Last year, Pakistani startups raised around $375 million – double the startups’ funds in the last six years.

Pakistan is the world’s fifth-largest nation that had an exceptional year. The startup scene in the country is booming, with a flood of overseas capital flowing into Pakistani firms during the coronavirus pandemic.

Startup investment advisory platform Alpha Beta Core shared data which indicated that during the year 2021, Pakistani startups attracted the largest share (32%) of funding in logistics, (27%) of e-commerce, and (25%) fintech, and (4%) ed tech and health tech.

Top deals of 2021 include Airlift, Bazaar, TAG, Tajir, and Qisstpay.

WOW 360|Pakistani Startups Raised $375M in 2021

Another organization known as the Invest2Innovate (I2I) that retains track of funding flows to startups in the country put the inflow figure at $350 million. As per I2I, 81 investment deals were made by Pakistani startups in 2021. Between 2015 to 2020, Pakistani startups garnered 174 deals worth $231 million.

Let’s Have a Look at Some Startups Where Women Played Lead Roles:

Oraan

Pakistan’s first women-led startup co-founded by Halima Iqbal and Farwah Tapal called Oraan had raised $3 million in seed funding to increase financial accessibility for women. It aims to serve the women of Pakistan by becoming a neo-bank. Investors Zain Capital and Wavemaker Partners, along with Resolution Ventures, Hustle Fund, i2i Ventures, Plug and Play, and Claire Diaz-Ortiz, co-led the process of seed funding with Oraan.

CreditBook

A power couple, Iman Jamall and Hasib Malik, are the co-founders of CreditBook, an app that assists small business owners in controlling their finances by tracing cash received and payments pending with electronic payment notices sent out to consumers. The New York-headquartered firm Tiger Global also made its first investment in Pakistan in CreditBook. Iman and Hasib were also featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia List – Social Impact. The startup accumulated $11 million in pre-Series A round.

Bagallery

Co-founders Mina Salman and Salman Sattar of Bagallery, a beauty, and fashion e-commerce store, have successfully raised $4.5 million in Series A funding in a round co-led by Zayn Capital and existing investors Lakson Venture Capital and UAE-based Hayaat Global.
