INFINITE SCALEUP

Scale To Infinity!

• Many founders rush into a certain business just because they see VCs investing into those kinds of businesses. Don’t to that; the conviction needs to come from within. If you're dependent on external validation, that's the end of your company.

• You can’t base your business on a model that was made by people in other parts of the world because they were made without any context & understanding of local market dynamics & customer mindset.

• Fudging numbers to raise investment & taking shortcuts is the wrong approach.

[DirAction Skills @DirActionSkills]

• An investor invests in an entrepreneur’s ability to figure it out.

• It is the willingness to admit your wrongs, rectify them & the extreme to which you are willing to go that build trust with an investor. • A good investor is like a mentor - he asks good questions.

Private equity investments have failed miserably in Pakistan; beware of private equity investors who claim to be VCs.

• An investor can never know your business better than the founder himself. So, it is you who has to constantly keep figuring out what works & what won’t.

[DirAction Skills @DirActionSkills]

• The resilience of a business model depends heavily on where it sits in the overall necessity space.

• Know the difference b/w a VC & private equity investor. A good venture investor, invests into people; private equity investor invests into models.

[DirAction Skills @DirActionSkills]

• As founders, you should not immediately jump into the idea of raising investment.

The entrepreneurs need to first see if the company is venture backed ,is it bootstrapped or is it in some sort of strategic partnership with a corporate. Weigh out the options before deciding.

1) Startups in 🇵🇰 are investable but the problem lies in entrepreneurs' lack of clarity on what type of investment to go for.

2) Venture Capital does help startups scale but VC itself is a business model that only works if the business can return 20x to30x the investment size.

It was exciting to host entrepreneurs in a fireside chat between @nabeelaq & @jonas_eichhorst (Investor & Exec. Chairman @bykeapk).

The discussion revolved around 'Raising #Investments In a Risky Economy'.

The #startup founders left with a number of takeaways.

Lack of employment opportunities is a challenge but not the only roadblock in the way of our youth setting standards.

The inadequacy of hireable elements employers look for is a major impeding factor.

Becoming #hireable is what a young or aspiring professional must aim for.

[DirAction Skills @DirActionSkills]

What's the life cycle of a fresh tech resource?

Before the employee can perform independently, they have to be effectively broken in which can take months of investment.

This can be taxing on the employer & employee, both.

Well, we have a solution for both sides 🤝

1.The tedious process IT companies have to go through in finding the right people they need for relevant roles in their organisations.

2.The lack of accessibility of tech professionals & fresh IT graduates in reaching out to the companies that they aspire to work with.

Idea Croron Ka is back with Season 5!

Bigger, better and unique, it comes with an exciting new format presenting Pakistan & its youth to the world in a manner unseen before.

A show for the youth of Pakistan, in the past four seasons, @IdeaCroronKa_PK enabled more than 42 startups from all over the country to raise PKR 510 Million as investments with more than 100 startups pitching their ideas on the show. Giving a common Pakistani hope, positivity & self-belief that there lies a hero within them, has been the biggest contribution of the show.

This could not have been achieved without an undeterred support of Prof. Dr. Chaudhry Abdul Rehman (Chairman of Nai Baat Media House) who not only became the first believer of the show but stood by it like a pillar all throughout.
