Thinking Ahead. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions for Mining
ProduktZero invest in JEBI.ai
The genesis of the idea of JEBI.ai was conceived when the founder, Mauricio Mesones, after working for over a decade in technology, realized that the mining industry, despite all the improvements through automation, still had many unmet needs which could be addressed through technology. After an initial research period involving leading companies in the mining sector, mainly in Peru, he identified the industry’s top needs and decided to focus on building advanced technological solutions for them.
We are proud to announce that our initial vision has been ratified by a group of industry-recognized investors, led by New York’s strategy consulting firm ProduktZero, resulting in an initial seed funding round. These funds will fuel JEBI’s initial scaling efforts, including developing local talent while having the chance to get guidance from a global group of tech leaders who know the technology development landscape in critical global markets.
The proceeds of this seed round will be used for:
1) Accelerate the development of our current portfolio of solutions.
2) Growing a local team focused on the needs of Peru’s mining industry.
3) Higher investment in R&D
4) Acquisition of more robust hardware for the development of AI technologies.
We’re also excited to share that JEBI has moved into a new office space in Lima, Peru, and we are currently hiring. We’re eager to make the space our own and feel that it is well-aligned with our expected growth in the coming months.
We thank our seed investors, ProduktZero, for the trust and the partnership, and we look forward to building a better and stronger JEBI together with them!
