Peshawar 2.0 has opened applications for the first batch of startup incubation and acceleration programme, Revolt, which is the first non-university programme in the province.
Revolt, is an intensive 3-months programme that intends to train, support and promote students, innovators, scientists, engineers and designers from all levels who wish to convert their ideas into real-life businesses. The programme is led by partners who are focused on connecting universities and the local market and industry in order to channel the creative and innovation potential of the youth especially students in the region towards economic development
Dr Faisal Khan, the Lead Partner at Revolt, said:
Revolt is the only real startup factory in the KP region. We are sector agnostic and welcome ideas from any sector provided it has the potential, and ideally solves any of the local problems we face. After almost 3 years of spade work, we now begin to seed the City with great startups one batch at a time.
Salman Ahmad, who is also a partner at Revolt said:
‘What sets us apart from any other incubation programme in the country is that its run by full time partners. You live, work and play right next to them and the other teams in a shared office space.
Bilal Ahmad, Education Lead at Peshawar 2.0 and a partner at Revolt said:
It’s a programme run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. Its going to be hands-on and hands-dirty for all.
Basecamp, a staple location for the techie and creative folks, is a strategic partner with Revolt.
Muhammad Uzair, Co-founder Basecamp Peshawar said:
We provide the most creative, vibrant and conducive physical environment to all basecampers that will now include incubatees at Revolt.
Is this incubator only for KPK region? I mean no other provinces?
I guess only for KP, the program focuses on local startups and entrepreneur.
