2021 was a record year for venture capital (VC) investments in Vietnam, driven by a maturing technology startup ecosystem, an increasing number of later stage investments, and rising participation from both local and foreign investors eager to tap into Vietnam’s burgeoning digital economy, a new report by Silverhorn says.
OnPoint, a Vietnam-based e-commerce enabler, announced Friday it has raised $50 million Series B funding led by SeaTown Private Capital Master Fund, a fund managed by SeaTown Holdings International (SeaTown), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings. SeaTown’s investment will be the largest private investment in the Southeast Asia (SEA) e-commerce enabler industry in the last five years.
