Abelin Eye, A sovereign AI platform built for companies and governments in regulated industries has closed a $3.7 million pre-seed funding round from angel investors.
The funding will be used to accelerate AVELIN’s commercial expansion in the Middle East, Europe, and North America, expand its GPU infrastructure, and further enhance its proprietary Cross-Model Fusion technology.
Founded by Yury Akinin, a PhD and AI entrepreneur, AVELIN combines deep technical expertise with a proven track record of scaling global technology businesses. Prior to joining AVELIN, he co-founded Quantori, a successful life sciences AI company valued at over $100 million, and previously led an engineering organization serving some of the world’s largest companies.
“Businesses and governments are increasingly recognizing that AI cannot come at the expense of security, compliance, and control. The days of renting intelligence from external providers are over. Organizations need AI they can own, control, and trust. AVELIN is building the sovereign AI models and infrastructure that will enable that future.”
– Yuri Akinin, Founder and CEO of AVELIN AI
The increase comes as sovereign AI becomes a strategic priority in the Gulf and globally, driven by tighter regulation and increasing corporate demand to bring AI capabilities in-house.
AVELIN is supported by technology partners including NVIDIA Inception, AWS Activate, and Dubai Future Foundation, as well as programs with Red Hat, DigitalOcean, and OVHcloud.
With the secured funding, AVELIN will focus on converting existing commercial agreements into signed contracts, increasing its presence across the Gulf and expanding into the European and North American markets until the end of 2026. As the company expands its platform and team, it targets regulated enterprises across financial services, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure. AVELIN’s platform is available for evaluation and enterprise demonstration at avelin.ai.
