The Middle East’s first sovereign regulatory compliance platform, Qadi, on Monday shed its stealth mode to announce its pre-seed funding round led by Incubayt.

​The funding figures have not yet been shared publicly.

​The platform will harness local laws, regulations, and policies into AI-driven agents that deliver instant compliance decisions.

“We aren’t just building a copilot; we’re building the engine for compliance automation. By bridging the gap between strategic legal advisory and AI, Qadi is positioning itself as the backbone of the next generation of legal services in the region,” said Mohamad El Charif, founder, Qadi.

Qadi aims to provide the region with a regulatory platform that legal and compliance teams can trust, protecting the confidentiality of institutional data and policies.

“Around the world, regulatory AI is moving from experiments to core infrastructure, but in this region, it has to be sovereign and deeply tuned to local rules,” said Sami Khoreibi, investor and founder, Incubayt.  

Notably, it’s one set of agents that can handle first-pass contract reviews such as NDAs, MSAs, compliance checks, routing for approvals, and notifying sales when deals are ready. While another can monitor media assets for adherence to regional financial promotion and advertising rules.

With the capital inflow, Qadi plans to expand its team of AI and Legal Engineers and support the rollout of its platform to select law firms and financial institutions across the GCC.
