Vietnam's Bubbling Market
summary
Vietnam has ~95 million people, 6.8% GDP growth, and half under 35; mobile-first consumption explodes but only about half the population is online, leaving a massive underserved rural market. Startups like CocCoc claim ~25M monthly users and Pops reports 27 million monthly users on kids content; investors write typical checks of $1–5M. Winners focus on sticky education, healthcare, SME tools and local content; risks are fickle low-ticket demand, regulatory change, US–China geopolitics and weak on‑the‑ground investor presence.
