Promoting Agency for Young Women Entrepreneurs in Myanmar and Beyond With Matt Wallace

After college, Matt Wallace sought life beyond the Illinois cornfields where he grew up. He moved with his wife to Myanmar to teach English, where he was struck by the influx of young women migrating into cities to send money back to their families. This inspired him to co-found ONOW, which provides business training, financial skills, coaching, and digital tools to Myanmar’s young entrepreneurs, especially migrant women. Discover Matt’s journey with ONOW — how the pandemic actually helped the company scale, the impact of Myanmar’s military coup, and how ONOW is integrating AI into its support tools to simplify financial reporting for its customers.
