OSINT प्रोफ़ाइल

Egyptian-born, raised in Montréal from the age of seven. Co-founded business-process automation platform Wrk Technologies in September 2019 and ran it as CEO to roughly 110 staff and a nine-figure acquisition agreement with Dubai's AHOY, announced 12 May 2026 from Web Summit Vancouver — the AHOY release names him Chief Strategy Officer in the same breath, and the announcement photograph captions him in that role. Before Wrk he co-founded and led SweetIQ Analytics as CTO then CEO: local-search and multi-location marketing, a $4.2M Series A in 2015, four consecutive years of +300% growth, sold to Gannett (NYSE: GCI, owner of USA TODAY) in April 2017 — a deal named Canadian VC Deal of the Year in 2018. B.Sc. Computer Science and Political Science, Concordia University. Operator-investor: Toric, RenderSEO, 8Twelve Mortgage, M3DG Ventures, Plaza Ventures venture advisor, C100 2022 fellow, Startupfest and Deep Tech Week speaker. CAPITAL, LABELLED: Wrk's tracked funding total is about $43.1M across three rounds (Series A $23.65M and $9.85M debt, both Feb 2022; seed $9.63M 2020) with OMERS Ventures, White Star Capital, Real Ventures, Desjardins, Silicon Valley Bank and angels — aggregated from pitchbook-tracked company data, so LIKELY rather than filed; a Deep Tech Week speaker bio rounds it to '$55M VC-backed'. No Wrk revenue figure is published. Public OSINT only; not investment advice.
