SUMMARY

Gaia has raised $1.5 million in pre-seed funding in a round led by SEEDRA Ventures.
Gaia helps businesses search and use information stored across emails, files, CRM and ERP systems.
Founded in 2026 by Badr Al Malluh and Mohammad Rababah, Gaia is focused on secure AI solutions for businesses.

The startup is developing a sovereign AI platform that helps organizations search and work with their internal data while keeping sensitive information within their own environment.

Gaia plans to use the funding to develop its platform further and expand its AI solutions for enterprise customers.

Most companies store their information across different tools such as email, files, CRM and ERP systems. Finding the right information can take time and often requires employees to search through several platforms. This can lead to delays, repeated work, and difficulties in keeping track of important business knowledge. Data security is another concern for companies considering AI tools.

Gaia brings this information together through a single AI platform. Its enterprise search feature lets employees find information across connected systems and shows the original file, message, or record behind each answer.

The platform also includes an AI assistant that uses company data to provide relevant answers with links to the sources. Its AI agents can handle tasks across different applications, including preparing reports and summaries and automating regular workflows.

“Enterprise knowledge is often fragmented across systems, emails, documents, and teams, limiting an organisation's ability to operate effectively. Gaia transforms that knowledge into actionable intelligence, enabling enterprises to make faster better decisions, improve productivity, and automate work securely without the fear of data ever leaving the organisation."
