What 1001 does
1001 builds an AI platform that plugs into operators' existing systems and keeps a live model of their assets, processes and dependencies. It flags problems before they happen and recommends or carries out fixes. It targets aviation, ports and logistics, energy, construction and manufacturing, with a focus on Gulf operators keeping local ownership of their AI systems. Former Scale AI director Bilal Abu-Ghazaleh founded it in 2025, and it raised a $9M seed in October 2025.
