SparkTalks will host Aimen Shahid, Program Manager at National Incubation Center Faisalabad, for its next session, titled Creating Your First Million Dollar Pitch. The session will take place online on Google Meet on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM, and registration is free. Interested founders and students can sign up through the registration link. The talk is aimed at anyone who is preparing to present an idea to investors, mentors or a selection panel, and it promises a practical look at what makes a pitch work.
Aimen Shahid works closely with startups and early stage founders at the incubator, and she brings experience in startup development, market validation and building scalable business models. She has also led pitch readiness sessions at National Incubation Center Faisalabad for shortlisted founders ahead of their final pitching rounds, where the focus was on sharpening the story, refining presentations and helping founders speak about their ventures with clarity, structure and confidence. That experience of seeing many founders pitch in front of selection panels gives the session a practical base.
The session will cover the full path of a pitch, from presenting an idea clearly to handling tough questions with confidence. Many early stage founders are strong on the product but struggle to explain the problem, the market and the business model in a few minutes, and they often freeze when investors push back on their numbers or assumptions. A short session that explains what a pitch needs to contain, and how to answer questions without losing the thread, can help founders prepare better for application rounds, demo days and investor meetings.
National Incubation Center Faisalabad is Pakistan’s first agri-tech and tex-tech incubator, located at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad, and it is managed by Fauji Fertilizer Company with funding from the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication and Ignite National Technology Fund. The online format of the session means that founders from any city can join without travelling, and the 30 minute slot is designed to fit around a working day or a class schedule.
