Dubai-based startup eVoost AI has raised $2.2 million in a new funding round to support further development and international expansion.
The company intends to allocate the investment to scaling business operations, entering new markets and enhancing its AI-based products for enterprises. The investment round demonstrates investors' confidence in the success of new automation platforms developed in the Middle East.
Cristian Pastrana, co-founder and CEO of eVoost AI, explained, “This round allows us to accelerate the construction of an intelligent operating system for residential commercialization. Our goal is to transform a traditionally fragmented and analogue sector into one governed by data, AI and automation.”
Manu Nieto, co-founder of First Drop VC, further explained that the investment highlights the growing interest in addressing inefficiencies through technology-driven solutions. “At First Drop, we believe access to housing is one of the major global challenges. Many developers still build without truly understanding their end customer. eVoost’s technology identifies demand and optimizes sales even before construction begins.”
The expansion strategy also includes strengthening customer acquisition channels and building a stronger global brand presence. The funding round highlights the increasing momentum for AI startups in the UAE and the wider Middle East. Governments and private investors are actively backing innovation in artificial intelligence.
Experts suggest that the enterprise AI segment is among the most promising, given the productivity and cost-effectiveness it directly generates.
As eVoost AI develops further, it will have to compete not only with local rivals but also with other global players that offer automation solutions. Nevertheless, eVoost's unique approach to customization and region-specific products may give it an advantage over competitors.
