Even after COVID-19, Pakistan’s entrepreneurial environment has grown, fueled by rising mobile penetration and the world’s biggest, youngest populace seeking lifestyle enhancements. The country’s startup scene has already attracted the attention of the country’s biggest venture capitalists, including First Round Capital, Prosus, Kleiner Perkins, and Gobi Partners. Paklaunch is dedicated to improve the startup environment and advocate for it on a global scale.
