VinaCapital Ventures

VinaCapital Ventures is the technology venture capital platform of VinaCapital Group, one of Vietnam's largest investment and wealth management firms. Launched in August 2018 from Ho Chi Minh City as a strategic partnership with Korea's Mirae Asset Capital and Naver, VinaCapital Ventures was structured as an evergreen $100M Vietnam-focused investment platform seeded directly by VinaCapital Group. The firm is co-led by VinaCapital Group's founding partner Don Lam, who has worked in Vietnam since the early 2000s and grew VinaCapital from a single $10M fund vehicle in 2003 into one of Southeast Asia's leading investment management franchises, and it is willing to lead. The deal team includes long-time Vietnam veteran Brook Taylor, formerly deputy managing partner of Deloitte in Vietnam, Partner Trung Hoang and Vice President Richard Han. The thesis is laser-focused on Vietnamese and broader Southeast Asian technology businesses that use asset-light, tech-enabled solutions to digitize and resolve inefficiencies in traditional industries: proptech, fintech, e-commerce and digital marketplaces, social commerce, agritech and food, edtech, healthtech, AI and SaaS. Fund 2, and a planned VinaCapital Ventures Growth Fund, target growth-stage deployments. Across approximately 35 disclosed portfolio investments, named names include livestream-commerce platform GoStream, proptech Homebase, B2B agritech Koina, digital rewards platform UrBox, facial-recognition fintech Wee Digital, video-conferencing platform Quickom and food-products company Innohas, its most recent reported investment in July 2024. Backed by one of Vietnam's largest investment firms, VinaCapital Ventures digitizes traditional industries across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
