🚀 BrainsMingle closes a $400K seed round from BasharSoft — built on a simple but powerful idea. BrainsMingle, a video-based professional networking platform, announced today the close of its seed funding round of $400,000 led by BasharSoft. Why this investment stands out: ↳BasharSoft first strategic investment since acquiring iCareer last year ↳ BasharSoft serves 9M+ users across its platforms (WUZZUF, Forasna, iCareer, Recruitera) ↳ BrainsMingle already has experts and communities across 90+ countries The problem it solves: Today's professionals juggle separate tools for booking sessions, managing payments, and building their communities — while those seeking growth navigate multiple platforms to find experts, join communities, and access learning opportunities. The result is a fragmented experience on both sides. BrainsMingle consolidates all of it into one AI-powered, video-first professional network: live sessions, bookings, payments, and community building. What stood out to me: The platform also serves institutions — universities, companies, accelerators — offering white-labeled instances while letting organizations retain full data ownership. Belal Amin, Co-Founder & CEO, captured the thesis well: "The most valuable professional moments happen between people, not between people and content." Amir Sherif of Brimstone connected it to a bigger mission: empowering 50 million people in their careers by 2030. Do you think direct human-to-human professional networking (not content feeds) is the future of professional platforms? 👇 #BrainsMingle #Brimstone #Startups #SeedFunding #ProfessionalNetworking #Egypt #AI #MENA
