Dubai, UAE —Composite, a new UAE-based startup, is poised to revolutionize student pathways with an innovative AI-driven platform. It aims to align students’ abilities with the right opportunities. This ambitious venture, rooted in the nation’s commitment to educational and economic advancement, seeks to further improve ties between the education system and the labor market.

A Personal Journey to Innovation

Composite’s vision emerged from the personal experiences of its founder and CEO, Tayseer. During his studies abroad, with a demanding schedule and a lack of information, Tayseer struggled to find a scholarship. Ironically, once he found one, he discovered that many available positions had not been filled.

“I wished there were more tools to find scholarships, but there were no resources on the internet that did that for me,” Tayseer recalls.

This frustration extended beyond scholarships to the broader educational landscape. Tayseer observed, “A lot of processes have been streamlined in industries. You can apply for a job with a single click, so why are pathways to education not as streamlined?”

Determined to address this disparity, Tayseer decided to build a platform that would make finding a program or a scholarship as simple as possible.

A Proven Team

The founding team brings a wealth of experience and expertise. Partner Louis-Clément, known for his background in AI and successful startup ventures like Webotit.ai, has been instrumental in developing the platform’s core technology.

”I am thrilled to leverage the AI products I built in my other ventures for a much bigger goal: helping each student find the best education pathways,” Louis-Clément mentioned.

His proven track record in building and scaling tech solutions adds significant weight to Composite’s mission. Steven, the third partner in this talented triad, further elaborates: “Human capital is at the heart of a nation’s long-term competitive advantage. The UAE is increasingly a hub for global talent, and I’m thrilled to work on such a rewarding topic.”

Proactive Guidance

Composite takes a proactive approach to career readiness. Rather than waiting to course-correct students once they are already navigating the labor market, Composite aims to guide students to the right opportunities from the very start. Ideally, students should face no burden whatsoever. By simply uploading their content—such as test results, videos, and recommendations—students are seamlessly matched with the most suitable university programs and scholarships through the platform’s advanced AI technology.

AI at the Core

At the heart of Composite’s transformative platform is sophisticated AI technology, which offers scalable, personalized career development. By analyzing many variables—from individual skills and interests to market trends—the AI system provides previously unattainable insights through traditional methods.

The startup’s AI capabilities are designed to address the shortcomings of the current system. Currently, 5% to 10% of graduates in the UAE enter the private sector, often due to a lack of early exposure to diverse career options and, subsequently, access to the education system. By delivering targeted guidance early in a student’s educational journey, Composite intends to align educational outcomes with market needs, plugging the leakage of valuable human resources often lost in the inherent inefficiencies of the current system.

A Vision for National Impact

Composite’s mission aligns closely with the UAE’s national economic growth and development vision. The platform aims to support strategic planning and improve alignment between local talent and national goals by providing actionable data and insights to government entities.

“Our goal is to not only impact individual lives but to contribute to the broader economic and educational framework of the UAE,” Tayseer added. “We want our platform to resonate with policymakers and stakeholders.”

Looking Ahead

As the platform prepares for its official launch, industry experts and potential investors are keeping a close eye on this innovative venture. With its ambitious goals and cutting-edge technology, Composite has the potential to redefine student pathways and career development in the UAE and beyond.
