About us
SEED Ventures (Social, Entrepreneurship, and Equity Development) was established in 2009. We are social impact ecosystem developers and impact investors. Our work is dedicated to nurturing an ecosystem where social entrepreneurs can thrive, and the social impact of traditional entrepreneurship can be enhanced and scaled. We work with the public, development, and private sector organisations to develop financial mechanisms that maximize impact creation. We want to alleviate socio-economic challenges by building the next generation of change-makers; empower youth and women; and include and embrace the excluded. For each of our portfolios, we have developed solutions using a four-lensed framework ensuring there is transformational change at an individual, community, institutional, and systemic level. We create enabling ecosystems through research, policy advocacy, developing entrepreneurial capacity, encouraging innovation, linking to markets, and creating access to finance through fund management and impact investment.

🌍💡 Did you know only 33% of people worldwide are financially literate—that means 3.5 billion lack an understanding of basic financial concepts. In this powerful message, our CEO Shaista Ayesha reminds us that financial literacy is just one piece of the puzzle. At Enterprise Challenge Pakistan (ECP), we believe that financial literacy must be coupled with climate literacy to truly equip the changemakers of tomorrow. By teaching our youth the importance of green entrepreneurship, ECP is nurturing a generation that understands both the value of money and the urgency of sustainable practices. These future leaders are not just learning to manage resources—they're learning to protect them. 🌱 For details, visit: https://seedventures.org/ #SEEDVentures #EnterpriseChallengePakistan #FinancialLiteracy #ClimateLiteracy #YouthEmpowerment #GreenEntrepreneurship The King's Trust Jubilee Insurance The COSARAF Charitable Foundation

In Karachi’s Mehran Town, a transformation is taking place. Women, who once had limited access to education and job opportunities, are now breaking barriers, learning new skills, and shaping their futures through SEED Ventures' Imarah programme. In our IT classes, women are mastering the digital tools that will open doors for them in the modern workforce. From our last IT batch alone, 10 inspiring women have already secured jobs, using the skills they learned to build better lives for themselves and their families. In our Basic Literacy programme, both manual and digital, 17 more women have stepped into employment, proving that it’s never too late to learn and grow. Imarah is more than just a programme - it’s a movement toward independence and opportunity for women. Help us continue this journey and support more women in gaining the skills they need for a brighter tomorrow!
