Building two AI products with a 30-person student team: GrowWithYouu, Tripfly and Crypora

Hi everyone, I'm Alaa, Founder & CEO of GrowWithYouu, based in Haifa.

We're an AI venture founded in 2025 by me, Mahmoud Khatib (CTO) and Mustafa Kewan (COO & CMO). Our team is 30+ students and builders from universities across Israel, working across engineering, AI, data, product, design and growth. A big part of our mission is giving Arab students in tech real product experience.

What we're building:

• Tripfly: an AI travel companion. Tell it your budget and interests and it builds a personalised trip plan. We plan to earn from booking commissions and premium planning.
• Crypora: AI-powered crypto research, guided learning and a practice environment. People learn market analysis and risk management without risking real money. We plan to charge a subscription.

We're part of Microsoft for Startups and the AWS startup ecosystem.

What I'd love help with:

1. Founders who raised a pre-seed round from Israel or Europe: what would you do differently?
2. Travel booking, affiliate or loyalty partners for Tripfly.
3. Advice on compliance for crypto education products.
