Race to Pitch Stop at Innovation District 92 | InfoZonePK

ID92-PitchStop

The startup race commenced on 20th June, 2018 at Innovation District 92 following the exciting theme of car racing. They call their startup induction event ‘Pitch Stop’. The idea behind it was, that to reach a destination one has to make pitch stops. So to reach Innovation ‘District’ startups will have to make ‘Pitch Stops’. It all started when they received an innovative bulk of 600 applications and through rigorous sifting shortlisted 100 applications. These 100 startups were invited on their Pitch Stop Day 1 to impress the panel of judges from different industries. They were given only two minutes to flood the floor with their creativity. Some failed but some succeeded!

Innovation District 92 was a battle ground with judges score sheet vs entrepreneurs ideas; surely it was a battle of minds. The judges included founders / representatives of startup industry; Talaal Burny – Careem, Faizan Aslam – Bookme.pk, Shahmir Amir – Travly, Usama Tauqeer – AlooClan, Bilal Tariq – Capital Stake, Saad Idrees – Daftarkhawan, Sana Mela – Perspective, Qaiser Ansari – Pantera Engineering, Surkhail Sohail – Otex Connect, Khurram Mir – BookMyUmrah, Rameeza Moin – Transparent Hands, Fahad Rao – Club Internet, Wajahat Iqbal – SolutionsAhead and Shahbaz Ali Khan – Club Internet. The all day long elevator pitches, which were divided into 3 panels, resulted in selecting 25 startups, who were given the ticket to Pitch Stop Day 2 known as IDEATE Workshops.
