About startups.bd
The intelligence layer for Bangladesh's private capital markets — companies, investors, deals, policy, sectors. Built for the people writing the cheques and the people raising them.
What we do
startups.bd tracks the Bangladesh startup ecosystem with the depth foreign investors actually need: who's building what, who's writing cheques, what regulators have just shipped, and what cross-border deal mechanics work in practice.
Who we're for
- Foreign LPs, VCs, and strategic capital evaluating BD as a market
- BD founders raising local or cross-border rounds
- Corporates looking at M&A, partnerships, or strategic investment
- Journalists and researchers covering South Asian tech
How we work
Every entity, deal, and policy entry on the site cites primary sources — Bangladesh Bank, BSEC, BIDA, RJSC, NBR — and is cross-checked against reputable BD newsrooms (TBS, The Daily Star, Dhaka Tribune, Future Startup) and tier-1 international outlets (DealStreetAsia, TechCrunch, Reuters). Full sourcing rules at /methodology.
