MilkStraw AI secured $2 million in a seed round led by VentureSouq.

Funds will accelerate product development and introduce new features like The Feed and Right Sizing.

The young startup focuses on simplifying cloud optimisation with innovative AI tools.

It aims to expand across the Middle East and North Africa before going global.

Competition is tough, but they're determined to become a well-known name in the industry.

MilkStraw AI, a young Emirati startup working on artificial intelligence tools to manage cloud infrastructure, has just wrapped up a 2 million dollar seed round. The investment was led by VentureSouq, with Ibtikar Fund and M Capital also jumping in. It’s the kind of move that tends to turn heads in the region, especially as AI-driven cloud optimisation is becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity for tech teams drowning in rising cloud bills.

From what’s been shared publicly, the company plans to channel this fresh capital into speeding up product development and scaling its operations. And believe it or not, they’re already lining up several new features — including something called The Feed, a Right Sizing service, and an interactive AI layer that lets users manage cloud infrastructure simply by typing commands. I reckon this text‑based control could be a bit of a game-changer for engineers who feel that navigating cloud dashboards is, well… a bit of a faff.

The startup is only about 16 months old, but it’s been moving quickly. It previously secured around 600,000 dollars in funding and has positioned itself as a company trying to simplify the messy world of cloud optimisation. I remember meeting a small dev team at a community event Arageek helped organise last year — they were tearing their hair out over scaling costs, and tools like this would’ve had them chuffed to bits. That said, competition in cloud management is fierce, and on the flip side, not every enterprise is ready to hand the reins to AI just yet.

With the backing of VentureSouq and its strategic partners, MilkStraw AI is now eyeing a stronger footprint across the Middle East and North Africa, with plans to take its products global afterwards. If they manage to keep this pace, they might be one of those names we hear about more often — assuming, of course, they navigate the usual growing pains that every ambitious startup faces along the way. It’s definately one to watch.
