'We are giving customers greater simplicity with an enterprise-ready, pre-hardened, and self-configured SaaS solution that removes the burden of managing and maintaining complex backup infrastructure'.

Dubai-Based idea-L® Raises $1M in Oversubscribed Pre-Seed to Launch AI-Powered Cofounder Platform Across the Middle East.
idea-L® , the artificial intelligence (AI) and Web3-powered platform that turns ideas into investor-ready ventures, and potential into progress, announces the close of an oversubscribed $1 million pre-seed round. The round, secured from a wide syndicate of investment angels, encompasses capital injection in the Holding Company and for the idea-L overall Project, as well as valuable 'to be unveiled' partnership contributions. These funds will accelerate technical hiring, prime the launch of the firm's governance token, GovToken, alongside a world-leading DAO-managed deVC Fund™, and expand the i-Luminary™ mentor network. Headquartered in Dubai, idea-L® is strategically positioned at the heart of the Middle East's thriving innovation economy. The region's push to lead in AI, decentralised finance, and entrepreneurship makes it an ideal launchpad for idea-L®'s vision of democratising venture creation. 'We want every would-be founder to carry a supportive, tireless, data-driven co-founder in their pocket,' said Peter Goodwin, CEO and Founder of idea-L®. 'We want to create an experience that costs minutes, not months.' At the centre of idea-L® is the Idea Realisation Platform™ (IRP™), your co-founder in your pocket. It's an AI-powered system that removes the guesswork and gives every founder a path forward. Users can begin with fast-Feasibility™, a rapid validation tool that blends structured datasets with generative AI to provide instant clarity on potential. From there, LIVE-Feasibility™ offers deeper, real-time insight into market conditions, competition, and operational risks, with the option to add human calibration through teamLIVE-Feasibility™, an advanced layer designed for founders preparing to scale or fundraise. Once an idea shows signal, the IRP™ activates full execution mode, charting a personalised roadmap, triggering behavioural nudges, and unlocking access to the IFP™, where funding is proposed, voted, and allocated by GovToken holders. This first round of funding fuels the imminent private beta of idea-L®, anchored in fast-Feasibility™. Additional components, including LIVE-Feasibility™, teamLIVE-Feasibility™, the full IRP™, and the IFP™ funding engine, will roll out progressively by year-end. This staged launch allows idea-L® to deliver immediate value, while continuously evolving the platform through real user feedback. 'We watched brilliant people walk away from great markets because their idea-to-launch costs were too high,' said Goodwin. 'By automating the riskiest slice of the journey, we unlock thousands of experiments that would otherwise die in someone's notebook.' idea-L® leverages best-in-class AI technology, including reasoning-led LLMs in both multi-model and multi-modal contexts, while actively developing proprietary workflows across logical reasoning, probabilistic programming, inference, and evolutionary learning. 'Our aim is to expand applied business theory across product categories, industries, and geographies. Ultimately, we envision large language models making up no more than 20% of our total AI architecture.' said Daniel Muller, speaking on idea-L®'s long-term product vision. A fair-launch sale of GovTokens is set for Q3, 2025. Once live, token holders will exercise quadratic voting over roadmap features, funding allocations, and ecosystem partnerships — effectively turning the user base into the platform's governing body. The same token steers idea-L®'s forthcoming deVC Fund™, an evergreen pool that backs graduates of the IRP™ and aligns incentives between validators, founders, and capital contributors.
