Connecting with the Global Entrepreneurial Community

Muhammad Furqan Karim Kidwai’s Journey to Startup Grind Global 2023

Muhammad Furqan Karim Kidwai, our CS alum from the Class of 2020 and co-founder of YPay Financial Services (Pvt. Ltd.), achieved a significant milestone at Startup Grind Global 2023, taking his startup journey from inception with Sarfraz Hussain (Class of 2020) to a global platform.

This event provided a platform for him to connect with like-minded entrepreneurial visionaries and exchange ideas. Reflecting on his experience, Furqan shared some key takeaways that resonated deeply:

"It's better to be wrong than to be confused" - a powerful message from LinkedIn's Chief Product Officer Tomer Cohen, inspiring a mindset that embraces risks and values learning from mistakes.

Additionally, Douglas Leone from Sequoia Capital reminded the audience of the significance of a strong core team and the right investors, stressing that while the name and idea of a startup may evolve, these fundamental elements are crucial for success.

As the Co-Founders of YPay Financial Services (Pvt. Ltd.), Furqan and Sarfraz are more committed than ever to democratize personal finance and expand access to asset management services across Pakistan.

Stay tuned and follow their inspiring journey by following them on their Instagram page: @ypayfinancialservices, to witness the positive impact they continue to make in the world of finance!
