On 12 May 2026, at Web Summit Vancouver, AHOY announced Montréal as its North American headquarters, an agreement to acquire Montréal automation platform Wrk Technologies in a nine-figure deal, a Mila (Quebec AI institute) partnership and funding for what it calls Canada's first Physical AI Lab; on 8 July 2026 at Startupfest on Montréal's Grand Quai the company restated the plan as its primary R&D hub with 200 direct hires plus ~300 ecosystem jobs (BetaKit, The Logic). ALSO A CAPITAL ALLOCATOR: founding partner of Actual VC and a founding board member of the 24SIX9 founder community. Engineer by training — B.Eng. Urban & Regional Planning, University of Dammam (now Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University), with a GIS and remote-sensing orientation; listed on a Saudi '30 under 30' feature in January 2016 and says he sold a first company at 16. NUMBERS, LABELLED: '$100M+ ARR, profitable, 330x growth' is a company-issued paid press release (PRNewswire via Yahoo Finance, 16 Apr 2026) — treat as CLAIMED, not audited.
