TechJuice uses Cursor, the AI coding tool, to ask whether Pakistan can build globally successful technology companies at home. Its account says Cursor co-founder Sualeh Asif studied at MIT and built the company in the United States, drawing attention to the gap between Pakistani talent and the opportunities available locally.

The piece argues that AI tools could lower some barriers for small teams, but its wider funding comparisons and forecasts are not needed to make the central point. For Pakistan’s startup scene, the question is whether talent can find the capital and conditions to build locally, not merely whether it can compete abroad.

Discuss: Should governments focus on keeping founders and investment at home, or make it easier for people to build successful companies wherever they are?
