Lebanese automotive marketplace Seez received $1.8 million seed funding from B&Y, Phoenician Funds, and Wamda Capital.
Andrew and Tarek Kabrit founded Seez two years ago with the aim of creating a new type of search engine that allows users to search for cars using image recognition for vehicles. So if you see a car you like in the streets but know 0 things about it, then Seez can help you out! It also includes a contextual location based notifications and an AI chatbot that’s like your personal car buying concierge.
Kabrit said: “We will be pushing hard on AI and chatbots in our app. The funding will go towards enhancing those capabilities by expanding the team in Beirut and Dubai, in addition to develop our marketing scheme.”
