[Topica Founder Institute] Vietnam Startup funding 2015 reportQuang Mai Duy
The number of startup investment deals in Vietnam doubled in 2015 compared to 2014, with 67 deals recorded. Notable deals included a series C round for Foody valued over $10 million and the acquisition of Misfit by Fossil Group for $260 million. The top industries for deals were eCommerce, media, fintech, and edtech. While the number of deals grew, more exits, larger late-stage rounds, and more overseas investors were wished for in 2016.
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.

Studying the demand of Start-ups for Supporting Activities in Vietnam.
Recently, the ICT entrepreneurial scene in Vietnam has become more inclusive. This is definitely good for the economy with more dynamic and innovative companies contributing to the economy. However, the survival rates of them are low comparing to other countries in the region such as Singapore and Thailand. There are a lot of reasons causing the differences among survival rate of startup in different countries. One of the decisive reasons is the impact of supporting services to the establishment and long-term development of startups.

This document summarizes a seminar on supporting youth entrepreneurship. It identifies key challenges to youth employment like skills mismatches and difficult school-to-work transitions. Member states have implemented Youth Guarantee schemes and reforms to increase traineeships, apprenticeships, and labor mobility. The seminar highlights promising examples of countries integrating entrepreneurship education and start-up support into their Youth Guarantee implementation plans. However, some countries still lack strategic approaches to fostering youth entrepreneurship. The document emphasizes enhancing skills and guidance on entrepreneurship to facilitate youth labor market integration.
Entrepreneurs, according to Joseph Schumpeter, are responsible for creative destruction. They are the real drivers
economic growth and employment. Creation of entrepreneurship of such higher order would require Universities and Higher Education institutions (HEI) to include entrepreneurship and innovation as a part of their vision
and therefore embed, support and grow an entrepreneurship and innovation culture among management, faculty and students. This transformation, into what we may call the entrepreneurial university, would lead to wide ranging external collaborations and partnerships and enthusiasm to
engage even with the smallest economic and social entrepreneurs inside and outside the campus.

Why SEO’s Are Hated and 50 Things You Can Do About ItJustin McGill
SEO’s and really even digital marketers in general have a problem. No one likes us. That’s putting it mildly in some cases.
Here's what we can do to help change this perception!
Start Me Up is a monthly event in Vietnam that aims to support entrepreneurs and startups. It has been running for 9 months and has hosted over 1000 participants and 22 guest speakers.

This document provides case studies on various successful startups, including Facebook. It discusses how Facebook launched as an alternative to traditional student directories for Harvard students in 2004 and quickly spread to other colleges through word of mouth.

Key to Facebook's early success was providing an online community and information service that complemented existing offline college communities by allowing students to learn more about fellow students outside their direct social networks.
This document provides an introduction to Vietnam's startup ecosystem from Mike Tran, founder and CEO of Keewi. Vietnam has over 91 million people, 35% internet penetration, and a young population, with over 50% under 30 years old. While mobile usage is growing, most internet access is still through desktops and laptops. Payment options are still developing, with only 2.5% using credit cards. Running a startup in Vietnam can be difficult due to challenges finding quality talent and competitors prioritizing cash-on-delivery. However, some startups like Keewi, Giaohangnhanh, and Tiki have found success, with funding from VCs like CyberAgent Ventures and IDG

Tips for the Food sector: To keep up with this constantly shifting consumer behavior, look for early signs by using Google Trends to see how demand for certain food products or delivery services is changing to meet people’s needs.
Tips for Travel marketers: Our APAC travel recovery itinerary revealed that people have local trips and safety in mind, so marketers should seek to provide safety information upfront and present local product offerings and fun activities.
Tips for keeping people entertained: Though some people who signed up for a new entertainment source might stay, there’s also a higher likelihood of churn when their trial period ends. If you saw an increase in people signing up for your online products and services, focus on retention to keep them coming back, especially if you offered a free trial during the pandemic.
Tips for merchants: Make sure you integrate digital payment options for your consumers. Digital payments are expected to see a continued boost post-COVID-19, and trust in e-Wallets will likely increase.
Although there is still some instability, the internet sector in SEA is set to emerge stronger than ever in a post-COVID-19 world. The digital economy remains a bright spot in a very challenging economic environment, and e-Commerce remains a key driver of growth.

The Future of Fintech in Southeast AsiaFinch Capital
The document discusses the future of fintech in Southeast Asia. It notes that Southeast Asia provides a massive opportunity for both local and European fintech companies due to the region's growing internet and mobile adoption.

2) As an example, the speaker founded a taxi booking app called MyTeksi that addressed safety issues women faced taking taxis. It tracked rides and verified drivers to increase safety.
3) The speaker emphasizes the importance of identifying the key metric that matters for the business, like number of successful rides for MyTeksi, and optimizing factors that influence it rather than vanity metrics.
4) Pursuing a double bottom line provided MyTeksi benefits like partnerships, media attention, and an

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

CONSTRAINT
23. There’s a naïve perspective on how to make an organization that can bring an innovation to
commercial success, and those are:
1) a lack of the mindset to accept failure; not only amongst entrepreneurs themselves, but the
general business community in Vietnam and Asia
2) a lack of practical knowledge and understanding on how to commercialize innovations: such
as developing a business model, relationship build-up, having an investor’s perspective,
identifying a scalable market, deep customer understanding and a sense of customer
experiences;
3) and finally, a lack of teamwork and real innovation evidenced by too many “me-too” startups.
Vietnam Startup Festival
MYTHS
24. As you can see, the ingredients for positive economic development in Vietnam
can be observed in a robust and growing startup ecosystem.
While the startup ecosystem is apparent and operational, still there remain three problematic
issues at hand: a gap between the startup and the VC, a lack of innovation evidenced by many
“me-too” start-ups, and two critical gaps: siloing amongst potential innovation enablers, and a
lack of an angel funding network to bridge startups from incubator/accelerator status to VC-ready
status.
Fortunately, solutions are in the works, and for that reason, the Vietnam may actually pivot into a
positive direction, positioning it well for a future as a nation leading in the overall success of the
future of South East Asian nations.
