ascendvietnam.com ↗We invest in internationally iconic companies arising from Vietnam. We are particularly interested in fintech, edtech, future of work, enterprise SaaS, health tech, and logistics, but are happy to look at any tech or tech-enabled startup. Leveraging AI or blockchain technology is a plus. We want to be your first institutional investor. Our team has done seed investments in Axie Infinity (blockchain gaming and NFT pioneer), ApplyBoard (edtech unicorn), ELSA (later backed by Google's AI-focused fund), Trusting Social (Sequoia's first investment in a Vietnamese startup), and dozens of other companies.
