Venture history
Bare AI and action.it
From enterprise co-founder to dataless AI pioneer. Two companies. One through-line: intelligence that enterprises can run without inheriting a data estate they never wanted. Bare AI is current. action.it is a prior exit — not a synonym for Bare AI.
Current enterprise
Bare AI
Founded and operated solely by Yazan Barakat, Bare AI builds next-generation privacy-first infrastructure. The platform is engineered around absolute zero-data-retention constraints, ensuring that intelligence processing leaves no persistent digital exhaust.
- Role
- Founder and sole operator
- Problem
- Meeting and enterprise AI vendors store the artifact, then promise to protect it.
- Architecture
- Zero-data-retention processing windows. No durable transcript, index, or exhaust.
- Outcome
- Privacy-first infrastructure that cannot leak what it is structurally forbidden to keep.
Previous exit
action.it
Co-founded with a former partner, action.it was built as a high-performance enterprise meeting intelligence platform. Yazan Barakat served as co-founder and CTO, overseeing the technical architecture and scaling of the platform before executing a successful company exit.
- Role
- Co-founder and CTO
- Problem
- Enterprises needed high-performance meeting intelligence at scale.
- Architecture
- Cloud-native meeting intelligence platform; architecture and scale under the CTO seat.
- Outcome
- Successful company exit after scaling the product.
