In the dynamic world of startups, raising capital is one of the biggest challenges, especially in a rapidly developing market like Vietnam. Dat Bike, an innovative company from Da Nang, recently closed a remarkable Series B financing round, raising $22 million. This brings the total capital raised to an impressive $47 million. This success is a testament to the company’s determination and strategic ability to attract investors and position itself as a leader in the electrification of personal vehicles.
However, the path to successfully raising capital is anything but easy. Nguyen Ba Canh Son, the founder of Dat Bike, reports that the process of preparation and negotiations took around two and a half years. During this time he met with around 250 to 300 potential investors. It took another six months from the receipt of the term sheet to the completion of the formalities. This lengthy and complex phase highlights the importance of developing a consistent strategy and involving the entire leadership team in the process.
A key factor in Dat Bike’s success has been its ability to build strong relationships with investors. Direct contact with the senior partners of the investment funds proved crucial as they make the final decision on the investment. In addition, the support of a so-called ‘champion deal’ within the investment fund was of great importance. In this case, an expert from Jungle Ventures helped attract additional investors to Dat Bike, which paved the way for successful financing.
In the Asian and Southeast Asian investment landscape, venture capital funds often take a pragmatic approach that focuses on economic efficiency. Investors look for startups with a clear business model and growth potential. Dat Bike’s success story shows that an unwavering belief in one’s own vision, coupled with perseverance and alignment with global megatrends, is crucial for attracting investment capital. With the support of the city of Da Nang and the political framework, the region could become a model for innovation-based growth.
