Vietnamese early stage startups show high potential but it is hard to find one that is investment-ready, opines Hajime Hotta, a prolific Japanese angel investor who set up Innovatube, a support programme for local engineers.
Hotta acts as the first backer and mentor for a number of Vietnamese startups which went on to secure funding from accelerators and venture capital funds. He is a serial entrepreneur and currently chairs video communication platform Cinnamon.
