Why did we initiate....initiate?

Initiate began as a passionate group presenting our solution for the National Geographic Slingshot Challenge. While we didn't take home a prize, the experience was invaluable: we realized the significant gaps in tools, resources, and monetary support preventing countless individuals and small organizations from successfully launching their own initiatives. This crucial insight sparked a deeper mission, inspiring us to turn our concept into something real; a platform dedicated to empowering every initiator.

Our mission

We're on a mission to empower the changemakers of Bangladesh. We believe that great ideas shouldn't be held back by a lack of resources. Our goal is to provide a single, unified platform that combines everything an initiator needs- from accessible funding and expert knowledge to a collaborative network and powerful impact-tracking tools- to launch and scale their initiatives with confidence and clarity

Our vision

We envision a future for Bangladesh where no great idea for social change is left behind. Our vision is to build a system that gives every visionary individual the community and opportunity to turn their passion into tangible, real-world impact.

Our team

Our strength lies in our individuality. Set up by Esther Bryce, the team strives to bring in the best talent in various fields, from architecture to interior design and sales.
