Arranging an appointment with Khoa is truly difficult. He is constantly busy, not only developing his passion project but also spending Saturdays and Sundays attending courses and seminars where domestic and international experts share their experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

A new project launched in 9\/2014. YUP! Academy visited the SmartCa project following a period of study and coaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Khoa joined a course at YUP! Academy in April 2014, nurturing a project to develop a mobile skewer-food system after completing the course. YUP! gave him extensive knowledge and practical experience to pursue it. Through YUP!, he also met a friend and older brother with the same idea. YUP! introduced him to Mr. L\u00ea Tu\u1ea5n Khoa (affectionately called CaCa), a participant in its August 2013 course who had a similar project. The two Khoa gentlemen discussed and joined forces to establish SmartCa Company, their first project together.<\/span><\/p>\n

SmartCa is a social network project connecting a community to share experiences of entertainment and leisure destinations in the future. Initially, it will focus on connecting caf\u00e9 systems in hotels and restaurants, where the community can share interesting coffee shops nationwide. The IT team is currently working day and night to complete the website for a planned community launch in 01\/2015. He has already raised a substantial amount of investment but still needs more to help the project progress smoothly. He confidently says that around seven to eight months after launch, it can break even and begin making a profit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below is a brief account of the conversation between Khoa and a representative of YUP students!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cListening to you describe your project, I find it somewhat similar to websites such as diadiem***uong.com or f***y.com. Are you concerned about facing powerful competitors and finding it difficult to compete?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Those websites are actually advertising sites whose sales teams approach businesses\u2026 Our social network, by contrast, is shared and created by the community itself. We also conduct extensive field surveys, asking and recording feedback from store systems, coffee shops, and customers themselves to develop the best methods and approaches for the community. That is why I am very confident that the project will develop well.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBesides working on your project, do you have other jobs\u2014such as administrative or company work\u2014to generate short-term income while pursuing your long-term goal?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018This is our passion. We felt the time was right, so CaCa and I decided to quit our jobs and devote ourselves to it full-time.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Moving from a stable income to a risky startup must have brought many difficulties. Did any of you ever feel even a little regret?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Once we found our passion, CaCa and I left jobs paying more than VND 20 million a month to pursue it. There have been many difficulties, but I have never regretted the decision,\u2019 he said with a hearty laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Thank you both. We wish your project strong and sustainable growth. YUP! Academy will stand alongside you in the future.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Thank you, YUP!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
