Endeavor, a not-for-profit entity focused on scaling high-impact entrepreneurs, is looking to set up its presence in Pakistan.
Adrian Garcia-Aranyos, President of Endeavor Global, has made a formal announcement on LinkedIn saying, “ We announced the official launch of our 40th location, Endeavor Pakistan, although we are still in active search of a Managing Director (know anyone?)”.
Pakistan has been on our radar for quite some time, so we couldn’t be more excited to finally have a presence there plus an outstanding board, he further added. Make no mistake, Pakistan has some pretty outstanding entrepreneurial talent both domestically and abroad, said the President of Endeavor Global, who is visiting Pakistan to attend the Future Fest.
“From Mudassir Sheikha, co-founder of Careem, and part of our Founding Board; to Shahid Khan, who presides Flex-N-Gate; Mansoor Ijaz founder of Crescent Investments Llc; Safi Urrehman Qureshey, founder of AST Research; Tariq Farid, founder of Edible Arrangements and… Kumail Nanjiani, Co-Founder of Pied Piper. Ok, this last one isn’t a real company, but think of it: even an HBO hit series about tech had a Pakistani as part of the core tech team,” he commented on his LinkedIn post.
Keep your eyes peeled, since we will see more exciting developments coming from Pakistan very soon, he remarked.
