Bilal Mazhar backs founders building the future of human performance through VentureVoyages, an early-stage wellness and biotech fund investing in recovery technology, mental health innovation, and longevity science.

After spending a decade architecting platforms that moved millions in capital and managed billions in risk across finance and technology, Bilal brings operational depth to early-stage investing. He’s built and scaled systems for global institutions, led multimillion-dollar platform transformations, and designed the infrastructure that powers complex decision-making at scale. He knows what it takes to go from prototype to platform — and he’s invested in helping founders make that leap.

Through VentureVoyages, he’s focused on companies that merge ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science. He’s particularly interested in founders who understand that the best wellness technology doesn’t feel like technology at all. It just works, looks beautiful, and fits seamlessly into daily life.

What he brings to portfolio companies: pattern recognition from building at scale, a global network across tech and finance, and a bias toward execution over endless strategizing. He moves fast, thinks systems-first, and genuinely cares about what founders are building.

A Columbia graduate who’s lived in 60+ neighborhoods across four continents, Bilal is fluent in multiple languages and equally comfortable discussing Sufi poetry, metabolic health, or the technical architecture of a Series A pitch. He stays active through tennis, yoga, and basketball, and believes the best conversations happen over long walks or on the court.

Based in New York City. Always looking for founders building at the intersection of biology, behavior, and design and people who think deeply about how we can live better, longer, more intentionally.
