Partner Fund 1Cohort 150 companies
Funding and a team for Bangladeshi AI founders.
Money and help from our team for founders at the idea or MVP stage, building for customers outside Bangladesh. We set up your company and help with startup programs, so you can focus on the product.
01Why we’re doing this
The hard part usually isn’t the product.
If you’re building an AI product in Bangladesh for customers abroad, the hard part is often everything around the product.

06Questions
Common questions.
Is this an investment?
No. The funding is non-dilutive: we take no equity and no share of your revenue. It is a partnership with conditions, and we explain all of them before anything is signed.
Who provides the funding?
BrainAI Team pays it directly.
Do I pay anything?
No. You won’t be asked for an upfront payment at any point. We cover the fees for registering your company.
Why do I need a passport?
Registering a company and verifying it requires one. It goes only to the authorities and licensed providers handling that, never to us.
What are the conditions?
Conditions apply. We go through every one with you on a call before anything is signed, and you decide from there.
Does it matter where my customers are?
Yes. The fund is for products built for a global market.
How many startups are you taking?
Cohort 1 has room for 50 companies.
