The last 5 years have seen a tremendous amount of growth in the Vietnam startup ecosystem, with a total of US$2.2 billion invested. This momentum of growth carries Vietnam into the 3rd decade of the 21st Century. The last 5 years have also seen not just an increase in funds coming to Vietnam, but also local funds being set up. However, it's no longer viable to be just a fund with money. The days of 'growing at all costs' are gone, replaced by meaningful and sustainable growth. Investors are now expected to be responsible for how they invest, and such responsibilities include certain best practices in areas of environmental, social, and corporate governance.
