Kalsoom Lakhani is the Founder and CEO of Invest2Innovate, supports and unleashes the potential of young entrepreneurs in growing markets like Pakistan. She's also partner at I2I Ventures, Invest2Innovate's early stage investment fund for Pakistan, and the country's first female-founded institutional fund. She's trained young entrepreneurs and changemakers in Kosovo, Nepal, Cambodia, Ireland, Bangladesh, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan.
Kalsoom is a third culture kid, which means that she spent most of her developing years outside of the country she was born in and have picked up on all different cultures. She lived in Bangladesh for elementary school and Pakistan for middle and high school. A third culture kid can feel like they belong everywhere and also belong nowhere, so their identities can be hard to pin down. This plays into how their identity develops as well.
