I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Technical Program Manager at Meta! https://t.co/mmdsajfWT6

@cogecohelps I could get a new connection from bell in that many days. They are at my door every other week trying to convert me. You guys really need to up your game

[Umer Iqbal @uiqbal]

@cogecohelps my internet's been down since yesterday, and your call center says tech can only come four days later. What kind of staffing do you guys have in the GTA? Can't depend on you guys for home office setup anymore! #disappointed

VCs invested 3x into Fintech in 2021 Vs 2020

🤯

[Aatif Awan @aatif_awan]

What a year for Pakistani startups! 5x VC funding compared to 2020.

Congrats to all the founders, employees, investors, regulators and other stakeholders who have played a role in this. Big thanks to @Invest2Innovate for tracking and sharing insights on the ecosystem 🙌🏽🇵🇰

[Zayn VC @ZaynVentureCap]

Agriculture is Pakistan’s largest sector, contributing ~24% to GDP and employing circa half the country's labour force. Yet it remains fragmented with complicated supply chains that often lead to inflated prices, food waste and low profits for farmers.

This is so delicious

🚨Alert!🚨

There’s a lot of fanfare surrounding the lending volume flowing through DeFi rails.

Something interesting is happening: Almost $50B has been locked in DeFi lending vaults REALLY quickly.

[Aatif Awan @aatif_awan]

1/ Incredibly proud of the @airlift_tech team for all they've accomplished. Covid could've been end-of-the-road for a mass-transit startup, but they pivoted to quick commerce and in a short time, built a phenomenal high-growth business delivering household essentials in 30 mins.
