"We're building AI models on data from the wealthiest 10% of the planet and expecting them to solve problems for the other 90%."
This is Day 7 of Propel Earth's 30-Day Founder Showcase. Laura Visochek and her co-founder Anja are solving with alAI exists because most AI is blind to communities with low smartphone access, especially in high-growth regions like Sub-Saharan Africa.
Why This Matters
For AI to be truly global and equitable, it needs data from the entire globe. Without it, AI will amplify biases, and organizations will completely miss the next billion consumers. alAI provides the ground-truth data needed to build for the world as it is, not just as it appears through a smart device.
Key Facts & Traction
* Deep Founder-Market Experience: Founded by two friends whose partnership was forged over 10+ years of on-the-ground experience in communities like those they serve.
* Actively Building in Public: They are currently in the customer discovery phase, gathering direct market feedback to shape their first datasets.
* Targeting a Critical Data Gap: Focused on providing data from Sub-Saharan Africa, the region poised for the largest population and consumer growth this century.
Mission & Impact
alAI's work directly supports inclusive economic growth and innovation. By ethically sourcing data, they create a win-win: organizations get vital intelligence, and local communities gain a new avenue for economic self-sufficiency.
The Opportunity
alAI is not raising capital. They are looking for something more important right now: their first customer.
They want to partner with people and organizations who buy data—whether for building AI models, market research, or understanding human migration. This is a unique opportunity to co-develop a crucial data product and gain access to a dataset no one else has.
If you buy data, they want to talk to you. Connect with Laura on her profile below: propel.earth/featured-fou...
