Who we are

More Than a Community. A Platform for Possibilities.

Talent in Pakistan is not in short supply. Visibility is. LinkUp Pakistan puts the people doing real work in front of the people who can hire them, back them, or build something with them.

We make talent visible, bring freelancers and business owners into the same room, and put the right person in front of the company that needs them.

Our mission

To make good work in Pakistan easy to find.

We look for the people doing something worth seeing, put it in front of the right audience, and make the introductions that turn into real projects.

Our vision

A Pakistan where who you know is not the only way in.

Where a freelancer in Multan is as findable as one in Karachi, and work gets noticed on the strength of the work.

What we do

From getting noticed to getting hired.

LinkUp works at three points: making talent visible, getting people into the same room, and putting the right person in front of the business that needs them.

Who we serve

Who this is built for.

Freelancers, entrepreneurs, creators, professionals and business owners. From a student landing their first client to a founder scaling a team. And the businesses on the other side of that, looking for people who can do the work.

Your field is not on the list? Apply anyway, we will look at the work. Apply for Spotlight or tell us what your business needs.

Featured talent

Some of the people we have featured.

Every Spotlight is a working freelancer or founder in Pakistan, reviewed by a person before it goes out.

What we stand for

What you can expect from us.

Three things we do not bend on, whoever is asking.

Reviewed by a person

Nobody is featured automatically. A person reads every application, and if the work does not hold up, it does not go out. The Spotlight fee is refunded in full within 48 hours.

Open to anyone doing real work

A student with three clients and a founder with a team go through exactly the same review. Follower count is not the qualification.

Introductions, not just posts

Being featured is where it starts. We put people in touch with each other, with our events, and with the partners who can actually use their work.

Partnership

The organisations we build this with.

LinkUp Pakistan is a community partner of NDA Digital Skills. NDA trains students in practical digital skills, and LinkUp helps them and other talent get recognised. The partnership is part of Zain Ali’s Vision 2030.
