Discussion according to stage
Angel, fund or advisory. If it is not yet a fit, I will say so and refer you to someone better placed.
Frequently asked questions
Is an NDA required before sending a deck?
No. I assess the team and execution, not the idea in isolation. Submitted information is kept confidential under the Privacy Policy.
Do you invest personally or through VIC Partners?
It depends on the stage. At the earliest stage, when the idea is clear and the team has just formed: personal capital, or an introduction to other angels. Once the company has traction and is raising to scale: through VIC Partners, with full process and an investment committee. I will identify the right route after reading the deck.
What is the cheque size?
Angel: small cheques, early entry, long-term involvement. Fund: larger cheques with a tighter structure. Specific figures are discussed directly.
Is advisory and board work paid?
Yes, and capacity is very limited. Arrangements and fees are agreed case by case. I take on the role only where I can make a substantive contribution.
What is the response time?
Within five working days. Submissions introduced through my network are reviewed first.
Do you work with companies outside Vietnam?
Vietnam and Southeast Asia, with Vietnamese founders or founders of Vietnamese origin expanding into the region. Companies with no Vietnam connection: no.
What leads to the fastest no?
Short-term thinking. I play long games with people who think long term.
