BSIC is building its investment function from the ground up. The CIO will define how we invest, build the team that executes it, and establish the standards that make BSIC credible to the world's best founders and co-investors.
Bangladesh Startup Investment Company PLC (BSIC) is the country's national venture investment platform. Its inaugural vehicle — ONKUR, Bangladesh Fund I — is a USD 35 million pool of institutional capital from 39 commercial banks, launched in May 2026 under Bangladesh Bank's mandate to channel 1% of net profits into startup financing.
BSIC operates as a commercially governed investment institution with an independent Investment Committee, deploying alongside global venture capital firms into Bangladesh's most ambitious startups. The platform is designed to compound over decades, with successive funds drawing on a renewable pool of bank capital and crowding in additional institutional investors.
This is not a role in a mature fund. It is a builder role — requiring genuine investment conviction, institutional ambition, and the ability to construct systems, culture, and a portfolio simultaneously.
The CIO leads the investment team, serves as the principal investment voice in IC deliberations, and is accountable end-to-end: from origination through exit.
Someone who has built conviction over a decade of real investing and wants to apply it to one of the most dynamic and underserved ecosystems in the world.
BSIC offers a compensation package benchmarked to international VC standards — competitive base, performance-based incentives, and long-term value-creation components aligned with fund performance. The structure is designed to attract practitioners for whom the scale of the opportunity matters as much as the package.
A rare opportunity to build the investment engine of a nationally significant institution — and to help define the future of venture investing in Bangladesh.
