Investment thesis
Ethos Fund invests at the earliest stages — often writing the first check — in pre-seed, globally ambitious startups based in Vietnam and the United States. The firm centers its approach on 'third culture' founders: leaders with the mindset to adapt, grow, and succeed while remaining authentic across multiple worlds. Ethos emphasizes long-term partnership, treating startups as a marathon rather than a sprint, and prioritizes founder character, curiosity, community, and bold mission-driven vision. It seeks founders aiming to improve the future of humanity and provides sustained support beyond initial funding.
