ClusterLab, a Tunisia-based AI Firm, Secures $600,000 in Pre-Seed Funding Led by Regional Investors Including Karim Beguir

ClusterLab, known for its Arabic audiobook app Reedz, has raised $600,000 in pre-seed funding, drawing support from notable investors such as Karim Beguir and early backers of InstaDeep.

Founded in Tunisia and operating from the UAE, ClusterLab specializes in AI and NLP technologies.

Their work includes a collaboration with InstaDeep on a national AI project and participation in Nvidia’s Inception Program for AI startups. The new funds will boost their R&D, focusing on developing advanced large language models to improve their products, including Reedz, aiming to make Arabic content more engaging and widely accessible.

“Our expertise in technology goes beyond the current wave of large language models. We’ve been pioneers in utilising NLP to revolutionise content summarization well before it became mainstream.”

 — Haithem Kchaou, Co-Founder and CEO of ClusterLab

“The coming months hold immense potential. We’re eager to showcase the depth of our technological advancements to the public, particularly through the large-scale deployment of our AI solutions.”

— Chehir Dhaouadi, CTO and Co-Founder of ClusterLab
