The co-founders of this startup, which was founded in Germany in 2023, include 24-year-old Kazakh Arkady Telegin, as well as Canadian Kevin Wu and Australian Shrey Bhatia.
The seed investment round was closed in just three days. Among the first investors is Y Combinator founder Paul Graham. The lead investor in the round was Nexus Ventures. This fund invests in early-stage startups in artificial intelligence, SaaS and B2B technologies.
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:
“Our goal is to make artificial intelligence a more reliable and flexible technology. Then it will be able to be used in various industries and business scenarios.”
The company will hire 5 new specialists and expand its presence in the US and European markets thanks to the investment raised.
