About
Techshaw Notes was a monthly newsletter between 2019-2024 covering Pakistan’s startup ecosystem with a focus on startup funding.
Hi there. I’m Zahid — the founder of Techshaw, a digital media outlet that covered startup funding in Pakistan.
Back in 2013, I got curious about Pakistan’s startup scene. One thing led to another…and suddenly I was knee-deep in funding announcements, founder drama, and “next big thing” pitches.
For over a decade, I documented the chaos, curated the news, and sent out a monthly newsletter starting in 2019 to make sense of it all.
I decided to call it quits in June 2024, but the archives are still here — a time capsule of how far (and how sideways) the ecosystem has gone.
Got a tip, a memory, or just want to say hi? You can find me on Twitter or Bluesky.
I’m not covering the scene anymore, but I’m always rooting from the sidelines.
