Sinai.ai Raises $1.45M Pre-Seed to Transform Reading

The company plans to use the funds to support its technology, AI infrastructure, user growth, and licensing efforts.

The $150 billion global book market has seen little change in format for many years, and Sinai was created to bring innovation to this space.

At the core of the platform is the aiBook™, a new format built on fully licensed content. It lets readers interact with books in real time, create study guides and quizzes, access content in multiple languages, and switch between reading and listening. Sinai is launching with thousands of titles and has already partnered with several well-known publishers.

"We strongly believe that AI will fundamentally reshape a wide range of industries, and the book industry is long overdue for meaningful innovation. For over two decades, the core format of books has remained largely unchanged. What the Sinai.ai team is building introduces a truly new paradigm — transforming books into interactive, intelligent experiences where readers can engage, learn, and explore in entirely new ways. We are particularly excited about the team and their ability to execute on a vision that sits at the intersection of content, technology, and user experience. We are always proud to back Egyptian founders who are building category-defining companies and pushing the boundaries of innovation beyond local markets," said Mohamed El Sayed Okasha, DisrupTech Ventures.

"Tambi Jalouqa, Maza Ventures said, "What drew me to Sinai.ai is that they're approaching a huge, old industry with respect and clarity. Publishing has been around for centuries, and for good reason, but much of how it operates hasn't evolved at the pace of technology. Instead of trying to break it Sinai.ai is working alongside it, using AI to modernize how books are created, produced, and distributed. That's a harder path. It requires understanding the incentives of everyone involved and building something that fits into a real ecosystem, not just replacing it. But its also the more enduring one. The companies that last are often the ones that reshape industries from within and Sinai.ai feels like it's doing exactly that."
