Investors from Central Eurasia have invested in the American AI startup Vectorial AI

Silkroad Angels — an investment community from Central Eurasia — has announced an investment in Vectorial AI, an American B2B AI startup developing a platform for simulating user behavior. The deal serves as further evidence that capital from Central Asia is increasingly participating in the global venture market alongside Silicon Valley players.

What Vectorial AI Does

Vectorial AI helps companies test products, interfaces, design, and marketing materials using virtual users — AI agents called SAPIENS, trained on real behavioral data.

The key advantage: what previously required two weeks of work and a significant budget now takes just 20 minutes and costs ten times less than traditional user research.

According to the company, its proprietary Sapiens 1.0 model achieves 84% accuracy in predicting user reactions. For comparison: its closest competitor, Be.FM, scores 71%, while Claude Sonnet and GPT-5 models achieve 56% and 54%, respectively.

Vectorial AI already has paying customers. Co-investors include Berkeley SkyDeck, the accelerator of the University of California, Berkeley. Academic partners of the project are research labs from Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University.

The Team

The startup was founded by specialists with experience at leading global universities and technology companies:
— Taranvir Singh, CEO/CTO — expert in behavioral modeling, graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, CMU
— Jasmin Kaur, COO — previously led strategy and analytics for AI initiatives at Pfizer, graduate of Stanford Graduate School of Business
— Rahul Garg, CPO — product launch and user systems specialist with deep expertise in consumer behavior.

Why This Matters for Central Eurasia

The deal reflects an intensifying trend: investors from Central Eurasia are increasingly entering the international venture market and participating in co-investments with American funds, gaining early access to promising AI companies.

AI has accelerated development by 10x. But the feedback loop with users remains broken: understanding your customer still means weeks of interviews, focus groups, and limited samples. Vectorial AI replaces this with simulation of real behavior — it’s fast, scalable, and free from recruitment bias.
