Empowering the Builders of Tomorrow

At COLABS, we began with a simple mission: to enable founders, solo entrepreneurs, and freelancers to build and scale their businesses and careers. In 2022, we set an ambitious goal: to empower 100,000 entrepreneurs and freelancers across Pakistan within 5 years and we’re taking another bold step toward that vision. 

Introducing the Freelance Fellowship

The Freelance Fellowship Program (FFP) is a 10-week accelerator-style initiative by COLABS designed to supercharge the careers of 100 emerging freelancers across Pakistan.

From financial literacy workshops to mentorships sessions and soft skill development, the program helps freelancers move from working in isolation to thriving in a collaborative ecosystem.

FFP is part of COLABS impact Initiatives under our CoGrow vertical, focused on empowering Pakistan’s freelance economy — one of the country’s biggest digital success stories. By bringing structure, mentorship, and scalable growth support to freelancers, we’re shaping the future of work in Pakistan.

A First-of-its-Kind Commitment

COLABS is offering 100 free coworking seats worth $32,000 - the largest private workspace support package for freelancers in Pakistan to date. This is more than a program; it’s a movement to help freelancers grow, connect, and lead.
