SeedRise KP Fund | First Cohort

Empowering Early Stage Startups

SeedRise KP Fund is an initiative focused on identifying and supporting high-potential startups across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through a combination of technical assistance and financial support. The program aims to source promising ventures that are investment-ready, while also identifying startups with strong potential that require strategic and operational improvement before receiving investment.

Selected startups will receive tailored technical assistance in areas such as business strategy, financial planning, governance, operational structuring, and growth readiness. Based on the startup’s stage and needs, SeedRise may subsequently provide support through either equity-based investment or structured loan financing.

By combining capital with hands-on support, SeedRise seeks to strengthen the startup ecosystem by enabling founders to build more sustainable, scalable, and investment-ready businesses.

The initiative is implemented by the SeedRise Team, hosted at Institute of Management Sciences (IMSciences), Peshawar, and funded by The Asia Foundation
