Email me new programs

Programs for Pakistan that are new to my list and whose deadline is ahead, one letter a week at most and only when something new fits. You confirm by email first; every letter has a link to stop it.

I keep your email, country and stage for this alert only. It is not a Wanna account and not the waitlist.

1 with a closing date, 1 rolling, 2 with no deadline found; passed deadlines are left out, amounts are the program's own words.

Programs open to founders anywhere: 21. See them.

A real example. On Raaha's case page, a wellbeing app on a Wanna OS of its own, Wanna prepares a first investor letter and application drafts, and every draft waits for the founder's OK. One honest note from that page: Raaha earned its first accelerator seat before Wanna existed, and Wanna does not claim that result.
