About Us

Blade Labs pioneers dual innovation streams in financial technology and AI productivity. Founded on the principle that technology should democratize access to ethical financial services and business efficiency, the company develops cutting-edge solutions bridging traditional gaps in Islamic finance and AI-driven automation.

The company's flagship platform, ZeroH, represents a breakthrough in embedded Islamic finance. It utilizes private permissioned Hedera Hashgraph technology to enable seamless Shariah-compliant transactions. As the first implementation of its kind in Qatar, ZeroH transforms how financial institutions deliver interest-free payment solutions and financing options. The platform's proprietary compliance algorithms, certified by the renowned Shariah advisory firm Amanie Advisors, reduce regulatory overhead by up to 60% while improving audit accuracy, allowing banks and automotive companies to offer ethical financial products at scale.

Complementing this innovation, Blade Labs has developed Blade AI Services, a suite of artificial intelligence tools designed specifically for solopreneurs and small teams. This platform tackles the administrative burden that typically consumes up to 120 working days annually for small businesses, automating document creation, workflow management, and operational tasks through sophisticated machine learning and natural language processing.

The company's groundbreaking approach has earned multiple industry accolades, including recognition at Web Summit Qatar and Finopitch Tokyo, cementing its reputation as an award-winning innovator in both Islamic fintech and AI productivity solutions. Blade Labs' dual-focus strategy has been lauded for addressing critical market gaps while maintaining rigorous ethical standards and technological excellence.

Led by CEO Sami Mian, Blade Labs bridges technological innovation with ethical considerations, designing systems that respect both regulatory frameworks and cultural values. The company maintains strategic partnerships with Google Cloud, Hedera, and key financial institutions throughout the GCC region, while rapidly expanding its presence in markets where traditional and Islamic finance converge.

With headquarters in Singapore and a regional office in Qatar, Blade Labs exemplifies how thoughtfully designed technology can simultaneously solve complex compliance challenges and everyday business inefficiencies, creating sustainable value across diverse markets and user needs.
