Hi, my name is Sara Akhtar. I am interested in following the concept of venture capital in Pakistan. Here is one of the reports I have written:
VENTURE CAPITAL IN PAKISTAN'
editThe business incubator/venture capital window of the CSF will be used to promote Venture Capital (VC) in Pakistan. This facility will lead to the creation of business incubators and provide funding for them. Furthermore, it aims at setting up a VC Fund company with a paid up capital of US$ 50m. CSF in collaboration with the Pakistan Business Council will also support the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan in its efforts to improve the legal framework surrounding Venture Capital.
In the year 2007, there are three companies engaged in venture capital business in Pakistan namely: 1. Name: TMT Ventures Ltd. 2. Name: TRG Ltd. 3. Name: AMZ Ventures Ltd.
Minimum capital requirement to set a Fund Management company in Pakistan is US$ 4,200,000 compared to US$ 100,000 internationally. [1]
