Our story

The story starts with only 3 persons. Mustafiz, Samad and Fayaz had an idea of developing the startup ecosystem of Bangladesh. So, they made a documentary which later on revolutionized the scenario of the ecosystem of Bangladesh. Taking small steps, after just 6 months of the production of the documentary, they incorporated a company which is now known as STARTUP DHAKA. From there, these 3 have worked tirelessly for tech based startups to ease the journey from idea generation to MVP to fundraising.
Startup Dhaka always tries to spread the ins and outs of the current scenario of startups in Bangladesh through their SDasia site. It is now one of the biggest startup focused news site in Bangladesh. Know about it here. Startup Dhaka has its own incubator and accelerator programs partnering with different companies interested in developing this ecosystem. We run accelerator program with Grameenphone and provide top notch tools and facilities for startups which were selected from tons of applications.
On February, 2018, Startup Dhaka launched its online learning platform Upskill. Upskill focuses primarily on capacity building of the unemployed and technical & vocational skills development for the employed.
