Venture capital (VC) investment is shifting away from saturated markets like the U.S. and China toward emerging economies, where growth potential remains high and risks can be mitigated with the right strategies. Among these, Vietnam is rapidly emerging as a top destination for global venture capitalists, thanks to its booming digital economy, youthful workforce, and dynamic startup ecosystem. In this landscape, Metti Capital Funding – a subsidiary of MettiTech Group Holdings – positions itself as a strategic bridge connecting Vietnamese startups with global investment funds.
Emerging markets: The new frontier for venture capital
Leading venture funds such as Sequoia, GGV Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz are diversifying their portfolios by seeking opportunities in emerging markets. The key reasons include:
-
Lower investment costs with higher potential returns compared to mature markets.
-
Rapidly growing startup ecosystems, particularly in fintech, edtech, medtech, AI, and blockchain.
-
Governments in many emerging markets are actively creating favorable policies for startups and foreign investors.
Among these emerging markets, Vietnam is gaining increasing attention.
Why Vietnam is capturing global VC interest
1. Stable economic growth & Young demographics
Vietnam boasts consistent GDP growth of over 6% annually and a youthful population – with 70% under the age of 35 – making it a vibrant consumer market and a hub for innovative talent.
2. Rapidly expanding startup ecosystem
With 4,000+ startups – many of which, like MoMo, Tiki, Sky Mavis, and Axie Infinity, have raised hundreds of millions of dollars from global funds – Vietnam’s startup scene is flourishing.
3. Strong government support
Programs like “National Startup Initiative”, tax incentives, fintech sandboxes, and investor visas have created an investor-friendly environment for both founders and backers.
4. Low operating costs & Large market potential
Vietnam offers significantly lower startup and operational costs compared to neighboring countries, while its nearly 100 million-strong domestic market and its gateway to Southeast Asia present vast scaling opportunities.
What venture capital needs from emerging markets
Despite the potential, emerging markets like Vietnam still present challenges such as regulatory ambiguity, expectation gaps, and limited global connectivity.
What investors need is not just opportunity, but also:
-
Rigorous project screening to identify viable startups,
-
Connections to serious, scalable ventures,
-
A local partner with deep market insights and a global vision to act as a strategic bridge.
