Farokht has officially joined NIC Karachi Cohort 14, moving from the Foundry pre-incubation program to full incubation.
We learned about the National Incubation Center (NIC) in early 2025, a government-backed tech incubator supported by Ignite and Orbit Startups. It helps early-stage startups grow through mentorship, structure, and access to the right network.
In March 2025, we became part of the Foundry pre-incubation program, where Farokht was guided through MVP development, market validation, and early user testing. That phase helped us shape our idea into a tangible product and build clarity around our direction.
After months of consistent work and progress, in September 2025, Farokht officially joined NIC Karachi’s Women-Led Startups Incubation Program (Cohort 14).
Joining this program marks an important milestone in our journey. The mentorship and support from NIC Karachi continue to play a key role as we move closer to building a trusted, culture-driven content commerce platform for Pakistan.
