Trailblazing Seed Rounds in Pakistan!


August 11, 2021 by STEP Conference

As one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, Pakistan has struck a strong precedent in the ecosystem of startups and growing SMEs. With raking in $120 million startup funding in just the first half of 2021*, it is notable how the region is cultivating the right atmosphere for young startups to grow.

Joining Step Pakistan, the leading event in Pakistan for the next innovators are two such startups that have contributed significantly to their ecosystem.

Aimfit, founded by sisters Mahlaqa and Noor Shaukat, had raised $1M last year amidst a rolling pandemic for their online fitness platform that allows their customers to get fit from home through their on-demand online fitness classes.

Bazaar, the B2B e-commerce platform co-founded by Saad Jangda and Hamza Jawaid, had raised $6.5 million in one of the largest seed rounds for the region earlier. Bazaar connects retailers directly to wholesalers and manufacturers, unlocking efficiencies across the value chain through technology.
