Kareem Rahma

Kareem Rahma (born July 15, 1986) is an Egyptian-American comedian, artist, and media entrepreneur. Rahma is one of the founders of Nameless Network, a media company started by a group of former Vice employees. Rahma is a senior advisor to XTR. Previously, he worked at The New York Times.

He has been nominated for three Webby awards including Best Individual Performance alongside Sam Morril and Trevor Noah, Best Longform Comedy, and Best Short Form Comedy alongside Trevor Noah and Ted Lasso.

Rahma was born in Cairo and raised in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. He received his bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and attended the master of business communication program at the University of St. Thomas.

After college, Rahma worked as Head of Audience Development at VICE which was "kind of like a marketing role, kind of like a digital role, it's kind of a content role, it's kind of a little bit of everything." In 2021, Rahma and Andrew Kuo co-founded the podcast company SomeFriends, which is focused on elevating BIPOC stories and talent, with the mission of entertaining everybody.

As Growth Editor at the New York Times, Rahma produced the outlet's first vertical video, a profile of Ryder Ripps that was available through Snapchat. After leaving the Times, Rahma (along with Alexandra Serio and Max Nelson) started a Kickstarter project called NYC.TV to bring public access TV online. This project brought short documentary films to The New York Times website in a project called Made With Kickstarter. The effort eventually led to the Nameless Network.

Rahma left the New York Times to pursue "my dream of entrepreneurship" in a venture which was a "Vice meets Vox meets NowThis news". It was in this role that Rahma realised: "I was not a good entrepreneur, not a good business person I should say. Good entrepreneur. Not a good business man."

Rahma created "Museum of Pizza," a pop-up immersive art exhibition focused on pizza. In 2010, he launched SheWearsYourTee.com, a marketing effort wherein Tanaya Henry became a walking billboard.

Rahma is known for combining branded marketing and creative works. He has served as producer and executive producer for several films, including "Miracle Fishing: Kidnapped Abroad," and "Ferguson Rises," both of which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival.
