Moving to a new country you know nothing about? Hemavi is the local friend you wish you had. We find you a place to stay, a community of like-minded people, and provide support throughout the entire journey.
There was no one platform that we could trust to take care of us throughout our entire journey from housing, to community and everything else; in a safe, transparent and digital way. We had no choice but to ‘figure things out by ourselves’ once we landed into that foreign land. So we started Hemavi.
Today, with the help of our culturally diverse team, Hemavi is thriving in Sweden, and we're trying our best to change how people move globally. We know how scary this process can be -- we might not immediately have the answers to everything, but we always try our best to help.
Hazem is one of the founders of Hemavi, an algorithm-based matchmaking platform for roommates. Having started Hemavi with Co-Founder Pascal Dettwiler, these two had a vision of making co-living a safer, and a better experience, focusing on the compatibility between roommates and making the whole moving experience a more enjoyable one.
In 2021 and just a few months after launching Hemavi, Hazem won H.M. Kung Carl XVI Gustafs pris Årets Nybyggare as one of the best foreign entrepreneurs in south of Sweden. He comes from a corporate finance and financial restructuring background in the real estate sector securing syndications of more than USD 50 Million and managing a loan portfolio of USD 125 Million.
Hazem holds a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from the American University in Cairo and a Master of Finance from Lund University.
Hazem’s biceps are a huge part of his personality and unfortunately, he posts gym selfies sometimes. He’s also a huge F1 fan and won’t shut up about the 2021 final grand prix in Abu Dhabi.
Pascal Dettwiler is one of the Founders of Hemavi. He has proven skills in Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Fundraising & Investments, Sales & Business Development. Previous to founding Hemavi, he has been working in both corporate finance and within the banking sector. He holds a Bachelor degree in Economics and a Master degree in Finance from Lund University, and also has studied Finance at NUS in Singapore.
Matt is one of the Founders of Hemavi. He has a bachelor of laws (LLB) from the University of Nottingham, UK, and has been leading software development teams since 2019 - building & managing mobile/web apps in various fields such as finance, education, logistics, e-commerce, and advertising.
When it comes to what Matt actually does at Hemavi – nobody really knows, and we’re all just a bit scared to ask at this point. What we do know though, is that he’s your go-to guy when you’ve got problems, big ideas or…problems, mostly – very much like a therapist? But one who doesn’t tell you to fix things yourself, but rather conveniently fixes things for you.
When he’s not re-organizing the team’s priorities in an *cough* agile way, drafting mind-boggling whimsical flows, juggling between dozens of tasks that should’ve been done yesterday, or battling impostor syndrome every other week, Matt has a life - one he quite enjoys actually… when he’s got the time, that is.
