The document discusses characteristics of successful tech startups in Vietnam. It finds that on average, founders of successful startups were older at 28.8 years when starting their first successful company. They tended to gain experience through multiple jobs and startups before striking out on their own. Many had international exposure through work or study overseas. Successful founders also customized proven business models from other countries and were relentless, treating their startups like a marathon rather than a sprint by spending over 5 years on average building their companies. The document advises emulating these factors or being exceptional in other ways, but emphasizes taking action to actually start and build a company.
This document discusses 5 trends in Vietnam startup investment and mergers & acquisitions from 2012-2013. The trends are: 1) Startup investing has not slowed down though deals are smaller. 2) E-commerce, mobile, and edtech are attracting more deals. 3) Startups are targeting global/regional rather than domestic markets. 4) Japanese investors are increasingly active. 5) Strategic investors are making early-stage investments in addition to acquisitions. The document also provides details on some notable startup success stories and exits in Vietnam.

Mobile users are leaping forward in Vietnam, with lesser cities and rural users expected to leapfrog the PC journey. While internet usage among youth is saturated, mobile adoption is expected to significantly grow among those aged 35 and older, changing the online journey. As consumers spend more time online at home competing with or complementing TV, advertising needs to follow consumer eyeballs online where 9 in 10 rely on the internet for news over entertainment. However, trust remains a barrier to online purchasing.
The document provides advice on seeking funding for startups. It recommends proving your concept first before asking for money by building a prototype, getting customers, and collecting real-world data. This will make your startup more attractive to investors and allow you to get funding at a higher valuation. While funding can help with growth, not all startups need outside investment. The document suggests going as long as possible without outside money and only seeking funds if your cash flow cannot support the business.
