Moroccan Startup ZeroEntropy Secures $4.2M to Advance AI Search
Moroccan founder raises $4.2M for YC-backed AI search startup In the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence, one of the most crucial yet underappreciated components is AI search —the ability for models to retrieve accurate, context-rich information at scale. At the core of this problem is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), a technology that allows AI agents to pull external knowledge in real time. This is exactly the space that ZeroEntropy , a San Francisco-based startup co-founded by Moroccan entrepreneur Ghita Houir Alami, is targeting. Backed by Y Combinator and Initialized Capital, ZeroEntropy has raised $4.2 million in seed funding to power the next generation of intelligent, efficient, and scalable AI search infrastructure. The funding, which also includes backing from a16z Scout, Transpose Platform, and angel investors from OpenAI and Hugging Face, is a major vote of confidence in the team’s unique approach to solving AI’s retrieval bottlenecks.
