Hi all — I’m building an AI-powered beauty tech startup based in Dubai currently mid-way through raising a seed round.

I’d love to connect with other female founders here who’ve been through pre-seed or seed fundraising in the UAE — especially anyone who can share:

**•**	How you found and approached investors locally (vs. going the US/international route)  
**•**	What surprised you about the UAE funding landscape once you were actually in it  
**•**	Any founder communities or groups here worth joining

I’m in the process of creating an MVP that can help people to select products that match their skin tone and offer other recommendations that enhance their looks. This recommendation will be done by rendering makeup products on in real time through live camera.
