From small base to 24-25 people
We started around 2021/2022 and built a Vietnam operating team across multiple business lines.

Positioning
Not a report factory. A local operator's first-pass judgement.
Most SMEs do not need a thick market-entry plan at the start. They need an honest read on whether Vietnam is worth time, money, travel, hiring, property, inventory, or a partnership push.
We combine AI-assisted research with practical Vietnam operating experience across construction fit-out, co-working, retail distribution, and founder support. The output is clear: fit, risks, next actions, and useful routes.
Operating Proof
We have built businesses in Vietnam, not just studied the market.
This gives clients a different conversation: less theory, more local judgement around timing, people, premises, setup, cost, and execution risk.
From low six figures to seven-figure run-rate
Our combined businesses are currently on course for approximately USD 1.2M-1.5M in annual sales.
Fit-out, workspace, retail, and distribution
We understand Vietnam through daily business execution, not only desk research or third-party interviews.
