Zouhair Khaliq and Parvez Abbasi Join Hands to Foster Entrepreneurship in Pakistan

Pakistanis can be quite an enterprising lot when it comes to business ideas. Pakistani entrepreneurs for their part are always looking to get the best mentorship and resources that suits their goals and ambitions.

But in order to achieve their dreams, they need the guiding hand of professionals more often than not. Most of them fail because there are no financial, technical or commercial resources that make all the difference between success and failure.

TeamUp is a new entrant to the ranks of Pakistani incubators such as Plan9, The Nest I/O and others. It’s headed by two veterans of the telecom industry who know the ins-and-outs of the Pakistani’s tech sector better than anyone else.
