[Support Partner] Fund the Future: AI Builders × Investors
At LOTTE Ventures Vietnam, we believe that access to the right investors, not just capital in the abstract, is often the missing piece for Vietnamese startups ready to scale. Direct, real-world connections with funds can compress years of relationship-building into a single event.
That is why we are pleased to share Fund the Future: AI Builders × Investors, a real fundraising competition for Vietnamese AI startups organized by The Edge Alliance (operated by Fresgen Joint Stock Company), with Snappp AI as AI advisor. The program gives startups the chance to pitch directly to investors, with standout teams recognized through 5 honoring titles at the Grand Finale.
Finalists pitch in front of 25 domestic and international VC judges evaluating live.
Program highlights:
- Direct pitch access to 20+ domestic and international VC funds, with ticket sizes up to USD 1,000,000 per deal
- 1-on-1 pitch deck and fundraising strategy advisory ahead of the pitch
- A shot at the Grand Finale on 15.08.2026
- Media coverage across the organizers’ channels and press partner network, plus Due Diligence support after the program
- 5 honoring titles (“Top AI Startup — Fund the Future 2026”) awarded at the Grand Finale
Who can apply: Startups building AI, Tech, E-commerce, or other technology-applied products or services, founded by Vietnamese founders or operating in Vietnam, at any fundraising stage (not yet raised, Pre-seed, Seed, Series A and above), with a product ready to demo (MVP or further along).
Timeline: Registration closes 11.08.2026, with the organizers confirming within 48 hours.
Demo Day and Audition take place 14.08.2026 at SIHUB, and the Grand Finale takes place 15.08.2026.
