Pakistan's start-up ecosystem is gathering steam. There are scores of start-ups that one gets to hear about these days on social media. While some have struggled to take off commercially, others have gone on to make their mark. BR Research set about finding critical success factors (CSFs) that are common among successful start-ups.
Criteria for inclusion in this analysis were that the firm should be: 1) an original, local start-up 2) based out of Pakistan and 3) in commercial phase. More than a dozen such start-ups were contacted for key information specific to their operations. The response has been mixed, presumably on account of limited willingness to share data with the public. Before going to the CSFs, let's briefly look at the start-ups that did share information. They are listed in an alphabetical order.
