Viet Youth Entrepreneurs (VYE), a US-based non-profit organisation backed by US publisher International Data Group (IDG), has started offering students work as interns in entrepreneurial environments, including start-up companies and venture capital funds.
The move follows its first bootcamp to encourage start-ups in Vietnam’s capital (pictured) last year with people going on to competitions in the US and Singapore through the Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students and Start-up@Singapore respectively.
Alongside IDG (which operates a corporate venturing affiliate in Vietnam) in backing VYE are Vietnam’s HCM City National University, local university Stanford’s Technology Ventures Programme and venture capital firm VinaCapital.
