@vanessasierra00 Wtf? Who has wife and kids at 26.

Three bets. Antler network as first buyers, free zone partnerships as warm intro channels into cohort companies every cycle, and the outsource budget that already exists. Gulf founders are already paying agencies that underdeliver. I’m not creating demand, I’m redirecting existing spend at the moment of frustration.

@Nikhill_sood Smart play. What's the distribution unlock you're betting on in the Gulf?

Two years ago I couldn’t afford the team I needed. So I built one out of AI agents. Today, 14 agents run my company. ~$18/day. I’m the first customer of my own product. I’m in Antler MENAP, Dubai, solo. Raising $50K to $250K+ in angels. The pitch ↓

@giladbuilds $18/day runs the agents. It doesn’t close enterprise deals, build the portal, or put a commercial co-founder in the room. Capital buys distribution velocity, not survival

@Nikhill_sood If you can run your co on $18/day why are you wasting time raising capital?

@ADHD_7899 Sure

@Nikhill_sood Can we talk in dm .

@hthieblot I run my company on 14 AI agents at $18/day instead of a 20-person ops team, and I sell that same workforce to other companies on outcome-based contracts.

Describe your product in exactly one sentence. No buzzwords, no fluff, just the core value. If I can’t understand your business in ten seconds, I’m not investing. Hit me & i'll be in your DMs

If this resonates, DM me. I’ll send the deck, the architecture write-up, and a walkthrough of the same agents that helped me build the round. Built in New Delhi. Now scaling from Dubai. Building Solo for now. Nikhil Sood, Kloudedge Apex

I’m raising small on purpose. I want partners, not pressure. $100K from someone who’s closed in the Gulf beats $500K from someone who hasn’t. I’d rather build slowly with the right people than fast with the wrong ones.

hey @Microsoft Hello , My name is Nikhil Sood. I am the Founder of Kloudedge Apex, and I am reaching out through the Antler-Microsoft partnership following my acceptance into Antler’s MENAP Residency Program. I will be direct: we are at one of the most important moments in our company’s short life, and Azure infrastructure continuity sits right at the center of it. ───────────────────────────── WHAT WE’VE BUILT ───────────────────────────── With $50,000 in founder capital and Azure as our entire infrastructure backbone, we have deployed 14 AI agents running enterprise operations across sales, engineering, DevOps, content, and client management live, in production, for paying customers including Hamad Medical Corporation (Qatar), a Fortune 500 credit agency, and a fintech firm. Our pipeline stands at $2.7M. Every single one of those agents lives on Azure. This is not a vendor relationship of convenience it is the architectural foundation of everything we do. ───────────────────────────── WHERE WE ARE NOW ───────────────────────────── We have exhausted our Azure credits building and running this system. Our subscriptions are currently disabled: • 4edcfd06-752d-47ca-abf9-ad35a1f1e706 • 3171575e-f164-425c-9ee0-2fb10cf93884 Simultaneously, we have just been accepted into Antler’s MENAP residency and are in the final stretch of closing our seed round. The timing could not be more consequential or more fragile. ───────────────────────────── WHAT I AM ASKING ───────────────────────────── I am asking Microsoft to extend or upgrade our Azure credits — whether through the Founders Hub program, the Antler partnership pathway, or any other mechanism available. Scaling from 14 agents to hundreds,  and from one client to many, demands infrastructure that is already proven and ready. That infrastructure is Azure. I am not asking you to bet on a concept. I am asking you to help sustain something that is already working, already generating revenue, and already about to grow significantly. If it would help, I am happy to share our deck, our Antler acceptance details, client references, or anything else that supports a formal review. A short call works too I will make myself available whenever suits you. I genuinely hope Microsoft will choose to be part of this chapter. We would be proud to be a success story worth telling. Thank you for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Nikhil Sood Founder & CEO, Kloudedge Apex
