Egypt’s BrainsMingle, an AI-driven, video-first professional network designed to prioritise authentic human connection, has raised US$400,000 in seed funding.
Founded by Belal Amin and Yousef Gamal, BrainsMingle allows experts deliver live sessions, build thriving communities, manage bookings, and earn from their expertise while ambitious professionals discover world-class knowledge, engage with experts across the globe, and connect with the peers who will shape their careers. BrainsMingle, which has already attracted professionals and communities from more than 90 countries, has announced a US$400,000 strategic seed investment from BasharSoft Group, Egypt’s leading human capital technology group, which operates WUZZUF and Forasna.
This partnership represents BasharSoft’s first strategic investment since its acquisition of iCareer last year. BasharSoft Group, which serves over 9 million users through its flagship platforms WUZZUF and Forasna, as well as iCareer and Recruitera, is betting on BrainsMingle to lead the next generation of professional engagement and knowledge-sharing technologies.
“We built BrainsMingle around one belief: the most valuable professional moments happen between people, not between people and content. The world does not need another feed to scroll or another profile to maintain. It needs a home, a single place where an ambitious professional can show up, share what they know, and build a community around it,” Amin said. “BrainsMingle was never built for one country or one region. It was built for every professional on the planet who has real expertise to share and no single place worthy of it. BasharSoft’s investment is a powerful validation of that vision and a commitment to building it the right way.”
Ameer Sherif, executive chairman of BasharSoft, said his company has been connecting talent to opportunity for 15 years. “We identified a significant gap in how knowledge and experience are shared online. BrainsMingle has built the technology necessary to fill this gap, replacing multiple global tools with a single, sophisticated network that resonates with our mission to empower 50 million people in their careers by 2030,” he said.
