A 🧵comparing Ghana, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, and what it teaches us about dealing with crises ...
Ghana and Sri Lanka formally defaulted during the last two years, Pakistan did not
but currency devalued by 1/2 for both Pakistan and Ghana, and 1/3rd for Sri Lanka
I always like to highlight the achievements of our entrepreneurs, their ideas & innovation coming from dynamic minds. It's been a fantastic year for 🇵🇰Pakistan's startup ecosystem as they have been able to secure $300 Million in funding 💹🔼. I would like to congratulate Bookme,
2/ Bagallery, Clicky, and DevNation for getting an investment of $7.5 mil, $4.5 mil, $2.4 mil, and $170K respectively. All the startups raising investment are coming up with innovative business solutions. We, as a nation, need more entrepreneurs 🤝🚻and brands.
@morganpolotan Might work for some domains. In programming and data science, your work/portfolio speaks louder than your grades, certifications, and performance on any standardized exam.
Acquisitions often trip up founders, because successful founders are optimistic by nature, and acquisitions are something you should treat cynically.
When someone says they want to buy your startup, assume they'll suck up your attention for months and then ghost or lowball you.
It is better to have 100 users who love your product than have a million who just sorta like your product.
There is a graveyard of startups that acquired tons of users but died due to high churn and absence of passionate users.

@Dr_MuradPTI. Online education is the best alternative to teach Pakistani school students at this time. I am working with Pakistani research scholars at #NYU, and we can help set-up everything needed for online education. Is there any way we can setup a meeting?
Overwhelmed by the support & positive notes I have received so far by those wanting to help build #DigitalPakistan. We are heads down working for the next few months with all stakeholders.
