Open Call for Applications for Catalytic Funding

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the startup ecosystem of Bangladesh is at grave risk of losing more than TK 450 Cr. In such times of peril, Biniyog Briddhi is here to give access to catalytic funding for impact entrepreneurs. Biniyog Briddhi is a multi-year program by Roots of Impact, LightCastle Partners, and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

On the 5th of April applications were opened for two of the funding schemes of the program; Impact Ready Matching Fund (IRMF)  and Social Impact Incentives (SIINC). The IRMF is designed to provide matching funds of up to 100,000 USD while the SIINC ranges up to 250,000 USD – depending on the magnitude of impact the startups are generating. Impact enterprises and startups can access the application here.
