As part of its social
responsibility commitment, Social Champ partnered with Pledge1% to dedicate
its time and product to various philanthropic causes. By giving back, Social
Champ is ensuring that its success has a positive impact on society.
"Even before Social Champ, I
was committed to giving back to society, especially the university that gave me
my two co-founders by volunteering and training students on behalf of
Microsoft, Nokia, and now Meta (Facebook). However, with Social Champ, we had
the opportunity to give back on a bigger scale, so since its inception, we
decided to make policies that would help us do so. Apart from partnering with
Pledge1%, we are also committed to regularly helping those who cannot afford
social media management with discounts & cut-offs, especially after the
pandemic. This has enabled us to stay humble in the face of hardships and
maintain scalable success," said Sameer Ahmed, CEO of Social Champ.
The company is also committed to
mentoring and supporting the next generation of tech entrepreneurs. Khan is a
mentor at the Founders Institute, where he helps entrepreneurs launch
successful startups. Additionally, Social Champ's co-founders provide
one-on-one mentoring sessions to startup owners. The company is also part of
the Techstars batch, which encourages a #givefirst approach to all founders.
"Giving back to the
founders' community is so important," said Social Champ’s CEO, Sameer
Ahmed. "After all, you understand the struggles that they are facing right
now, so you are able to relate to them on another level," said Khan.
Social Champ's mission to give
back extends to solopreneurs and founders just starting their careers. The
company recently launched a powerful FREE tier with unlimited posting and all unlocked features, but
for only three social profiles. This innovative offer is aimed at helping these
businesses grow their social media presence without breaking the bank.
"We were working on a
dynamic free plan that can support and help all who are starting out with
social media and do not have the funds or the workforce to support a digital
presence fully. And last year, we were finally able to come up with one. Our
free plan is not limited in functionality or has anything locked. You can
access all premium features for three accounts without actually paying us at
all. However, as you grow, we would like to grow with you, so you can easily
scale with a higher plan whenever you like," said Shakir Ghani, COO of
Social Champ.

The company also mentors
university students and works closely with the University of Karachi's Computer
Science Department, UBIT, as alumni. By providing mentorship and support,
Social Champ is committed to helping the next generation of tech entrepreneurs
succeed.
Social Champ also offers a 50%
discount for NGOs and nonprofits for a lifetime. The company understands the
importance of giving back to society and hopes that this discount will help
these organizations achieve their missions more effectively.
