Summary

Founder and product‑led builder: Hazim is an early‑stage founder focused on solving the co‑founder / early‑hiring problem. With CoffeeSpace he’s combined dating‑style UX, granular filters, and semantic/ML matching to connect aspiring founders and first hires; interviews and founder spotlights describe rapid pilot testing, paid early users, and product pivots from prior projects. eqvista+2
Quantitative finance & risk background: He trained as a finance/risk analyst (MIT MFin + roles at IFC/World Bank Group) and has applied that quantitative, product‑oriented mindset to startup building — balancing risk‑aware decision making with rapid experimentation in product and go‑to‑market. youtube+1
Community builder and advisor: Prior work includes co‑founding student initiatives (Warwick ASEAN Conference), building Counselab to scale advising and career conversations, and informal angel investing/advising activity. He frames startup building as community and network formation — both as a founder and as a connector. ac+2
