Meet the 3 Winners of Plan9 Launchpad Islamabad

A few days ago, Plan9 rocked the peaceful suburbs of Islamabad by bringing the 6th season of Launchpad to the city of sights. They shortlisted entrepreneurs from the capital to present and pitch their startups to a panel of judges. 21 start-ups were invited to the event, out of which only 3 managed to pitch their way above all the rest. There were many promising start-ups who made an impression in front of the judges. The startup pitches were judged by Messrs. Salman Farooq, Qaiser Ansari, Amer Qureshi, Kashif Khan, Fasahat Ali, Syed Ahmed and Azm Dar.

Plan9 recently held the Launchpad in Lahore, and it was a roaring success with 11 winners and a 3-day event filled with pitches and talks from revered members of the entrepreneurial world.

The two-day event at Islamabad made for a memorable few days. The budding entrepreneurs learned much from the extensive feedback given by the judges at the end of their pitches. The start-ups who didn’t manage to secure a victory can learn from these mistakes and hopefully implement them in their future pitches.

The 3 start-ups that managed to get the judges attention were:

  1. Trequant: They are currently developing the world’s first tremor quantification device. The wearable device will help patients become capable of diagnosing, self-assessment, tracking and detecting tremor vibrations.
