We are VLP.

We are building Vietnam's first high school startup incubator. This is our manifesto.

Concretely:

We, a small group of students, are running Vietnam's first ever high school startup incubator. We're bringing together the smartest teenagers around Vietnam and give them a chance to go all-in on their craziest idea.

Here's what we offer:

• A community built around high standards, curiosity, and the mission to grow Vietnam's GDP through innovation and entrepreneurship.
• Tailored support for your biggest bottlenecks — accountability, focus, and relentless execution.
• Access to founders, investors, professors, companies, and industry experts from our network.
• Startup credits from Lovable, AWS, Notion, Microsoft, Google, and more.

Who are we looking for?

Ambitious Vietnamese teenagers 13–19 with huge chip on shoulder and wants to challenge themselves.

What do we believe in?

• Bold > Safe
• 9-9-6 culture
• Results > Ideas
• First-principles thinking: Question everything, break it down, and build from the ground up.
• We believe in growing Vietnam's GDP through innovation and entrepreneurship, and turning Vietnam into a startup nation.

What's the catch?

Viet Launchpad is a non-profit. We take no equity, and the program costs nothing. Absolutely no strings attached.
Hard to believe? We know, but it's true.
We're funded by sponsorships, and every dime goes into supporting you.

Important notes

Viet Launchpad is hardcore. We have high standards. If you're not meeting them, you're out. It will be long hours, hard work, and 99% chance of failure. We're not a startup accelerator/incubator, or a VC. We're something completely new. We're fully student-run.

Why apply?

It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see what you can achieve when you go all in. How much more time will you let slip away before taking action on your real purpose? We are not just on our personal mission, but our entire nation's mission.
