BEDLAM INC
Bedlam Inc is a venture builder and institutional investor headquartered in New York, United States, operating under the philosophy of 'a business that creates businesses.' Founded by Nadir Khamissa (Founder & CEO) and Shaazim Khamissa (Co-Founder & CTO), the firm generates ideas internally and partners with high-potential entrepreneurs to turn them into companies. Bedlam funds 100% of the prototype and early iterations toward product/market fit, bringing in external funders and partners only once traction is achieved and the business model is proven. The firm follows a structured process—brainstorm, analyze, deal/kill, create teams, launch an MVP fully funded by Bedlam, and then scale with further Bedlam investment or external capital. Bedlam's investment focus is biased toward emerging markets, particularly Africa and Asia, with a belief that technology benefits people in developing countries most. Its portfolio companies operate across 22 developing countries in Africa and Asia, with offices in 5 countries. The portfolio includes Hello Paisa, Hello Mobile, QMart, Daytona Capital, Snode, and Diaspora Technologies.
