The market will be continued every Thursday in a single week.
The idea of Daffodil Startup Market is very simple. It is similar to Bangladeshi traditional Haat. If you are a student, if you have innovative products or services, the market welcomes you to create your own shop. You have to pay very small for the space to meet up the market utilities. The market owner will not take any profit or dividend .The profit will stay with the market for further expansion.
It’s a platform for young entrepreneurs to run their small business, to learn from experience. For example, if you have new products or services you can test the market values as well as you can compare your product from over here. The market will offer several training for entrepreneurs.
For example, if you have wonderful portraits. You have to accrue a shop to run your portrait business but you don’t have any professional training. Nothing to be worried the Market offers you training, workshop, mentorship to explore your creativity. In addition an entrepreneur can get real life experience how to convince customer, how to sell, how to buy, what are the limitations.
The market is ready to build your own business platform. If you have wonderful business idea but you don’t have the scope to make the dream true. Don’t let the dream drop. Search your potential partners through the market. Suppose, you can make wonderful handicrafts and you are searching for designer or seller. You can get your expected one from the market.
The interuniversity and the intra-university Startup Market will bring millions of scope to create your own business collaboration, cooperation and information as well.
The online startup Market will create international market for its entrepreneurs.

A hidden job is waiting for all class of graduate. The jobs you make yourself. The Startup market is a unique platform for young student to startup his/her own small business.
