The Tunisia-born, but now UAE-headquartered AI startup ClusterLab, which is the company behind the Arabic audiobook summarisation app Reedz, has raised US$600,000 in pre-seed funding to boost its research and development efforts.
Founded in Tunisia in 2020 by Haithem Kchaou and Chehir Dhaouadi, ClusterLab provides AI and natural language processing (NLP) technologies, and has developed Reedz, which leverages AI to easily translate more than 80 of the world’s languages.
Hailing from Tunisia with headquarters in the UAE, the startup has secured US$600,000 in pre-seed funding from prominent investors, including Karim Beguir, early backers of InstaDeep, and regional angel investors. The new infusion of funding will propel Clusterlab’s research and development efforts.
“Our expertise in technology goes beyond the current wave of large language models,” said Haithem Kchaou, co-founder and CEO of ClusterLab. “We’ve been pioneers in utilising NLP to revolutionise content summarization well before it became mainstream.”
