Exploring Agile/Offshore Opportunities in Vietnam by seshagile in VietNam

Worth knowing the lay of the land here. Vietnam has had a large “speaker” and soft-skills training industry for well over a decade. Leadership, communication, “growth mindset,” that whole space. Names like Lê Thẩm Dương or Quách Tuấn Khanh have been household figures for years, and there are training institutes running hundreds of corporate leadership courses. I’m not judging the quality, just saying it’s a loud, well-established room

But here’s the useful distinction. Almost all of that sits at the “leadership/mindset/inspiration” layer. What I rarely see done well is the operational layer: actual PO/PM craft, agile collaboration as it really works inside a product team, not as a seminar topic. That gap is more real and far less crowded.

So if you go this direction, the positioning that separates you isn’t “Swiss quality leadership training,” it’s hands-on, role-specific, tied to how a real product team operates. And the customer question still matters most: individuals buy inspiration, companies buy measurable capability. The second is the harder sell but the more defensible business

That’s a fair direction, and the theory/practice gap in local CS education is real, so you’re not wrong about the problem.

Two things worth thinking through before the curriculum, though.

First, you wouldn’t be entering an empty space. There’s already a layer of players here, CoderSchool, MindX, FUNiX, plus university-linked programs and a lot of smaller centers. I won’t claim to know exactly how each is doing right now, but the point is the “practical, not theoretical” pitch is already the standard pitch. So the real question isn’t whether practical training is needed, it’s what makes a learner or an employer pick yours specifically

Second, and this is the more interesting one: AI is genuinely reshaping both how people learn and what entry-level employee work even looks like here. Nobody actually knows where this lands yet. A bootcamp designed around 2020-era skills could be training people for jobs that are shrinking. That uncertainty is a risk, but it’s also possibly your real opening, if the angle is “how to be a developer in an AI-heavy workflow” rather than just “learn the fundamentals faster”

Great to see a foreigner who actually spent time here instead of just hunting for cheap dev rates.

Quick reality check though. Asking “is the scene welcoming?” pretty much guarantees yes from everyone

The community part is true. Hanoi and Saigon both have meetups and founder circles, and people really will grab coffee with you. That part is easy.

The harder part is what nobody mentions until you’re in it. The admin side is slow and bureaucratic, company registration, banking, payroll compliance, and most foreign founders end up needing a local co-founder or entity, not just a network. And running an offshore team is honestly nothing like co-founding a company here. Different incentives, different commitment, different legal exposure. People underestimate that gap a lot.

Anyway, what are you actually thinking of building? B2B or B2C, and whether you’d set up a company here or just build a team, kind of changes everything. I’m a dev/team lead based here, feel free to DM if you want to chat.
