Mohi Zaman: Investing in a Better Bangladesh by Empowering its Entrepreneurs
Mohi: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Anchorless Bangladesh is an early-stage Venture Capital firm investing in Bangladeshi founders and startups. With one of the lowest early-stage funding per capita (at less than $1) among its peers, we are on a mission to make Bangladesh more accessible to global capital, having already introduced a couple of first-time investors to the country. This closing of the talent-to-capital mismatch not only democratizes ideas but creates an environment for startups to grow and thrive. Personally, I engage across all functions of the investment process, conducting workshops and sharing high-quality resources.

Shazeeb M Khairul Islam: Unleashing Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Social Impact
Shazeeb: We are a ‘globally connected’ locally rooted ecosystem in Bangladesh that is driven by social and environmental consciousness. We believe in a world where socially and environmentally conscious entrepreneurs are empowered and equipped to combat the challenges of creating a world of three zeros: zero net carbon emission, zero wealth concentration for ending poverty, and zero unemployment by unleashing entrepreneurship in all. We invest in socially and environmentally conscious entrepreneurs who are solving crucial issues of our times benefitting the underserved communities. I have a passion for social change and I am super happy to try and do something by harnessing the power of social business.

Mazbahul Islam: Meeting Rural Bangladeshis Where They Are, With an Ambulance

Mazbahul: In Bangladesh, 105 million people are residing in 68,000 villages. In those 68,000 villages, only 1200 ambulances are available for the 105 million people. That being the case, there is only 1 ambulance obtainable for 88,000 people. As a further scenario, among those 1200 ambulances, below 7% of them have paramedics to assist the patient in time of emergency. It is even uncertain whether those ambulances, regardless of having a paramedic or not, operate properly or not.
