A new cohort of founders is ready to accelerate, with the LUMS Centre for Entrepreneurship welcoming Cohort 3 of the LCE Slingshot Accelerator Programme to an orientation session at its campus. The gathering gave founders an opportunity to introduce their ventures, connect with fellow entrepreneurs, meet the LCE team, and explore the facilities and resources that will be available to them throughout the programme, setting the tone for what the founders can expect in the months ahead.
This cohort brings together startups working across a wide spread of sectors, including edtech, AI, healthtech, climatetech, agriculture, e-commerce, SaaS and sustainable consumer products. From AI-powered assessment and business tools to assistive healthcare technology, circular economy solutions and new digital marketplaces, the cohort reflects a genuinely diverse range of ventures, each built around addressing a specific, real market need rather than chasing a single trend across the group.
Joining the third cohort are AIDE AI, Habib Aziz Farms, TIFAQM, SehatBunyad, SKILLABs, Aitisal, HEXA AI, Dealio, TEKXS, PLAN8 Packages, Juno Technologies, Fazier, ChemFusion, Strydix Robotics and The Lakri. The mix of names spans AI-driven education and health tools alongside agriculture, packaging and robotics ventures, giving the cohort a notably broad technical and sectoral footprint for a single accelerator intake.
Over the coming months, these founders will work on building out their ventures, forming new connections, and preparing for the next stage of growth as they move through the Slingshot programme. LUMS Centre for Entrepreneurship said it looks forward to seeing where each of these founders takes their ideas next, continuing its role as one of the country’s academically anchored accelerator programmes working to push promising startups toward their next milestone.
