Finding the Next Generation of Women Investors and Entrepreneurs

Idea Croron Ka and Circle will train women to become investors and understand the entrepreneurial ecosystem. They will also offer them a platform to meet startups and invest in them.

Circle will also recommend women superheroes and female entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas on the show.

Nabeel A. Qadeer (from ICK) visited Karachi to sign a MoU with Circle. He shared that the show has featured female investors, several women superheroes and female startup founders to date. Despite that, the ratio of women-led startups showing up at auditions is quite low.

He also added that despite trying hard, they have struggled in finding female investors who have are willing to invest in the startup ecosystem.

Nabeel was upbeat about the collaboration with Circle and said:

“I believe that it is women who build strong nations.:

“With their laser sharp focus and strong ability to multitask, they can be more effective than men in almost every field. We are positive that Circle will help us get access to more women investors and startup founders respectively. I am excited about the investor training program we are putting together for more women to take the role of investors in Season 3 and beyond.”
