Starting from healthcare to the food industry, every field has faced major challenges in its own way due to this unprecedented pandemic situation. With that being said, many startups in the technology sector are facing various difficulties because of this pandemic such as insufficient capital, unavailability of manpower or unavailability of an investor, reduced need in the market, etc… Out of the total global startup market, 70% of the startups have been deeply impacted by the covid-19 pandemic.
