What Makes AVV Founders and Friends Different
The First Few Months. Unfiltered.
Every episode focuses on the earliest, hardest days of building: the parts most founder stories skip because they're too messy, too uncertain, too real.
Vietnam and SEA, From the Inside.
One of the only podcasts focused specifically on Vietnam and the SEA startup ecosystem: early hires, PMF, fundraising, and regional expansion in a market most global shows ignore.
Produced by CrazyTok Media

What People Are Saying

“The C-suite hiring episode — that business problems are people problems — should be mandatory listening for every founder thinking about their first senior hire.”
“Hau and Adrian ask the questions nobody else is asking. That gap is exactly where the real learning happens.”
