Announcement date: January 27, 2026 · 2080 Ventures
We have announced a new phase of our Southeast Asia expansion, selecting Vietnam as the starting market for this initiative.
Our focus is on supporting founders through acceleration, ecosystem partnerships, and early-stage investment. The move extends our work with entrepreneurial communities in the region and creates a basis for developing relationships with local founders and partners.
DealStreetAsia reported the expansion on January 24, 2026, and we shared the announcement through our company channels on January 27. We look forward to building relationships with founders and ecosystem partners as this next phase develops.
Building a regional presence
Vietnam is the starting point for this phase of our Southeast Asia expansion. The work brings together three activities: startup acceleration, relationships with local ecosystem partners, and early-stage investment. Each provides a different way to understand founders’ needs and connect local opportunities with our international network.
Our wider regional activity also includes Cambodia Startup Launchpad and work helping Korean startups explore Singapore. The related stories below show those programmes in practice.
