GateOfAI is a bilingual platform and talent network designed to bridge the gap between technical AI builders and real-world commercial demand. The Problem: Traditional freelance platforms are saturated with noise, making it difficult for enterprise clients to identify engineers capable of shipping production-grade agentic workflows, RAG systems, and custom automation. Concurrently, developers lack structured distribution to monetize ready-made AI tools and micro-SaaS. What We Do: 1. Tool Monetization: Empower engineers to publish and sell AI workflows, APIs, and tools directly via subscription models. 2. Verified Enterprise Matching: Connect vetted builders to bespoke business contracts and custom client pipelines. 3. Automated Evaluation: Streamline onboarding through focused, on-demand technical AI screening to eliminate recruiter friction. We operate globally with a remote-first team, supporting both English and Arabic AI development ecosystems.

Nabta Health (nabtahealth.com) discovers new ways for women to prevent, identify and manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The growing epidemic of NCDs threatens the ambition of countries around the world to achieve sustainable, universal access to health and universal health coverage for their populations. NCDs also leave populations more susceptible to communicable diseases such as COVID-19. Moreover, NCDs remain underesearched and underserved in women. Until the mid-1990s, clinical research and clinical trials largely excluded women. Today, women using drugs that were approved pre-1994, are 50–75% more likely than men to suffer adverse reactions to those therapies. Ironically, a significant proportion of the drugs in this category are those designed to treat or manage NCDs. Examples include statins and potassium channel-blockers used to manage cardiovascular disease or hypoglycaemic drugs such as Rezulin used to control diabetes. Standardising and personalising the ways in which women identify and manage NCDs in the context of their own lifestyles and health goals, and through the use of applied machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, will improve clinical outcomes and make cutting-edge healthcare affordable and accessible for all women. Nabta’s unique model of hybrid healthcare seamlessly combines digital health with traditional healthcare to improve health outcomes in women living with NCDs. Nabta’s first hybrid care pathway supports women in preventing, identifying and managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormonal disorder responsible for 70% of female fertility issues. Women who use Nabta’s platform will be able to obtain a formal diagnosis of PCOS within 90 days versus the global average of 2.5 years.
