For me — Momenul Ahmad, founder of SEOSiri — the hardest part of being a founder in Bangladesh’s digital space has been building belief before business. Many still see SEO and digital strategy as costs, not growth investments. Educating clients, earning trust, and proving long-term value takes real persistence.

Another major challenge is funding — access to early-stage capital for digital startups here is limited, which makes scaling even harder.

But these obstacles push innovation at SEOSiri — turning doubt and scarcity into creativity and sustainable digital growth is what makes the journey worth it. 🚀
