AI Corporate Venture Singapore Indonesia Cloud Computing 2 Minutes

When one of Vietnam’s largest conglomerates sets its sights on tech, you pay attention. Enter VinVentures, a $150 million corporate venture fund born from the powerhouse Vingroup and helmed by Vietnam’s youngest “shark,” Tue-Lam (Jessica), Backed by Phạm Nhật Vượng, Vietnam’s richest man and Vingroup’s founder, VinVentures isn't just cutting checks. It's building the next wave of Southeast Asia’s unicorns.
From Corporate Muscle to Startup Catalyst
VinVentures brings more than capital. It delivers access to one of Vietnam’s most far-reaching business ecosystems: from electric vehicles (VinFast) and real estate to healthcare and education. The fund’s mission is crystal clear: empower early-stage startups with transformative technologies and plug them into the Vingroup universe to scale faster.
As Managing Director, Tue-Lam brings credibility and savvy. Formerly with Korean VC firm Nextrans, and a well-known face from Shark Tank Vietnam, she blends global VC thinking with deep local insight.
Deep Tech with a Local Core
VinVentures is betting on the long game. Its portfolio focus lies squarely in the future: AI, cloud computing, and semiconductors. These sectors reflect Vingroup’s own tech ambitions, but also where Vietnam can develop competitive global advantages.
The fund invests at Seed and Series A stages, typically writing checks in the hundreds of thousands to low millions. Startups don’t just get funding—they get strategic partnerships, market access, and sometimes Vingroup as a first customer.
And while Vietnam is home base, VinVentures is thinking regional. With eyes on Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines, the fund is building bridges between Vietnamese innovation and the broader Southeast Asian ecosystem.
What’s in the Portfolio?
VinVentures’ first wave of deals includes both legacy and new bets:
-
VinAI – Vietnam’s most advanced AI lab turned enterprise provider.
-
VinBrain – Healthcare AI startup using deep learning to assist radiologists.
-
StoreDot – Israeli ultra-fast EV battery tech, now partnered with VinFast.
-
Filum AI – Vietnam’s answer to customer experience automation, with a fresh $1M seed round and regional VC co-investors.
These aren't just investments, they're strategic growth engines for Vingroup’s industrial and digital future.
Building Vietnam’s Tech Future
VinVentures isn’t waiting for the ecosystem to mature, it’s shaping it. Through initiatives like Venture Forum, investment reports, and ecosystem partnerships with Vietnam’s National Innovation Center, the fund is helping define what early-stage capital should look like in the country.
This is Vietnam’s deep tech decade, and VinVentures is placing its bets early.
