Many government agencies and governance/tech experts in Pakistan genuinely want to improve the business environment, but they do not have a deep understanding of the local context or clarity on high-gain pilots.

For example, BoI and PDA are also doing something these days. This has been tried at least 5 times in my career in this field of business environment, from the early 2000s to today.

PDA and BoI want to improve the business environment. What are they thinking and planning? My guess... integrate SECP and improve other starting-a-business procedures to make them easier. No one understands that the SECP process is already very easy for starting a business. And even if there is some complexity, you can hire a consultant for PKR 50K, and they will handle it all.

So now there will emerge a very govtech person with fancy applications and portals to integrate SECP with some other platforms and establish one portal. It will be a meaningless effort.

Starting a business is not difficult in Pakistan. Running a business is difficult. What are these difficulties? Banking system inefficiencies. IP rights violations. Land record issues. High urban rents. Low-quality HR. Commercial dispute resolution is flawed. Universities do not produce quality research. Inefficient housing policies favouring the elite are not good for middle-class workers and entrepreneurs. It is difficult to address these issues. So the easier way for the World Bank, BOI, etc. is to build a business portal.

During the IK government, he announced business facilitation centers. Many have done similar things in the last two decades. No single window worked. The only exception is PSW. It needs to be studied and understood. Another central portal with a few million dollars means nothing.

History will record a before and an after AI.
We are the last humans who will ever live entirely on the before side. That makes us something rare: the only generation that can design the terms of living with AI from a position of prior wholeness. Not because we are superior. Because we were formed in silence and solitude, shaped by grit. That is not nostalgia. It is leverage...

🚨𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled EU–INC, a new framework that lets you launch a company in 48 hours for under €100

Starting a company across the EU today = 27 legal systems, 60+ company structures 🤯

That might be about to change…

The European Commission just introduced 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰., a new optional corporate framework designed to make Europe actually function like one market.

Here’s what stands out:

→ Set up a company in 48 hours
→ Cost: < €100
→ Fully online, no minimum capital
→ One single framework across all EU countries
→ Easier share transfers & fundraising
→ EU-wide employee stock options (huge for talent)

Especially the EU-wide stock option plans, taxed only when employees actually sell (instead of when granted) is huge.

This makes it far easier for startups to attract and retain top talent, finally putting Europe closer to the US playbook.

In short: This is Europe trying to compete with the simplicity of a Delaware C-Corp 🇺🇸

And honestly… it’s long overdue.

For years, European founders had 2 choices:

1. Stay local and deal with fragmentation
2. Move to the US to scale

𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰. is trying to remove that trade-off.

If executed well, this could be one of the most important structural changes for European startups in decades.

What do you think?

Student built an AI that proved it mathematically

Three lines towering above every player in 40 years of ATP data. The Big Three isn't a narrative - it's visible in the ELO curves.

He tested 4 algorithms on 43 years of tennis data:
→ Decision Tree: 74%
→ Random Forest: 76%
→ Neural Network: 83%
→ XGBoost: 85%

His model then called Sinner winning the entire Australian Open before the first ball was hit.

85% accuracy. This is the quant era of sports. The people paying attention are already building.

We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company.
We're hiring!

I BUILT A $5,000 AI AUTOMATION FOR PLUMBING COMPANIES

And it runs the entire admin side of the business without the owner touching their phone.

- It reads new job requests
- extracts the details
- generates a quote using their pricing rules
- proposes available time slots
- books the job
- sends confirmations automatically

After the job is marked complete, it sends the invoice, payment link, and a review request — all without the office staff chasing anything.

Same website.
Same phone number.
Same tools they were already using.

Just a system handling the work that usually eats hours every day.

If you want to see the full breakdown — how the automation works, the logic behind it, and how to build one yourself:

A great rule for getting a sense of visual balance and focus in your scene. Even notice how the '10%' is still broken up using the same method, 3% and 1% for detail colors. the little pop of reds/ green on the plane, or red/yellow on the ship.

✨In China, a construction site is covered by a giant air-inflated membrane (like a big “balloon” outside) – it’s the foundation pit air membrane technique. It seals the area to control dust and resist weather, letting excavators and cranes work smoothly. Innovative engineering!

Same numbers.
