Kazakh investor Nurdaolet Bazilbekov, founder of Eurasian Hub Ventures, also invested in the startup. This London-based venture hub brings together Eurasian investors and entrepreneurs to support technology startups.
Leaping AI co-founder Arkady Telegin said that the company plans to reach $3 million in annual revenue by the end of 2025, close a Series A round, and increase the flexibility of artificial intelligence technology:
