The network invests in a variety of fast-growing industries, including financial technology, livestock agricultural enterprise, international trading, food and beverage, media and entertainment, mining, renewable energy, telecommunications and computing, property management, education, hotels, automotive, and transportation. For example, Venue 36 Group demonstrates its visionary approach to agriculture and its dedication to reshaping traditional industries through its investment in Myanmar Farm. By introducing the concept of corporate farming, it has successfully revolutionised agriculture and transformed the lives of female entrepreneurs, allowing them to venture into the cattle and goat farming markets. This initiative successfully empowers local communities and contributes to both food security and economic resilience. On their experience with Myanmar Farm, Khin Hlaing, Goat Farm Owner, comments, “Joining Myanmar Farm’s corporate farming project has been a turning point in my life. Being a part of this initiative, I now own my own goat farm. It’s incredible how the project has provided me with access to the resources, training, and financial support that I needed to start and grow my business. It’s not just about the goats; it’s about creating a sustainable future for myself and my family. Myanmar Farm has made this possible, and I can’t thank them enough.” Moreover, Venue 36 Group demonstrates its dedication to supporting micro, small, and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs) through its investment in M BOSS, an online platform that enables the creation and provision of invoices to known payer companies. By providing efficient and accessible financing solutions, the company empowers businesses to tackle their financial challenges, maintain smooth operations, and leverage opportunities to grow. In this, M BOSS eases the burden on MSMEs and strengthens the overall economic ecosystem. M BOSS has received positive feedback from a number of small business owners like Yin Min Htet, who shares, “I am the proud owner of a small business, and the support from M BOSS Invoice financing has been a gamechanger. As an MSME owner, managing cash flow used to be a constant challenge. Thanks to M BOSS, I have been able to access quick and hassle-free invoice financing that has kept my business afloat during tough times. Their transparent and efficient process has given me the confidence to focus on growing my business without worrying about financial constraints.” It is evident that the work of Venue 36 Group does not stop at providing promising startups with funding.
