Prescite announces its first AI fund investments

 PreSight has announced the first six artificial intelligence (AI) companies selected to receive investment support within its AI Innovation Ecosystem, a move that will accelerate the development of next-generation intelligent systems for governments and enterprises. According to a press release issued Tuesday, these investments are part of the $100 million PreSight-Shurooq I Fund, a global fund that invests in early-stage companies and was launched in partnership with Shurooq.

Five of the companies are based in the United States and the United Arab Emirates, and their portfolio includes sovereign AI infrastructure, AI solution platforms specializing in capital markets, financial services, and industry, and native edge AI systems. These companies reflect PreSight’s focus on identifying and supporting applied intelligence systems that can be integrated into complex and regulated operating environments, where reliability, flexibility, and governance are key elements.

Investments in world model engineering include AMI – Advanced Machine Intelligence, which contributes to the development of world model-based AI structures designed to help machines understand and interact with the physical world, enabling deeper levels of reasoning, planning, and interaction in the real world, going beyond traditional predictive AI structures. Founded by Yann Lucan, a Turing Award winner and former chief AI scientist at Meta, AMI is developing a new class of AI systems that learn from spatial and real-world data to model cause-and-effect relationships.

The company is headquartered in Paris, with offices in New York, Montreal, and Singapore. Its initial focus is on enterprise applications in the manufacturing, aviation, robotics, and biomedical industries. In the area of ​​sovereign AI infrastructure, NodeShift provides enterprises with a secure, local AI platform, enabling users to deploy and utilize AI models while keeping all data within their own infrastructure.

NodeShift participated in the first cohort of PreSight's AI Accelerator Program and has now entered into a strategic commercial agreement with PreSight to scale its solutions and pursue joint initiatives to bring them to market, reflecting the continued collaboration between PreSight and the startups participating in the program.

Investments in specialized AI for the capital and industry sector include Hebbia, which is working to enhance institutional research and financial workflows in regulated capital markets; Candid Intelligence, which is applying AI capabilities to improve procurement and tendering processes in the infrastructure and public sectors; and Crunched, which is transforming complex corporate and market data into faster models, deeper insights, and decision-ready analytics for investors and operators through its advanced AI-powered financial intelligence platform.
