaders, investors, startups and government stakeholders converge.
Headquartered in Dubai, Finder Group AI focuses on bridging the gap between promising AI ventures and the resources required to turn innovative ideas into scalable businesses.
The company’s approach extends beyond traditional investment. Its model combines access to capital with operational support, strategic guidance, enterprise introductions and go-to-market assistance for selected AI companies.
For investors, the model is designed to provide curated access to AI ventures with commercially viable business models and long-term growth potential.
Farid Yousefi’s Vision for Finder Group AI
As Founder and CEO, Farid Yousefi brings more than two decades of experience in building business networks and working across technology, investment and digital transformation.
His experience connecting businesses, investors and strategic partners forms an important part of Finder Group AI’s positioning.
Rather than focusing solely on funding, the company aims to participate more actively in the development of its portfolio companies, helping AI-focused startups access strategic relationships, operational expertise and opportunities for expansion.
Responsible AI is also positioned as part of this approach, with an emphasis on incorporating responsible practices during the early stages of company development.
Connecting AI Innovation, Investment and Market Execution
One of the central ideas behind Finder Group AI is the connection between three critical elements: innovation, capital and execution.
Innovative AI startups may have strong technologies but still face challenges in securing investment, entering new markets, establishing enterprise relationships or developing effective growth strategies.
Finder Group AI was created to help address these challenges by supporting selected companies through areas including:
Seed and early-growth investment opportunities
Operational and strategic support
Enterprise and investor introductions
Board-level guidance
Go-to-market strategy
Business development and market expansion
Access to strategic partnerships
This creates an ecosystem in which founders can gain more than financial backing while investors can access selected opportunities within the expanding artificial intelligence sector.
Dubai and the GCC as a Growing AI Hub
The launch also reflects the increasing importance of Dubai and the wider GCC as destinations for artificial intelligence, technology investment and digital transformation.
The region combines investment capital, advanced digital infrastructure, government-led transformation initiatives and growing demand for emerging technologies.
For Finder Group AI, operating from Dubai creates an opportunity to connect international AI innovation with investors, businesses and strategic opportunities across the Middle East.
Farid Yousefi has described the GCC as a major hub for innovation, supported by government policies, investor interest and an entrepreneurial environment increasingly centered on artificial intelligence and advanced technology.
Why GITEX Global 2025 Was an Important Milestone
Launching Finder Group AI during GITEX Global 2025 was a strategic decision.
The event brings together global technology companies, startups, investors, government representatives and industry leaders, making it an important meeting point for the international technology ecosystem.
For Farid Yousefi and Finder Group AI, the event offered an opportunity to introduce the company’s vision, engage directly with investors and founders, establish new relationships and gain insights into emerging market needs.
The launch therefore represented more than the introduction of a new company. It established Finder Group AI’s ambition to become a connector between AI innovation, investment and commercial execution.
