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.
