Think raises over $8 million for AI infrastructure funding
Saudi Arabia-based AI infrastructure company Think has secured over $8 million in pre-seed funding. The round was co-led by RAED Ventures and Wa'ed Ventures.
Think, a Saudi Arabian company focused on AI infrastructure, announced it has raised over $8 million in pre-seed funding. This funding marks the largest pre-seed round for AI infrastructure and deep technology in the MENA region to date. The round was co-led by RAED Ventures and Wa'ed Ventures, with participation from Dhahran Techno Valley and strategic angel investors.
The capital will be used to expand the company's team, scale up manufacturing, advance product development, and pursue international growth initiatives. Think aims to reduce the cost and complexity of AI adoption by providing an integrated hardware and software platform designed for greater efficiency and security.
Think's technology combines high-density, liquid-cooled multi-GPU compute nodes with proprietary orchestration software. In benchmark testing, the platform reportedly achieved over 90% GPU utilization, significantly higher than industry averages, and substantially lowers the cost per token for AI model deployment.
Founded by Ahmed AlSharif, formerly of Meta and Sony PlayStation, and Ammar Enaya, with experience at Cisco and HPE, Think aims to offer an alternative to the trend of simply building larger and more expensive AI models by focusing on infrastructure efficiency.
The funding arrives as organizations globally seek alternatives to traditional AI deployment models amid rising GPU costs, data sovereignty concerns, and pressure to improve both the economics and environmental impact of AI.
