1001 (also known as 1001 AI) is a deeptech artificial intelligence company founded in 2025 by Bilal Abu-Ghazaleh, a former director of generative AI operations at Scale AI, and headquartered between London and Dubai. The company builds sovereign AI operating systems for critical infrastructure — live operational models that help operators across aviation and airports, ports and logistics, energy and grids, construction, and manufacturing predict issues, automate and optimize decisions, and improve operational efficiency, while retaining full local ownership and governance of their AI systems. Focused primarily on the GCC and wider MENA region, 1001 raised a $9 million seed round in October 2025 led by CIV, General Catalyst, and Lux Capital, followed by a $30 million Series A in June 2026 led by Lux Capital with Sanabil Investments, 9Yards, and Hanabi joining and existing backers General Catalyst, CIV, and Stanford AI researcher Chris Ré increasing their commitments. As of this profile, 1001 publishes no public API, developer documentation, or SDK; this entry captures the company's public identity and web properties for the API Evangelist network.
