A47 has secured USD 2 million in pre seed funding to accelerate the launch of its AI native news platform. The company aims to change how people discover, verify, and understand information. The platform responds to growing frustration with misinformation, noisy feeds, and shallow headlines. A47 focuses on clarity, accuracy, and relevance.
The funding will support product development and regional expansion. The platform is now available to pilot users in the UAE.
A New Approach to News Consumption
Modern audiences struggle to stay informed. Feeds feel fragmented. Algorithms reward engagement, not truth. A47 takes a different path. The platform delivers structured, fact checked intelligence across key sectors.
Coverage includes:
- Business and finance
- Geopolitics and global affairs
- Technology and innovation
- Sports and culture
Users control how they consume news. They can choose depth, format, and frequency. Some prefer real time alerts. Others want summaries or deep context. A47 adapts to each preference.
How the A47 Platform Works
At its core, A47 combines advanced AI systems with human oversight. The platform ingests data in real time and applies strict verification rules.
The workflow follows five clear steps:
- Discover trending stories by scanning social platforms every 30 minutes
- Verify facts using trusted global outlets and a curated source list
- Enrich content with timelines, background, and source links
- Create stories in text, image, video, or audio formats
- Control quality through human approval before publishing
If the system cannot confirm a story, it does not publish it. This rule protects trust and reduces misinformation.
Built for Publishers and Creators
A47 does not serve readers alone. It also supports digital publishers and independent creators. Many teams want to publish faster without sacrificing voice or standards.
The platform allows users to:
- Upload a style guide or answer a short brand survey
- Build a reusable Brand DNA profile
- Generate content that stays consistent and verified
This approach helps teams scale output while keeping editorial judgment intact.
Leadership Vision and Market Expansion
Shehab Gargash, Chairman and Co Founder of A47, sees the company as long term media infrastructure. He believes technology can strengthen integrity and efficiency in journalism.
Ali Rizvi, CEO and Co Founder, stresses that A47 does not replace editors. The platform supports teams with verified facts and faster workflows.
The USD 2 million round includes institutional and angel investors. Gargash joins as Chairman of the Board. The company plans to expand across the Middle East and into global markets.
Building Trust Through Technology
A47 positions itself as a trusted information layer. It reduces cognitive load. It increases transparency. It helps users stay informed without noise.
With its AI native design and strong verification focus, A47 AI aims to set a new standard for how news is created, consumed, and trusted.
