The Mekong is coming online. We back the founders building for it.
A generation of founders across Myanmar, Thailand and the wider Mekong region is building for markets the rest of the world overlooks — hundreds of millions of people coming online, moving money, trading across borders and eating better. Bamanovation Ventures exists to back them.
We invest early — pre-seed to Series A — and we invest as operators. The group runs restaurants, retail, logistics and trading companies every day, so our capital comes with working infrastructure, not just advice.
