Zhar

ZHAR is a Swiss entrepreneur office and venture studio founded by Abouzar Rahmani, a serial entrepreneur with four generations of family heritage in the agri-food and real estate sectors. The company is dedicated to building future-forward brands and businesses that bridge innovation and legacy. ZHAR focuses on sectors that shape how we live, eat and connect, with core portfolio areas including consumer, food, industry, hospitality, and wellness sectors. Their mission centers on building meaningful, sustainable brands with a philosophy of progress that respects tradition - crafting ventures that are as thoughtful as they are bold. The venture studio operates with four key principles: building ventures that stand the test of time, leading innovation with humility and discipline, bridging tradition and modernity in everything, and maintaining ZHAR as more than a studio but a commitment to craft, culture and continuity. Current portfolio companies include CIMANORMA (a luxury Swiss chocolate resort) and MANI (natural dried fruit, nut and seed mixes and energy bites). ZHAR also operates FoodYoung Labs and Studio, focusing specifically on food industry transformation. The company represents a unique approach to venture building that combines traditional business values with modern innovation strategies.
