3. DISRUPTIVE VENTURES
Disruptive Ventures is a seed and growth stage investor in leading innovation-driven
companies in Vietnam and South East Asia.
We invest in ambitious business-minded entrepreneurs with the heart of sustainable
development.
We possess a unique approach to maximize the ventures in both business and development
aspects.
We use Disruptive Innovation as the key theory.
The focusing sectors are Information Communication Technology, Fintech, SaaS, IOT,
We aim for a 15 - 20 companies in a portfolio.
5. STRATEGY
Our objective is accelerating a startup by leveraging its exceptional founders in business for a
profitable outcome and development for a sustainable brand.
The main reason of failure in entrepreneurship is there are too many things to handle for
inexperienced and lack-of-resource founders.
Therefore, our startups shared a system of value-added activities which become smarter and
more suitable along the life of the fund. So that the founders have more time to focus what they
are good at and their own development.
Our strategy is based on both scientific theory and business experience.

Entrepreneurs focus mainly on product and team development.
Until the startups are ready to operate fully as a professional company, we provide access to
extra value supports including: Workspace, Law Counseling, Sale & Business Development,
Marketing Strategy Advisory, Talent Acquisition, Finance in the means of daily interaction,
training courses, mentorship and collaborative ecosystem.
Investors and Partners find it easier and more effective to capture the whole picture.

Disruptive Ventures provides less ROI compared to other VCs. Our target ROI is 20x - 50x.
We, however, guarantee significant brands with social impacts and sustainable development.

and steering the future companies to sustainable development.

order to gain the maximum knowledge of our startups.
The activities within the Network include: Founder workshops, Networking & Introductions,
Shared Resources, Investor and Partner Events, Best Practice Sharing, Significant Innovation
