Finder Group AI marked its official launch at GITEX Global 2025 in Dubai, introducing an AI-powered venture-building model designed to connect promising technology companies with investment, strategic expertise and real-world market opportunities.
Founded and led by CEO Farid Yousefi, the Dubai-headquartered company operates around a clear principle: bringing capital, innovation and execution together to help AI-driven ventures move from promising ideas toward scalable businesses.
Under its “by AI for AI” vision, Finder Group AI aims to create an ecosystem where founders, investors, enterprises and strategic partners can collaborate more effectively as artificial intelligence continues to transform industries across the UAE and wider GCC.
A New AI Venture Builder Emerging from Dubai
Finder Group AI has positioned itself as more than a conventional investment company.
Its venture-building approach combines access to funding with operational expertise, strategic guidance, business development and connections to investors and enterprises.
This model addresses a critical challenge within the technology sector: innovative AI companies often require much more than capital to scale successfully.
They need access to markets, experienced advisors, commercial partnerships, enterprise customers and the right networks to transform technology into sustainable businesses.
Finder Group AI is designed to help bridge these gaps.
Connecting Capital, Innovation and Execution
At the core of Finder Group AI’s model are three interconnected elements: capital, innovation and market execution.
The company seeks to identify AI-driven businesses with strong commercial potential and provide them with a broader support ecosystem as they develop.
Support for selected ventures can include:
Seed and early-growth investment opportunities
Operational and strategic support
Enterprise introductions
Investor connections
Board-level strategic guidance
Go-to-market support
Business development
Access to strategic partnerships
Regional and international expansion opportunities
For investors, the model provides curated exposure to selected AI ventures with scalable technologies and resilient business models.
For founders, it creates access to the resources and relationships needed to turn innovation into commercial growth.
Farid Yousefi’s Venture-Building Approach
As Founder and CEO of Finder Group AI, Farid Yousefi brings more than two decades of experience across technology, business development, investment networks and digital transformation.
His approach is centered on building connections between promising AI ventures and the investors, enterprises and strategic partners capable of accelerating their development.
Rather than viewing investment as a purely financial transaction, Finder Group AI takes a more hands-on approach to venture development.
This includes supporting founders through different stages of growth while encouraging responsible AI practices from the early stages of company development.
The objective is to create stronger businesses capable of achieving sustainable growth while generating measurable long-term value for investors and partners.
Supporting Scalable AI-Driven Ventures
Finder Group AI focuses on ventures operating across artificial intelligence, data science and advanced digital transformation.
These technologies are increasingly influencing how organizations operate, how people work and how businesses create value.
However, moving from technological innovation to commercial adoption remains one of the biggest challenges for emerging AI companies.
Finder Group AI’s venture-building strategy seeks to reduce this gap by connecting technology companies with the commercial infrastructure surrounding them.
This includes helping founders develop stronger business models, establish strategic relationships, enter new markets and gain access to organizations capable of adopting their technologies.
The result is an approach built not simply around discovering innovation, but around helping that innovation scale.
Why Dubai and the GCC Matter for AI Growth
Finder Group AI’s decision to establish its headquarters in Dubai reflects the increasing importance of the UAE and wider GCC within the global artificial intelligence landscape.
The region combines significant investment capacity with advanced digital infrastructure, ambitious government transformation strategies and increasing enterprise demand for AI technologies.
Across the GCC, governments and private-sector organizations are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, data infrastructure and digital transformation.
This environment creates opportunities for international technology companies and emerging startups looking for access to capital, customers and strategic partnerships.
From Dubai, Finder Group AI is positioned to connect these regional opportunities with AI ventures from both the Middle East and international markets.
Building an Ecosystem Around AI Investment
A defining aspect of Finder Group AI’s strategy is its emphasis on ecosystem development.
Successful technology companies rarely grow in isolation. They depend on relationships between founders, investors, enterprises, advisors, governments and technology partners.
Finder Group AI aims to operate within this network as a facilitator, helping the right stakeholders connect at the right stage of a venture’s development.
For entrepreneurs, this can mean gaining access to investment and expertise.
For investors, it can provide access to selected AI businesses with commercial growth potential.
For enterprises and strategic partners, it creates opportunities to engage with emerging technologies capable of transforming existing industries.
This ecosystem-based approach supports Finder Group AI’s broader ambition to help convert AI innovation into measurable commercial value.
GITEX Global 2025 as a Strategic Launch Platform
GITEX Global 2025 provided a natural setting for Finder Group AI’s official introduction.
Held annually in Dubai, the technology event brings together global technology companies, startups, investors, government stakeholders and industry leaders.
For Finder Group AI, launching during GITEX created an opportunity to engage directly with the stakeholders shaping the future of artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
It also provided a platform to communicate the company’s role as an enabler and facilitator within the AI investment ecosystem while developing new relationships with founders, investors and potential strategic partners.
The launch represented an important step in establishing Finder Group AI’s presence within Dubai’s rapidly developing technology landscape.
From AI Potential to Sustainable Business Growth
Artificial intelligence continues to create new technologies, products and business models, but commercial success requires more than technical capability.
Companies must identify real market needs, secure appropriate funding, develop effective growth strategies and build relationships with customers and strategic partners.
Finder Group AI’s venture-building model is designed around these requirements.
By combining AI-driven infrastructure with investment, operational expertise and access to established networks, the company aims to help promising ventures navigate the journey from innovation to scalable commercial execution.
This approach reflects a broader vision for Finder Group AI: creating an environment where technology and capital are supported by the expertise and relationships required to generate sustainable growth.
Expanding Dubai’s Role in the Global AI Economy
The emergence of Finder Group AI comes as Dubai continues to strengthen its position as an international center for artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and technology investment.
With global founders increasingly looking toward the GCC for investment and expansion opportunities, Dubai offers a strategic gateway connecting international innovation with regional capital and enterprise demand.
Finder Group AI aims to participate in this evolution by creating stronger connections between the people developing AI technologies and the organizations capable of investing in, adopting and scaling them.
Its launch at GITEX Global 2025 therefore represents not only the introduction of a new AI venture builder, but also another step toward building a more connected AI investment ecosystem from Dubai.
