Hello everyone,

I’m Ahmed Askar, a second-time AI startup founder. Building deep-tech startups has given me invaluable experience in navigating the challenges of securing funding and sustaining innovation.

Developing AI-powered solutions requires significant investment in infrastructure, research, and production models—something many startups struggle with in the early stages.

Through my journey, I’ve successfully secured around $50,000 in funding from both NVIDIA and Google for each of my startups. These programs have been instrumental in supporting R&D, computational resources, and scaling production models. If you’re an AI-driven startup, you can also benefit from these incredible opportunities.
