DoctorBear and DrobeBox, the two startups selected for VIISA Acceleration Program Batch 8 in Orientation Day
VIISA, a seed-stage fund that invests in startups from Vietnam, today announced the two startups that have been selected to the eighth batch of its accelerator programme.
The selected startups will receive a follow-on funding of up to US$200,000 from VIISA Investment Track if they manage to obtain funding from an outside lead investor.
Other than that, the programme –which is held fully online– is also offering startups the opportunity to connect with corporate partners and prospective investors throughout the three months.
“It is truly inspirational witnessing Vietnamese founders remain thriving throughout the COVID-19 pandemic time. Their strong determination in working with VIISA programme has once more put more pressure on the value creation philosophy VIISA has committed to,” Hieu Vo, CFO of VIISA, said in a statement.
The startups of Program Batch 8 and other startups of the VIISA alumni will be showcasing their businesses in December 2020.
