“There is no Power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”- Margaret J. Wheatley

Community building is one of the most essential elements in the ecosystem especially when you are starting out as an entrepreneur and looking for outlets to network. To find support in fellow startups, become a resource for each other, and strive together in the challenging environment is what builds a community and enables change. However, finding the right people to help you adjust in to the community is not only challenging but daunting too.

For this very purpose, Startup.pk has launched a special Talk Series where we bring the industry experts, mentors, and fellow founders to you so that you may grow, learn, and excel together as a strong community!
