Is early stage investment facing a crunch?

Nov 30, 1.30pm-2.10pm

Startups live on dreams, and with some small funding, these dreams transform into big disruptive industries, at times redefining how we live. But with early-stage funds now growing into later-stage funds, are we facing an early-stage investment crunch? With the maturing ecosystem in the region, and Vietnam, is it still 'cheap' to invest in early stage? Are there still value to be had?

Speakers:

Koichi Saito - KK Fund,  Retno Dewati - Fenox Ventures, Zhen Hui - Captii Ventures, Germaine Inez - Found. Ventures

Growing your startups beyond home turf

Nov 30, 2.20pm-3pm

Unlike in the SV, SEA startups are pressured to scale beyond their home markets, often times earlier than when they're ready. Is this healthy?

While SEA is a fairly large market, twice of the U.S. (325m) and 150m more than EU (513m), it is still a highly segmented region. Is the wide diversity of our region a disadvantage for SEA startups in terms of growth?

Speakers:

Lana Duong - OpenSpace Ventures, Jane Prescott - AddVentures by SCG, Albert Shyy - Burda Principal Investment, Michael Blakey - Cocoon Capital, Nguyen Trung Anh - Phoenix Holdings

Moderator: Aim Charoenphan - Hubba

The Viet Money

Nov 30, 3.20pm-4pm

In the last 18 months, at least 5 new funds came into play, right here in Vietnam. With the exception of Vinacapital Ventures, all the funds are $20m and below. Meet some of these actors and see what ‘damage’ they’re doing to the local ecosystem.

Speakers:

Vy Le - ESP Ventures, Eddie Thai - 500 Startups, Khanh Tran - Vinacapital Ventures, Pho Pham - Viet Capital Ventures

Moderator: Leo Pham - VIISA

Workshop

Nov 30, 3.30pm-4.15pm

Workshop host: James Tan, Chairman of Business Angel Network of Southeast Asia and Managing Partner, Quest Ventures

The Ko Rush

Nov 30, 4.10pm-4.50pm

In the last year, at least 6 investments came out of Korea, with another 4-5 in the next few months. What’s the sudden interest in the Vietnam startup ecosystem? What future do these Korean VCs see in the VN ecosystem? What strategies do they have to gain deeper foothold into our ecosystem?

Speakers:

Louis Ryu - Shift, Charles Rim - Access Ventures, Chris Chae - Nextrans

Moderator: Yon Heong - Editor, e27

Exit Potential and Strategies

Nov 30, 5pm-5.40pm

2 unicorns each in ride-hailing and logistics, and e-commerce. How do you see these playing out? Consolidation or decimation? Once and for all, is Uber's exit a good or bad thing?
