Documented cause
MyanmarAI developed NLP and document automation AI for Myanmar's banking and telecoms sector, raising $2M and deploying in 8 enterprise clients. The February 2021 military coup shut down internet connectivity for 77 days and triggered international investment sanctions. MyanmarAI's enterprise clients suspended non-essential technology operations. The Series A investor withdrew citing political risk. The company evacuated staff and exited Myanmar.
Lesson
“Tech companies operating in Myanmar must maintain offshore development capacity and international banking — single-country dependence creates existential risk in a politically fragile state.”
