Zayn Venture Capital (Zayn.VC) is a prominent investment and top venture capital firms in Pakistan that actively supports and funds innovative Pakistani start-ups that are revolutionizing various industries through technology. Our primary focus is on early-stage companies, and while we remain open to opportunities in all sectors, we particularly analyze each company through a FinTech lens.
With a diverse investment portfolio, we have successfully invested in a wide range of sectors in Pakistan, including B2C and B2B E-Commerce, Logistics, and Fintech. Notably, over 50% of our portfolio is dedicated to supporting and nurturing leading Pakistani FinTech companies, recognizing their immense potential for growth and disruption in the financial sector.
Our fund thesis centers around the belief that exchange of value protocols will play a pivotal role in disrupting industries and driving technology adoption in the coming decade. We also recognize the transformative potential of the convergence between blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, which will have a profound impact on our way of life and society as a whole.
In line with this thesis, our investment focus is directed towards technology platforms and marketplaces that effectively capture offline economic activity, particularly user data. We anticipate that these platforms will eventually serve as the foundation for payments, fintech solutions, and trusted sources of accredited data for artificial intelligence applications.
We are particularly interested in frontier markets like Pakistan, where the predominantly informal economy can experience significant GDP growth through the adoption of technology. Factors such as increasing smartphone penetration, improved access to data, and evolving regulatory frameworks (such as OECD CRS, FATF, and Basel III) further contribute to the favorable investment landscape in these markets.
