Understanding VC is a deep dive on how Venture Capitalists work. In this episode, I talk to Tu Ngo, the Founder and Chairperson of YOLA, a leading company dedicated to a hybrid English education in Vietnam. She is also the founding General Partner at Touchstone Partners, an early-stage Vietnamese VC focused on sectors including healthcare, education, manufacturing, and climate action. Tu shares with our audience her successful journey amidst challenges while building YOLA at a time when the internet and e-commerce had barely taken off, and the reason behind her decision to become a VC. She also divulges her list of do’s and don'ts when it comes to finding the right co-founders and investors as a budding entrepreneur, and enumerates the benefits of working on the team of an early-stage startup. Towards the end of the episode, Tu explains the Touchstone Fellowship Program which has been especially designed to aid founders in nurturing their ideas.
