ThinkZone Ventures

ThinkZone Ventures is a Hanoi-based venture capital firm founded in 2018 and positioned as the largest local-resourced, homegrown VC firm in Vietnam, bridging the country's local business powerhouses with its next generation of startups. Led by Founding Partner and CEO Bui Thanh Do, the firm backs tech-enabled startups across fintech, edtech, e-commerce, logistics and transportation, healthcare and consumer goods, investing from Pre-Seed to Series A, and it is willing to lead. Historically ThinkZone has written checks of up to $3M per startup, while its latest vehicle, Global Minds Fund I (GMFI), its fourth fund, writes up to $1M per company and prioritizes teams with Vietnamese elements that show strong potential for international expansion and positive social impact. The firm now manages the most startup investment funds in Vietnam, including GMFI and the BK Fund, the Hanoi University of Science & Technology innovation startup investment fund, which ThinkZone took over via a controlling stake in BK Investments JSC in June 2025; total committed capital across its vehicles is around $50M or more. ThinkZone is backed by prominent Vietnamese conglomerates such as IPA Investment Corporation, Phu Thai Holdings and Stavian Group. Its portfolio of roughly 15 companies includes EMDDI, a ride-hailing platform for traditional taxi fleets, FoodHub in fresh-food e-commerce delivery, GIMO, an earned-wage-access fintech for blue-collar workers, and eJOY in English-learning edtech. By combining homegrown corporate backing with hands-on support, ThinkZone Ventures backs Vietnamese founders building locally and expanding globally.
