Young entrepreneurs came with many such questions to the ‘GP Accelerator Info Session’ held at the co-working space in Banani called Moar. Entrepreneurs were overly excited to know about the program so that they can apply with their own startup. All the queries regarding the application process for the GP Accelerator program were answered. The info session was conducted by Mustafizur Rahman Khan, CEO and founder of SD; Fayaz Taher, co-founder of SD Asia; and other team members of GP Accelerator. Reza-Ul-Kabir, founder and CEO of Jolpi attended the program with so many queries about the accelerator program. He said most of his questions were answered in the session. Quite a few people asked if they can take part in the program from idea stage. Another query from the audience was if they can participate being a single CEO and founder of the startup. To answer their question, GP Accelerator team informed that participating startups must have a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and the teams must have at least two co-founders.SD-Asia PHOTOS: SD ASIA It’s also possible to participate in the program with a new product under an established organisation. The info session talked about the process of providing the seed fund in two steps.
