Gaia raises $1.5m pre-seed to build sovereign enterprise AI

AI grounded in company knowledge and permissions

Gaia connects enterprise files, email, knowledge and business systems into a search and assistant layer that respects existing access permissions. Employees can get grounded answers with sources, while workflow agents can carry out tasks across systems; high-risk actions require human approval.

Seedra Ventures led the $1.5 million pre-seed round. Gaia will use the funding to continue platform development and work with Saudi enterprises adopting AI, where keeping data and control within the organisation is central to deployment.
