About Binh Tran

Binh Tran is a Silicon Valley veteran who co-founded Klout (backed by Kleiner Perkins) and relocated from San Francisco to Ho Chi Minh City around 2020 to build Vietnam's tech ecosystem, making him a rare repeat founder-turned-VC who physically moved from the Bay Area to invest locally. His first Vietnam-focused fund achieved an unusually high hit rate by seeding three companies at the earliest stages that later became unicorns, while AVV's entire 10-person team operates on the ground in Vietnam to provide hands-on mentorship combining his US scaling experience with deep local market access.
