Think Raises $8 Million in MENA's Largest AI Infrastructure Pre-Seed Round
Think, a Saudi AI infrastructure company, has raised more than $8 million in pre-seed funding, announced in a press release. The round is co-led by Raed Ventures and Wa'ed Ventures, with participation from Dhahran Techno Valley’s venture capital arm and several angel investors. It marks the largest pre-seed round for an AI infrastructure and deep technology company in the MENA region.
The funding will support team expansion, manufacturing scale-up, product development, and global growth initiatives. Think is developing integrated hardware and software tools for artificial intelligence designed to reduce cost and complexity while improving efficiency. Its platform combines high-density liquid-cooled multi-GPU compute nodes with proprietary orchestration software to optimise GPU utilisation and lower token costs.
Founded by Ahmed AlSharif and Ammar Enaya, Think’s technology aims to help organisations deploy AI models more securely and affordably using existing GPUs. The company reported benchmark GPU utilisation levels above 90 percent, significantly higher than industry averages. Think plans to expand across the GCC within 18 months and further develop its orchestration software, supporting Saudi Arabia’s national ambitions to build a strong AI infrastructure sector.
