Unique Challenges 
as a 
Tech Entrepreneur 
in Myanmar
• My plan is to come back and build a human 
resource in terms of a few designers and 
developers and work as an Android development 
company for the first 6 to 12 months.. When 
things become stable, I plan to shift my focus to 
my own product…..
• My assumption is that there will be a large 
increase in mobile phone users in Myanmar in 
the next one to two years.. Most people uses 
Android phones.. So it is likely that there will be 
demands for android app development 
especially from SMEs.. But I am not sure about 
whether it will be feasible to survive just as an 
android development firm.. Along the way, I plan to 
build a product as well and try to build a user 
base.. I have already gotten a MVP for my product 
idea..

• Reduce your expectation to 10%. 
• The development is slower than as it seems. 
• Triple the amount of your expected co$t. 
• Just choose one. Doing outsourcing or Doing your own 
product from day1 and stick to it. 
• Double the time required to stability. 
• You need at least 2 to 3 years to learn the lessons before 
your really start.
