INVESTMENT STRATEGY

ITI FUND

Vietnam, beyond being a Southeast Asian nation rich in a uniquely profound cultural heritage, currently finds itself in the advantageous position of a golden demographic period. This is characterized by an augmented quality in its workforce and an open economy, poised to embrace emerging trends. Leveraging these competitive advantages, we aspire to collaborate with enterprises and startups in their early stages (Seeding, Pre-series A, Series A), offering investments ranging from $100,000 to $1.5 million USD. Our criteria for potential partnerships are straightforward and encompass the following:

Local specialties

Emphasizing the comprehensive incorporation of local specialties' value is imperative in the startup production and development process. This encompasses sustainable material sourcing practices and the application of traditional, regionally distinctive techniques.

Break-through technology foundation

The foundational business model should hinge on groundbreaking technologies, addressing pressing societal issues, staying abreast of current trends, and featuring future expansion strategies into the international market.

INVESTMENT THESIS

ITI FUND

Based on the above investment strategy, we evaluate the suitability of our partnered enterprise or startup via the following investment thesis:

Sustainable development (ESG)

Foremost and integral to our assessment procedure at ITI is the consideration of Environmental Friendliness, Social Development Capability within the community, and the implementation of an optimal business management model (Governance). These key elements constitute the cornerstone of our evaluation process, underscoring our commitment to sustainable and socially responsible investment practices.

Business model serving large domestic and foreign markets

Vietnam emerges as a prospective market, boasting a nearly 100 million-strong population and a continually improving average GDP per capita, reaching approximately 3,694 USD per person in 2021. Notably, the country's middle class exhibits the fastest growth rate in Southeast Asia as of 2020. Furthermore, Vietnam's total export performance ranks 16th globally in 2020, marked by a commendable 16% growth in value in 2021. These pivotal indicators underscore the compelling appeal of both the domestic market and the nation's export potential. In alignment with our early-stage investment strategy, particularly in Seeding and Pre-seeding stages, ITI Fund transcends conventional considerations limited to innovative products, services, or business models. Our emphasis extends to prioritizing startups and projects capable of meeting the demands of both the domestic and international markets, reflecting our nuanced approach to investment discernment.

Human factor

Human expertise is pivotal for innovation in businesses, shaping their very existence. ITI exclusively collaborates and invests in projects led by co-founders with deep knowledge and hands-on experience in their field. These leaders must also be adaptable to market changes, adept at connecting with teams, and committed to an entrepreneurial spirit. This stringent criterion reflects ITI's commitment to partnering with ventures led by capable and visionary individuals.
