About Fatima Gobi Ventures
Fatima Ventures (FV) is one of the earliest venture capital firms (VCs) in Pakistan. It was founded in 2015 to support the local startup ecosystem. FV is backed by Fatima Group, which has over 82 years of business experience in Pakistan. This gives FV direct access to a vast corporate and governmental network in the country.
FV is also the first local VC firm to run an incubator, accelerator, and fund. In 2021, FV and Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) jointly won US$6 million to establish the largest incubator center in Pakistan, the National Incubation Center (NIC) Lahore.
