The company, founded by industry veterans Ahmed AlSharif and Ammar Enaya, aims to solve the inefficiencies currently plaguing AI adoption. By combining high-density, liquid-cooled multi-GPU nodes with a proprietary software layer known as ILM, Think enables organizations to bypass the reliance on expensive, hyperscale cloud providers. Internal testing suggests the platform achieves over 90% GPU utilization—significantly higher than the industry standard of 30–50%—while reducing token costs by nearly 10 times compared to major frontier models.
Saudi AI Infrastructure Startup Think Secures $8 Million Pre-Seed
Riyadh-based Think has closed an $8 million pre-seed round, the largest of its kind for an AI infrastructure firm in the MENA region. Co-led by RAED Ventures and Wa'ed Ventures, the capital will fuel the deployment of the company’s integrated hardware and orchestration platform designed to slash AI operational costs.
With Saudi Arabia positioning itself as a central hub for deep-tech, Think is moving to scale its operations across the GCC over the next 18 months. The funding round included participation from the Dhahran Techno Valley venture arm, signaling strong institutional support for the firm’s mission to provide sovereign, secure, and cost-effective AI infrastructure that allows enterprises to retain full control over their data and compute resources.
