B Combinator

The startup accelerator by Bamanovation — we back founders building for Myanmar and Southeast Asia.

What is B Combinator?

B Combinator is Bamanovation’s startup accelerator, modelled on the world’s best. Twice a year we take a small batch of early-stage teams and give them funding, hands-on mentorship, and the operating infrastructure of the whole Bamanovation group — from F&B and retail operations at BamBite to trade and logistics at Totals Inc.

We are founders backing founders. If it can be built from Yangon, Mandalay or Bangkok, we want to help build it — and we work in English, Burmese and Thai.
