Seedstars World, the global seed-stage startup competition for emerging markets and fast-growing startup scenes, is coming to Bangladesh for the first time on November 14th.

Seedstars World focuses on three major tracks: FinTech, TravelTech and StarTech. Each of these investment tracks will have a USD 500,000 equity prize for its winner. Various other prizes can be won outside the tracks such as the Space Prize, a USD 50,000 grant awarded by Inmarsat and AP-Swiss. All regional winners of the local events will be invited back to Switzerland to pitch at the final event. There will four local workshops on November 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 13th on FinTech, TravelTech, StarTech and Women in IT.

Other than the basic criteria for a seed-stage company–operating for less than 2 years with under USD 500,000 in funding and an available MVP–Seedstars World is also looking for smart startups that solve regional issues and/or develop profitable products for the global market.
