The Student Startup competition supports youth entrepreneurs, serving as a platform for high school students to showcase their business ideas. The competition provides students with a remarkable opportunity to showcase their talents, validate their business ideas, and gain experience.
The Student Startup competition celebrates students who have the passion and drive to be the next generation of entrepreneurs. This pitch competition welcomes selected high school students to pitch their latest business ideas to a panel of industry experts and a live audience at Flairfest01 to be organized in January in Lahore, Pakistan.

- Both national and international applicants are eligible.
- Solo entrepreneurs and team applicants qualify.
- The competition is not limited to specific business categories and all types of startups are welcome.
Each finalist will have a set amount of time to present their business idea. The live panel of judges will then have time to ask each finalist clarifying questions.
After each finalist has presented, the panel of judges will recess and evaluate each finalist using the following rubric:
- Creativity and Innovation:How original and groundbreaking is this idea?
- Product Clarity:How established is the current state of development of the product? Is there a specific problem or need the startup is addressing and intended for?
- Market Potential:Who are the target customers, end users, or beneficiaries? How accessible and effective is this product for its intended users?
