On November 26, 2024, BetterStories Limited hosted its highly anticipated Founders’ Office Hours.This exclusive session was tailored towards early-stage, impact-driven founders for one-on-one mentorship. This initiative highlighted BetterStories’ commitment to empowering changemakers in Bangladesh’s entrepreneurial landscape.
The event was specifically for founders seeking guidance in any one of these three key areas: Pitch Deck/Storytelling, Business Model, and Financial Model. Two dynamic founders, Kazi Hasib of Inception and Reathwan Ahmed of GrowB Technologies Limited, were selected for personalized mentorship sessions with industry experts from the BetterStories team. Each participant had the unique opportunity to present their vision, discuss challenges, and receive tailored feedback for their innovative ventures.
The sessions followed a structured format. Founders began by introducing their ideas and delivering a focused pitch. This was followed by in-depth discussions where our Chief Story Teller, Minhaz Anwar and Head of Strategy, Mashrifa Islam offered constructive feedback, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. The sessions also included an interactive Q&A segment, allowing founders to clarify their doubts and explore innovative solutions to their challenges.
In addition to expert advice, the event featured an introduction to the Toc Toc application by Biniyog Briddhi. The Toc-Toc is a resourceful initiative aimed at supporting early stage entrepreneurs in managing and scaling their impact ventures. Founders were guided on how the Toc Toc could enhance their operational efficiency and long-term growth strategies.
Feedback from the participants reflected the event's success. Both founders appreciated the candid advice, noting how the personalized guidance directly addressed their business needs. The Founders’ Office Hours reinforced BetterStories Limited’s mission to support an environment of learning, innovation, and empowerment.
