Bangladesh startup funding hits five-year low in first half

Original: Investor hurdles drag Bangladesh startup funding to 5-year low in Jan-Jun

Startup funding in Bangladesh fell to its lowest level in five years during January-June, according to The Business Standard, which attributes the decline to obstacles facing investors. The report suggests difficulties in raising and deploying capital are squeezing the country's early-stage ecosystem, leaving founders with fewer financing options at a time when startups elsewhere in South Asia are also competing for scarcer venture funding.

Why now: The reported five-year funding low is a significant warning sign for Bangladesh's startup ecosystem and its founders and investors.
