Funding and good infrastructures are the vertebrae of any country's startup skeleton. If we had to draw comparison between Bangladesh and other developed nations like Germany or the US, most Bangladeshi youths, who have the mentality to sail up the tide, think outside the box, and exhibit creativity suffer from a lack of a well organized, spontaneously driven, and strategically performed Start up infrastructure.

Bangladesh is still picking pace with the ideas of co-working space and venture capitalist funding.

Besides, to innovate, one needs an environment that lets the flow of ideas running and helps keep one's mind fresh. While a great number of economic zones are planned across the country, there is a lack of a term Startup City that is lively, colorful, and vibrant.
