The 1st wave: basics
Established from 2012 to 2014 or somewhere in the vicinity, the primary flood of new businesses were the principal buyer web stages, for the most part online commercial centers for autos, occupations, houses and travel. Regularly established by repatriates who had worked in Singapore or the West, these organizations included CarsDB, iMyanmarHouse, Oway and MyJobs, and Bagan Innovation Technology (Myanmar-dialect consoles) and Nexlabs (programming advancement).
Rocket Internet entered the market forcefully in 2013 with a stable of stages including house.com.mm, motors.com.mm, ads.com.mm. None of which are as yet alive today aside from Shop.com.mm. Respectable notices go to the incipient interpersonal organizations and visit applications which didn't have quite a bit of a possibility against the blue tide of Facebook that cleared the nation. The majority of the 1st wave organizations are either dead or overwhelming at this point, albeit new contenders can enter their business sectors anytime.
The second wave: specialties
From 2015 till 2017, the second-wave was characterized by more specialty offers. There was still a great deal of low-hanging natural product to be picked by duplicating effective abroad models in progressively concentrated markets. These incorporate organizations like Joosk Studio (advanced movement and outline), Bindez (web crawler and news aggregator) and Bagan Hub (B2B web based business).
Additionally incorporated into the second wave were fintech plays, regularly by corporates or local substances. These incorporate vast organizations like Wave Money, Reddot, Ongo and so forth, all endeavoring to stake out an area in the computerized installments showcase. A significant number of these organizations are starting to see genuine footing, as they cut out their specialty in the quickly developing computerized economy.
The 3rd wave: experiments
We are seeing from now onwards a third wave, characterized by more prominent experimentation, either with plans of action or with innovation. Witness Expa.ai (chatbot manufacturers), RecyGlo (reusing as-an administration) or Mote Poh (representative prizes coupons). While a portion of these models still can't seem to be approved, the biological community is in a solid state as business visionaries keep on developing.
A portion of this experimentation has been made conceivable by the section of institutional financial specialists and quickening agents, for instance Phandeeyar, whose quickening agent program has graduated 11 new companies and tallying. The hatchery/quickening agent space is ending up progressively swarmed, with Rockstart Impact, SeedStars, Impact Hub and all the more start to make their quality felt.
EME sees openings over each of the three rushes of new companies. CarsDB, one of their initial two speculations, is a main individual from the primary wave as undisputed #1 in online vehicle classifieds.
We'll keep on searching for organizations over this entire range as the Myanmar startup community grows further.
