TechPreneur Secures Equity Investment for Noor Through QDB Pre-Accelerator

After successfully completing the Qatar Development Bank (QDB) Pre-Accelerator Program 2025, TechPreneur has secured equity investment to support the next stage of growth for Noor, our Arabic-first AI platform built to transform learning and teaching.

While the investment marks an exciting achievement, the greatest value came from the journey itself. The programme challenged us to sharpen our vision, validate our product, and stay focused on solving meaningful problems for educators and learners through practical AI.

Lessons That Will Shape Noor's Future

Every stage of the accelerator reinforced principles that continue to guide how we build Noor.

Listen first, then build.
By holding weekly sessions with users and releasing frequent product improvements, we ensured every new feature responded to genuine classroom needs rather than assumptions.

Demonstrate value early.
A focused six-week pilot allowed us to validate Noor in real educational environments and measure its impact from the outset.

Keep AI accessible and responsible.
From the beginning, our goal has been to make AI available to everyone. Individuals can access Noor's core capabilities free of charge, while educational institutions unlock additional privacy, governance, and analytics features that support learning at scale.

A Collective Achievement

This milestone would not have been possible without the support of the incredible people who contributed throughout the programme.

We're grateful to our coaches, Ammar Hammoudeh, Rabia Ahmad Mughal, and Sophie Besitka, whose guidance helped strengthen both our product and our strategy.

We also extend our thanks to our dedicated team and partners, including Eng. Rwdah Al-Subaiey, Reem Muhammed Hashir, Rym Ameuri, and Arijit Biswas, whose expertise and commitment continue to drive Noor forward.

Finally, we'd like to thank Qatar Development Bank for creating programmes that help innovative startups transform ambitious ideas into scalable businesses.

Looking Ahead

This investment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Noor.

Our focus now is on expanding pilot programmes, building new partnerships, and continuing to develop an AI platform that speaks our language, respects privacy, and empowers learners and educators across Qatar and beyond.

If you're a school, university, or organization interested in shaping the future of AI-powered education, we'd love to hear from you.
