Press release:

Ledgers, a UAE-based AI startup, has raised $250,000 in an angel funding round to accelerate development of its AI-powered operating system designed for founder-led startups.

Founded by F. Josef Obeid, Ledgers is building a decision intelligence layer embedded directly into a company’s daily operations. The platform enables founders to simulate critical business decisions before execution, helping reduce operational risk and capital misallocation.

Rather than relying on static spreadsheets or retrospective reporting, Ledger offers real-time scenario modelling. Founders can simulate hiring plans, pricing changes, cost optimisations, and burn rate adjustments before committing resources. The system then projects potential outcomes, flags runway risks, and identifies operational pressure points early.

With the newly secured funding, Ledgers plans to complete its minimum viable product, strengthen its engineering capabilities, and onboard early adopters across the UAE and wider GCC. Over the longer term, the company aims to expand beyond early-stage startups to serve SMEs and larger enterprises across the region.

In addition to its software platform, Ledgers is building a founder-focused ecosystem designed to connect entrepreneurs and facilitate knowledge sharing around operational decision-making.
