60. Q3 2023 Pakistan Startup Funding Update with Mutaher Khan
The quarter just ended, and the numbers are in. Pakistani startups raised $6.8 million in disclosed equity funding across five deals in Q3 2023.
That’s 87% less than the $55 million raised in Q3 of 2022 but 40% more than the $5 million raised in Q2 of 2023. This brings the YTD funding to $35 million.
So what gives? To answer that question and better understand the current trends in Pakistani startup funding, in this episode of the misaal podcast, I am joined by Mutaher Khan.
He covers startups for DAWN and is the co-founder of Data Darbar.
We discuss the funding winter, startup failures, and how media creates and shapes narratives.
