In this episode of the misaal podcast, I’ll give you a quarterly update on the startup ecosystem in Pakistan.

As far as startup funding goes, there isn’t much to discuss, as Pakistani startups raised $0 in Q1. Still, many things happened in Q1, such as SadaPay acquisition, startup closures, layoffs, etc.

It’s mostly bad news, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

In this 67th episode of the misaal podcast, I unpack the recent $50 million acquisition of SadaPay by Papara.

Despite a challenging month with no new startup funding rounds, the ecosystem showed signs of resilience with SadaPay’s acquisition. However, there are no whiners in this deal.

Discover insights into the impact of political changes on the ecosystem, the significance of startup acquisitions, and what the SadaPay deal reveals about venture capital dynamics.

I dissect the valuation, the terms of the deal, and its implications for investors and the broader ecosystem.
