Hello and welcome to the Karavan podcast, a show about Pakistan's startup ecosystem where we have intimate conversations with founders and investors driven to catapult Pakistan into the digital age. We discuss what it’s really like to start a business, the highs and lows. The setbacks. The comebacks. The lessons. Everything. I am your host Amad Mian, Partner at Karavan, a community-driven VC platform. Given the nascent ecosystem, there’s a massive spread between talent in the country and the resources available to support them. Our mission is to close that gap by providing capital and expertise at the earliest stage. You can find more information about Karavan at www.karavan.vc. We want to be the founder’s most valuable partner over a long period of time. That means we only get involved in companies where we can personally make a difference. We activate our global network, draw expertise and insights across the entire spectrum of company building, and arm busy founders with the necessary intel to keep them ahead of the competition. We also help with connectivity and pinpoint investors for the next round to get a head start on fundraising. We may, ourselves, invest small amounts of money, but we devote large amounts of time, attention, and care because we know how hard it is to build a meaningful company. So stay with me, as we dive into the stories behind some of Pakistan’s most exciting companies. Until next time, thanks for listening. Khuda Hafiz. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karavanpodcast/message
