Seed Money Grants

Nurturing Student Founders (PKR 200K - 500K Funding)

Seed money winners are trained formally on entrepreneurial fundamentals and provided cubators to incubate their startup ideas for a full year under regular monitoring, evaluation, and expert guidance. Successful startups spin out as legal business entities serving society.
