About the documentary

Within Dhaka's 16 million population, an exciting community is brewing, and it's led by a very small group of people. By forging a startup community and by using the power of Internet, they're out to prove that despite many problems they are building new and exciting businesses. This is their story.

Who and Why I am making this film


Hi my name is Mustafiz. I am working as an angel investor, marketer and a photographer shuttling between Singapore and Bangladesh. I am making this documentary for 3 reasons:

1.To tell the world that there are few amazing people working on some fantastic ideas right here in Dhaka

2.Through this film we want to build a startup community

3.To tell all local startups that Startup Dhaka is here to help

Through this short documentary (approximately 30 min), we want to inform the world that startup founders are experimenting with ideas like Dugdugi in music, Chaldal.com in grocery shopping, Newscred in news media, Urban Launch Pad in transportation, the list goes on. And to help the community, organisations like EMK, Shetu, Google business group, 1 degree initiative and others have created places for exchanging ideas.

This is Startup Dhaka, a story about possibilities.

And your contribution will make it possible to bring this story to the world.


When and Where will it be screened 

The film will be launched in YouTube and Chanel I (a local cable tv channel) in November (2013) during “Global Entrepreneurship” week. It will be free for all to watch and share.

If this film interests you, please share it on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, or LinkedIn. The more interest we have the better the film is going to be.

What We Need 

We need about TK. 671,500 or US$ 8,500 to produce and properly share this film with the world.  In this campaign we have set the bar at  8,500 USD, and are hoping we can raise a little more than that (around 10,000 USD). The additional fund will be used to cover costs of 4% IndieGoGo’s fees (for successful campaign) and 3% third-party payment processors charge. 

The funding will go towards the cost of equipment rental, various post-production processes such as color correction, the on-line mix, sound and keeping our team fed and hydrated in Dhaka. We have done everything we can to keep costs as low as possible and most of the people working on the film are volunteering their time to help make this possible. 

Although digital cameras have changed the way we are able to create films, the reality of filmmaking is that it’s still an expensive enterprise, especially if you want your film to have a polished look and sound. Even when making a short film, there are so many practical costs to consider such as equipment, location, transportation, etc. But we’ve still managed to condense our budget to a place where we are able to save money without sacrificing production value. The majority of the crew are donating their time, but there are still resources that we need to pay for.


What You Get

We appreciate any support you're able to give!                                           

Starting from just $10 or Tk. 800, there is a funding level for anyone interested in supporting the film.

For as little as $20 (Tk. 1500), all individual supporters will be able to get their name in the film. If you want to help out even more then check out the rest of the rewards:  T-shirts, Associate Producer credits,  Executive Producer credits, etc.

We also have levels for local companies and organizations to get involved by sponsoring the film by getting their logo displayed. 

If you’re a business, organisation, or person who would like a customized reward or sponsorship, please email me at startupdhaka@gmail.com to talk more about options.
