The Last Pitch

A True Story of Slums, Struggles, Startups and Scars

What if your final shot was all you had left?

Born in the tribal highlands of Pakistan, Qamar Abbas never had privilege — only persistence. From sipping chai under flickering hostel lights to fighting betrayal, debt, and jail time, The Last Pitch is not just a startup story. It’s a raw, fearless journey through the real battlefield of entrepreneurship.

No Silicon Valley. No funding fairy tales. Just grit, blood, belief — and one last pitch that might change everything.

This isn’t motivation.

This is survival.

And this is your front-row seat.

About the Book

The Last Pitch is a raw, deeply personal, and powerfully human story of an entrepreneur's relentless pursuit of a dream—told not to impress, but to inspire, awaken, and seek help. It is the true journey of a young founder who rises from the forgotten tribal town of Parachinar, Pakistan, carrying nothing but ambition, resilience, and a vision to build something meaningful.

The book takes readers through the author’s formative years filled with childhood trauma, societal limitations, and moments of emotional solitude. It traces the winding path of his entrepreneurial life—from humble beginnings to failed startups, painful betrayals, staggering debts, and even unjust imprisonment. Yet, through every fall, the author rises again with greater determination and a bigger dream.

At the heart of the story is BREE, a socially conscious café brand rooted in the principles of community, affordability, and inclusivity. More than just a startup, BREE represents a movement—a place where young people from all socioeconomic classes can connect, feel valued, and dream without fear of rejection or exclusion.

But The Last Pitch is not just a story—it's a final plea for support. Through this book, the author seeks to rally global readers to help revive the mission: by buying a copy, spreading the word, investing in the brand, or simply believing in the cause.

This is not a polished Silicon Valley tale of venture capital and hockey-stick growth. It’s the unfiltered voice of a struggling founder, from one of the toughest regions of the world, daring to dream in the face of impossibility.

This is The Last Pitch—a story of pain, hope, grit, and the timeless belief in human kindness.
