Nextrans has published the 2023 Vietnam Startup Industry Report.

The year 2023 was a period of great turmoil. With the increase in interest rates, many funds moved from emerging markets to stable markets, and the reduction in demand caused by inflation had a significant impact on the industry.

However, IT startups have supported the increase in productivity and efficiency of the industry, leading to diverse changes and growth.

Check out the changes in Vietnam's 2023 industry and the composition of startups at the link below.

🐬 Ms. Le Han Tue Lam - General Partner of Nextrans, is joining Shark Tank Vietnam, bringing a strong appetite for sustainable investment in EdTech, AgriTech, and Green Technology startups.

🐬 With a focus on early-stage investment and continued support for startups in subsequent funding rounds, Tuệ Lâm brings a taste for sustainable investments as well as industries closely tied to Vietnam's core values, such as education technology, green technology, or agriculture technology, with investment values ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 USD. In special cases, startups with promising business models and truly visionary founders may receive investments of up to 1 million or 2 million USD.

🐬To make investment decisions, Shark Tuệ Lâm will rely on three criteria: the founding team, the market, and the product. "Good founders, but a market that isn't large enough or a product that doesn't thoroughly address the market's pain points are not the companies I am looking for," Tuệ Lâm shared.

Stay tuned and enjoy the first episode at 8:30 PM • Monday • 09/25/2023 • VTV3

NEXTRANS EVENT RECAP - NAVIGATING THE FUNDRAISING LANDSCAPE

On 23 May, Nextrans and Carta had the honor to share our data and insights about the current fundraising landscape and how founders can navigate it with all participants.

Regarding the current landscape, we see that Vietnam startups' valuation could fall up to 50% from their peak in 2021, many equity investors are taking steps back, also, regulations are set to be eased on startup financing as global volatility spooks investors. The number of deals in the first half of 2023 is decreasing considerably (11 deals) compared to H1 2022, mostly are growth and later stages deals, with a total funding amount of nearly $300M. Notable deals are: EQuest, BuyMed, Nhi D**g 315, F88, MindX.

Although startups in the market are facing many difficulties now, we strongly believe in the long-term prospect of Vietnam's digital economy.

The message from our CEO, Eddy Hong is: "Instead of having a short-term perspective and being indecisive, we should stay tuned and discover outstanding startups that will lead the Vietnamese market."

Besides, we got very insightful statistics and sharings from Carta and Pilon founders, about making decision on fundraising: organic growth or acceleration by funding, and also how to manage the fundraising journey effectively. Thank you to all of the participants who joined us, and contributed your interesting questions and idea.
