Stop talking about it. Build it. Expert trainers from S&P Global, weekly checkpoints, real mentors, an industry hackathon — and a shot at Taksh Venture Studio for top teams.
A full-stack founder experience — from zero to MVP in 8 weeks. This isn't a workshop. This isn't a seminar. This is the real thing — Pakistan's premier AI Acceleration Bootcamp.
Season 2 is delivered with a network of national and global partners — backing the builders, spreading the word, and powering the learning.
No fluff. No theory-only sessions. Every week ends with something built, scored, and reviewed.
Not a rotating cast of strangers. A curated team of S&P Global expert trainers — each leads their specialty, and each one briefs the next, so your journey stays continuous. You're known the whole way through. All 8 weeks.
Solve actual problems from real companies. Get in the room with industry leaders before you graduate.
Weekly assignments, attendance, dashboard submissions. We take commitment seriously.
Never built with AI? Start here. We teach the no-code AI stack and vibe-coding workflow — by Week 5 you'll have a working MVP, and a polished one by Demo Day. Engineers welcome too.
Founders, investors, and experts from Pakistan's top companies and global platforms.
A cohort of driven builders from across Pakistan. Your next co-founder is in this programme.
Certificates, portfolio deliverables, and ecosystem visibility that actually mean something.
Google Cloud credits, NIC Islamabad incubation, venture studio support, StartupDotPk media coverage.
Every week is a level up. Here's what the journey looks like:
Meet your trainer, form your team, onboard to the dashboard, sign your commitment. The journey starts here.
Customer discovery, user personas, pain-point mapping. Dig deep into real problems.
Get out of the building. Validate with real users before you build a single line of code.
Shape your solution. Build wireframes. Design for your actual user, not your assumptions.
Turn designs into a working prototype. Choose your stack. Start building.
Sprint. Test. Iterate. Your Minimum Viable Product comes to life this week.
Numbers, market, motion. Prove the why behind the build.
One full day. Real company problems. Build a live solution and pitch it to the partner.
Present your MVP to investors, industry leaders, and ecosystem players. Winners announced.
Every team gets a Builder Score — a transparent, evidence-based rating built up across five scored checkpoints during the bootcamp. AI-evaluated, mentor-reviewed, weighted by stage. This is what sponsors see.
Week 2 · written submission
Week 4 · real evidence from real users
Week 5–6 · demo link or recording
Week 6–7 · numbers, market, motion
Demo Day · live, judged on stage
Can a stranger understand the problem and your solution in 60 seconds?
Real user interviews, data, traction — not opinions or assumptions.
What you actually shipped this week — code, demos, customer outcomes.
Movement between checkpoints — are you learning, iterating, advancing?
CVs can't tell anyone who can actually build with AI. Builder Score can. After the bootcamp, your full score breakdown is yours to keep — and shared with our title sponsor for hiring and partnership conversations.
Cash, credits, incubation, and an ecosystem that opens doors well after Demo Day.
Cash prize for the winning team.
A chance to get into Taksh — extended mentorship, build support, and a path from MVP to real company for top teams.
StartupDotPk podcasts, articles, and social reach.
Special recognition from Hackathon Day partner companies.
Frameworks, worksheets, and a participant dashboard you keep after the bootcamp.
Certificate of Completion for every participant who finishes strong.
Expert trainers from S&P Global. Five Builder Score checkpoints. A live MVP at Demo Day — and a path into Taksh Venture Studio if you finish in the top tier.
