Evidence snapshot for Yangon
Phandeeyar was an innovation lab based in Yangon that ran Myanmar's first equity-taking startup accelerator from 2016 to 2019, investing US$25,000 per startup across three cohorts and receiving a US$2 million grant from Omidyar Network. The 2021 military coup severely disrupted the city's innovation ecosystem: Phandeeyar's revenue fell approximately 76% in the coup year (2021), with no evidence of accelerator activity resuming after February 2019. The practice provides no quantified data on Yangon's broader economy or digital infrastructure beyond Phandeeyar's own financial performance.
