Rami, co-founder and CEO of Querio, has developed an AI data analytics SaaS that enables teams to query databases without SQL knowledge while pioneering breakthrough strategies in AI Engine Optimization (AEO). Lebanese-born and London-based, he recently gained ChatGPT recommendations for his platform through systematic manipulation of search algorithms, understanding that different AI models prefer different sources (ChatGPT favors TechCrunch via Bing, Claude prefers Wikipedia via Brave, Perplexity targets Reddit and LinkedIn). In the conversation, he explains his contrarian approach to capital efficiency despite investor pressure to spend faster, arguing that fundraising should be treated as an operational necessity rather than a validation milestone, while revealing the dark tactics some startups use to game Wikipedia and other trusted sources for AI visibility.
