Hung Dinh, founder of J.O.O.M, said he began cherishing the idea about an online design tool in 2012. Creating a tool that helped design websites in 2003-2014, Hung’s Joomla.com has attracted 20 million users. In 2016, the Vietnamese technology community was stirred up by the ‘DesignBold phenomenon’, an online design tool which received first prize at Creative Business Cup Vietnam 2016 and the year’s startup prize at Startup Festival 2016. Politaire, a game for mobile devices, and DesignBold, an online design tool, are just two examples of successful technology startups. A report of the Ministry of Science & Technology showed that many Vietnamese technology startups have received huge investments, including Triipme VND10 billion, MoMo VND600 billion, GoiIt VND200 billion and Beeketing $150,000.
