D14.AI

What D14.AI does

D14.AI is a privately held AI consultancy headquartered in Dubai Media City (with a secondary office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) that delivers custom AI implementations focused on scheduling and business-efficiency optimization for enterprise clients. Engagements span four verticals — delivery/logistics, financial services, healthcare, and government — and include a named deployment for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Underlying work is described as proprietary AI and unique optimization strategies applied to complex efficiency problems, with no published models, patents, or APIs disclosed.

The firm's commercial model combines professional-services revenue (custom AI implementations plus AI and Innovation consultancy engagements) with subscription and cohort-based revenue through its Sirius Labs sub-brand. Sirius Labs operates cohort-driven training and community programs targeting women in technology, including the AI & Innovation Leadership Program (now launching Cohort 7 in September 2025), AI Training for Non-Technical Women, a Tech Entrepreneurship Program, the Sirius Youth Academy for higher-education students, and Sirius Connect, a subscription-based networking platform.

Founder Melda Akin — a computer scientist and serial tech entrepreneur — drives the firm's go-to-market through media visibility (Microsoft, CNN, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Gulf Business), speaking engagements (including WebSummit main stage), and awards positioning (Forbes Top 10 Women Behind Middle Eastern Tech Brands in 2021, 2022, and 2023; Aviram Awards 2023 finalist). The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional funding rounds or external investors in the source data.
