The National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. Department of State’s Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) Initiative, and Ratio Flux LLC have made the final selection of the innovation teams who will attend the virtual entrepreneurship and innovation training course designed to provide early stage Pakistani startup teams (including teams exploring an opportunity to start a company) hands-on experience with internationally-recognized best practices in technology commercialization.

At last year's GIST Tech-I Pitch Competition, we had a chance to talk with Dr. Iffat Zafar of Sehat Kahani about her startup, being a GIST Entrepreneur, paying-it-forward by being a GIST Mentor to new generations, and the role GIST plays in startup ecosystems. 

This month's GIST Alumni video profile presents Sadaf Naz, founder of Her Ground, an online subscription service that delivers feminine hygiene products to users’ doorsteps.
