Nanovate, a Cairo-based startup focused on Arabic-native artificial intelligence, has secured $1 million in pre-seed funding from a group of angel investors to scale its regional presence and deepen product development. Founded by Nancy Madbouly and Ahmed Gamal, the company builds end-to-end AI systems designed to support businesses across 22 Arabic dialects, including advanced chat and voice agents, workflow automation, and customized enterprise applications.
Backed by the MINT Incubator by EG Bank and Raya FutureTECH Accelerator, Nanovate has launched a beta platform that allows organizations to create Arabic AI agents without coding, combining speech, emotion analysis, and language automation. The new capital will drive expansion into Saudi Arabia and the UAE, strengthen integrations with major enterprise software tools, and accelerate AI research as the company positions itself as a leading provider of localized AI infrastructure across the Middle East.
