The Gap I want to fill

It’s a rare case that a person studies the history and details of a Pakistan based startup for their initiative/startup. Usually, our mentors give us brilliant examples of high profile businesses run by high profile entrepreneurs.

But they underestimate the power and influence of the environment, mental health, family system, and opportunities on a startup.

Mostly, they give examples of foreign startups where the person wants to start their business. They can get the loan and accommodate the things as well as have higher opportunities than Pakistanis because of their system.

Whereas, if a Pakistani wants to start a business, the first thing they have to face is the opposition of 5Fs in their life.

The list of these 4Fs represents

  • Father
  • Father-in-law
  • Friends
  • Family

Aside from this, many other factors contribute to and affect business growth.

In this scenario, if we consider the case studies and tips and tricks that are being followed by the business of any country other than Pakistan, it will clarify the gap we have as compared to the developed world.

This is what I care about.

An all-in-one resource that could have the details of all businesses that are being run in Pakistan but have never been so popular, with some expert tips and case studies, is what that can fill the gap.

That’s what that can fill the gap.
