LadiesFund #LFPowwow2 enabled 40 women SMEs to network and sold their products, while 20 women SMEs showcased their products and services on stage and fb live to a global audience, during the week. This capacity-building workshop held at Second Cup Karachi is a unique way for women entrepreneurs to learn how to pitch their products in a timebound stage showcase where an audience can ask questions and they get a feel for the market response to their products. They could also share their achievements in a supportive sisterhood of likeminded women.
Spotted at the event were Moneeza Butt, Mehreen Hamza Tabani, Varah Mussavir, Khursheed Hyder, Sana Pirzada & Zoreed Raza, among others. LadiesFund President Tara Uzra Dawood hosted the event and selected mentors presented their mentees to the audience.
Each guest brought their products including Digital Art & Craft, Home Accessories printing, Jewelleries, Natural Preservation Products & Organic Skin Products etc. Star of the event was 9 year girlpreneur Little Funkar Fareeha Kashif who quills stunning framed art pieces commercially.
“We continue to transform the way power spaces and networking at the highest level take place as we place women front row and center in these conversations, providing a platform where they have a voice and receive respect from the get-go. With this second powwow, we are growing this pool, both by our selected mentors and the amazing women who are presenting their products and services,” stated LadiesFund President Tara Uzra Dawood.
“The Pow Wow sessions are a great way to help women-based SME’s to build confidence and overcome their fears of addressing large audiences while still representing their business. These are great to encourage networking and facilitate their growth,” said craftpreneur Varah Mussavir, Pakistan’s own Firefly Girl who was a mentor.
“As a woman entrepreneur, I believe that the true measure of success lies not just in our own achievements, but in the empowerment of other women who dream of making a difference, LadiesFund’s PowWow just does that. Let us inspire, support, and uplift each other, and together, we can break down barriers and shatter glass ceilings. A special shoutout to Tara Uzra Dawood for letting me be a part of such an amazing community. “Mehreen Hamza Tabani, owner of Allure by MHT, who was a mentee.
