Algebra AI launches with a $7mln round to bring AI operations to mid-market businesses

Algebra AI has officially launched in Dubai after emerging from stealth with $7 million in seed financing and an initial client roster spanning financial services, food and beverage, distribution and manufacturing. The funding round includes participation from Infinity Constellation, BECO Capital, Silicon Badia and Waseel Investments. The company was founded in partnership with its main investors and is led by co‑founder and CEO Anis Harb, who previously scaled Deliveroo’s Middle East business from launch to over $1 billion in gross transaction value.

“There are more than 30,000 mid‑market businesses in the GCC, but while these businesses that form the backbone of this economy have been told AI is for them, the market has not produced a model that works for how they actually operate,” Harb said.

Algebra AI positions itself to fill a persistent gap in AI adoption: mid‑market firms are too large for off‑the‑shelf tools yet too small to justify the expense and internal teams required to deploy enterprise‑grade systems. The company designs, builds and runs AI‑enabled workflows for businesses as a managed service that incorporates a client’s existing tools, approval logic and operational constraints so solutions fit from day one. Unlike many implementations that end at deployment, Algebra AI keeps the same team that designed and built the system on duty to operate, monitor and improve it over time — an approach the firm describes as owning the outcome without a handover.

“Algebra AI is distinct from a typical SaaS provider. We study how your business works, build AI systems around it, and stay accountable for the outcome. That is a fundamentally different relationship, and it is one the mid‑market has not had access to before,” Harb added.

Francis Pedraza, co‑founder of Infinity Constellation and founder of Invisible Technologies, spoke on behalf of the founding investors, underscoring the practical orientation of Algebra AI’s model. “My teams have spent a decade figuring out what it takes to make AI work inside real businesses - doing the messy work inside the business, not as a demo, but as a system that runs every day,” Pedraza said. “So when Namek from Silicon Badia approached me about partnering with the team at BECO, Waseel Investments and Anis to build a company around this opportunity in the GCC, it immediately resonated. The combination of Anis’s operating experience, the strength of the founding syndicate, the depth of the regional ecosystem, and the scale of the opportunity made it clear that Algebra AI could become the category‑defining company for AI‑powered services in the region.”
