Abstract:
Being launched by the end of 2023, Start-up Coach serves as a combined mentor and consultancy platform aimed at filling the "Mentorship Vacuum" that has long persisted within the startup community of Bangladesh. Founded with the "Empower to Excellence" vision, Group Masterclasses and Fractional Advisory (Consultant Residency Programs), along with initiative-driven programs, help startups develop from ideas to fully funded businesses. Within the first operational year, it has successfully acquired more than 100 global mentors and 15 institutional partnerships, helping 13 major startups, such as G-widgets and Sarbojaya, raise capital investments between 1 Lakh and 1 Crore BDT. Even as Start-up Coach is entering the scaling phase, the startup has embraced the idea of remote work, thereby paving its way into the UK and UAE markets. Since the startup model has been tested, along with the history of turning ideas into successful ventures worldwide, the platform is set to become a significant catalyst for the growth of the international startup ecosystem.
