News & Events

Hi everyone,

I’m Sameer Maskey, founder and CEO of Fusemachines. I’ve spent the last 25 years building AI systems, and for 13 of those years I’ve had the privilege of teaching AI at Columbia University as well. After many years of hard work, resilience, and building side by side with a truly remarkable team, 2025 became a deeply meaningful milestone for us as Fusemachines entered the public market.

I’m here today because I’m incredibly excited to tell you about what Fusemachines is, what we’ve already proven, and, most importantly, what we are about to do in 2026.

Fusemachines is a pure-play AI company, built from the ground up with artificial intelligence at the core of everything we do, alongside a deeply rooted mission to expand access to AI education for underserved communities around the world. Our IP has been built by world class AI PhDs and engineers over the years. It’s technology that delivers measurable ROI for blue chip enterprise clients. We’ve invested years building the foundations: the platform, the products, the talent, the proof points, all while staying true to who we are. We are now ready to scale, deliberately, confidently, and aggressively, through increased sales and marketing investment, strategic partnerships, and selective acquisitions that accelerate our trajectory.

2026 will be a breakout year for us. Today, I want to walk you through our vision, our growth strategy, and some of the milestones we aim to hit. But more than anything, I want you to hear this clearly: we are ready for growth, and we are going to earn it.

At the heart of that growth sits our most important strategic growth pillar: our AI Studio and AI Engines. Our belief has always been simple: enterprises see ROI from AI solutions that are sharply tied to real pain points that are use case specific and industry specific. That thesis has guided everything we’ve built. It’s why we started developing AI Studio years ago: to dramatically speed up how fast we can deliver high value, tailored AI Engines, and we’re already started seeing the results. AI Studio has enabled us to build and deploy engines like fraud detection for Travel Retail and information extraction and analysis for Real Estate. These engines are generating real, validated ROI across enterprises today. In 2026, we’re going to build more, sell more, and expand our footprint.

While we plan to grow substantially, we are committed to building and scaling with intention. We’re not going to scatter our focus across every vertical. We’re going to double down where we can win. That’s why Retail and Real Estate are our two core verticals for 2026. We’ve had significant success there, especially in Retail, and we’re going to capitalize on our case studies, our testimonials, and our momentum.

Now, of course, a great product is only part of the story. Growth comes from being able to sell, deliver undeniable value, retain clients, and expand within those accounts, and we’re aiming to grow through three main avenues:

I want to end with something that matters deeply to me and to Fusemachines. We’ve always believed that building cutting edge AI comes with responsibility. AI is reshaping society, and we feel that weight. Our mission is not just to lead in AI, but to democratize it. To make it accessible, equitable, and safe. We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. That’s why we will continue expanding AI education programs in underserved communities across the U.S. and around the world. From rural America to inner cities to communities globally, access to AI education must become more inclusive. When opportunity is extended, we believe extraordinary things can happen.

That’s why we will set up an AI advisory board not only to drive excellence, but to keep us true to our values. It’s why we will continue to build governance tools for security, bias, and risk, keeping Responsible AI front and center.

So yes, 2026 is about growth, but it’s also about purpose. We have the vision. We have the platform. We have the team. Now it’s time to scale and to show the world what Fusemachines can do.

We will make 2026 our year!

Sincerely,

Sameer Maskey, PhD
