Growing up in a family business and having experiences opening my own business in high school gave me many insights into business structure and operational processes. Living in a developing country like Vietnam, I realized that many great business ideas and start-ups cannot be put into practice due to the lack of investments and angel investors in the market. This problem ignited my passion for Venture Capital, and that's when I found Fordham Angel Fund.
