Jason Edwards, representative of January Capital, highly appreciated True Platform’s desire to reach out to the world through technology products. “This is definitely a goal that’s worth a lot of time pursuing,” said Edwards. Alpha JWC Ventures and BEENEXT also both invested in Base.vn in 2018, seeing the startup grow more than 20 times in just three years. After the strategic investment in Base.vn in mid-2021, FPT Corporation continues to invest in True Platform, supporting not only capital, but also presence in the international market.

Previously, this team built Base.vn, a digital transformation platform used in more than 7,000 businesses in Vietnam.

In fact, True Platform received a commitment of capital exceeding $5 million with an additional investment proposal after the terms were completed. However, this startup chose to receive just enough capital for the long haul. “We fully understand the fierce competition in the international market and certain gaps in experience and technological capabilities. However, we believe in the ability of Vietnamese engineers given the opportunity to solve to world-class problem,” said the CEO of True Platform. This startup will develop and perfect the Product-Centric-oriented product ecosystem, expand the staff size, and build the first 100 people team as the current top priority.
