VietED has advised the social start-up eco-system players. Our leadership is invited by the accelerators, start-up event organisers to address as key note speakers or to be a part of the selection panel for investment worthy start-ups. VietED helped 4 start-ups with angel investment and also worked with one on its go-to-market strategy. This involved working with the start-up ti improve its business model, wholesale distribution strategy and marketing and branding. VietED will also work on a market research to explore the possibility of venturing into retailing for the start-up.
Through the CARE-AWEEV project, VietED has supported 7 women-led startup models in two provinces, Ha Giang and Lai Chau. The support activities have been diverse, including detailed business plan development assistance, capacity building in business skills, sales training, and interest-free loans for production development. This has contributed to enhancing the economic empowerment of women, especially within ethnic minority communities.
