A few weeks ago, XSEED made its debut in Lahore โ€” an incredible start for our Tuesday cohort in the city! ๐Ÿ‘
The session was led by Imran Azhar, Founder & CEO of AzCorp Entertainment Private Limited, who guided founders through interactive discussions and hands-on activities. Alongside Lahore-based entrepreneurs, we welcomed startups from Sialkot, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and other cities across Punjab. Many traveled for hours to join us, bringing energy, curiosity, and fresh ideas to the room.
Weโ€™re grateful to the team at Takhleeq UCP for hosting us and for the warm welcome. Founder feedback has been fantastic, and weโ€™re excited to continue the journey with this cohort in the upcoming sessions.
A wonderful beginning to XSEEDโ€™s presence in Lahore โ€” and many more to come!
