Third Culture Vietnam
Investment Pitch Deck
(Last Updated: June 9, 2026)
Investment Opportunity
Third Culture Vietnam has reached an important stage of growth.
Over the past several years, we have built a highly engaged global community centered around culture, identity, storytelling, and experiences. Through organic growth, community trust, and meaningful programming, we have demonstrated demand for a different approach to connecting people with Vietnam.
We are now focused on building the operational foundation required for our next phase of growth.
Capital Raise
Seeking: $25,000.00 - $30,000.00 USD
Primary Use of Funds
Tourism Licensing & Compliance
Obtaining Domestic and International Tourism Licenses in Vietnam, including required regulatory deposits, registration, legal support, and compliance infrastructure.
Operations & Team Development
Strengthening operational systems, contractor support, guide development, and business infrastructure required to scale responsibly.
Marketing & Audience Growth
Expanding awareness through content production, strategic partnerships, community-led marketing initiatives, and audience development.
Experience Development
Creating new Heritage Tours, Saigon Experiences, workshops, educational programming, and future creator-led experiences.
Media & Storytelling
Investing in documentary storytelling, cultural content, and community-driven media projects that strengthen the overall ecosystem.
Capital Strategy
While we are seeking up to $30,000 USD in growth capital, we do not anticipate deploying the full amount immediately.
Approximately $14,415 USD is allocated toward tourism licensing and compliance requirements.
The remaining capital will be preserved as working capital reserves and deployed strategically alongside operating revenue generated through Heritage Tours, Saigon Experiences, private experiences, and community programming.
Our objective is to use investment capital to strengthen infrastructure, improve profitability, and support long-term growth rather than fund day-to-day operating expenses.
Proposed Structure
$25,000–$30,000 USD Loan
• 0% Interest
• 36-Month Repayment Period
• Repayment begins 90 days after tourism license approval
• If tourism license approval is not obtained, loan principal is repaid and no equity is issued
Equity Participation
Upon tourism license approval:
5% Equity Participation
This structure aligns investor upside with the long-term growth of the company while minimizing risk during the licensing process.
Strategic Advisory Partnership
Beyond capital, we believe experienced guidance can accelerate growth and strengthen decision-making.
Advisors are invited to participate through:
• Quarterly strategic reviews
• Growth and expansion guidance
• Financial and capital allocation oversight
• Industry introductions and partnership opportunities
• Ongoing access to leadership for discussion and feedback
Day-to-day operations remain the responsibility of management.
Why This Investment Matters
Third Culture Vietnam has already validated demand through multiple Heritage Tour seasons, growing community engagement, strategic partnerships, and recurring revenue-generating experiences.
This investment is designed to unlock the next stage of growth by securing tourism licensing, improving margins through direct operations, strengthening infrastructure, and creating a foundation for long-term scalability.
We view this investment not as working capital for survival, but as growth capital for expansion.
The Problem
Millions of people travel each year not just to visit new places, but to reconnect with culture, family history, and identity.
For the Vietnamese diaspora, this opportunity is significant. More than 5.3 million overseas Vietnamese live across 130+ countries and territories, many seeking deeper connections to their heritage through language, culture, family history, and personal exploration.
At the same time, traveler preferences are changing. Over 70% of travelers prioritize authentic local experiences, while 73% seek experiences that reflect local culture and community.
Yet most travel experiences remain focused on sightseeing rather than connection.
Few experiences are intentionally designed around cultural reconnection, identity, belonging, and community, creating a gap between what travelers are seeking and what the market currently provides.

Growing Demand

Market Gap
Few community-first brands serve diaspora travelers through identity-driven experiences
Our Solution
Third Culture Vietnam creates community-driven cultural experiences that help people connect more deeply with Vietnam, with others, and with themselves.
Through Heritage Tours, city experiences, community events, and storytelling initiatives, we combine:
• Cultural immersion
• Community building
• Local perspectives
• Shared experiences
Unlike traditional tourism, our experiences are designed around connection rather than consumption.
We believe people are not simply looking for places to visit.
They are looking for meaningful ways to engage with culture, build relationships, and find a sense of belonging.
Hosts, not guides.
Community, not transactions.
Connection, not consumption.

Business Model
Third Culture Vietnam generates revenue through Heritage Experiences, Saigon Experiences, and community programming. Our flagship Heritage Experiences are built around a unique host-led model, partnering with trusted storytellers, creators, and community leaders who bring their own perspectives and audiences into the journey. Saigon Experiences operate year-round, providing recurring revenue and introducing new participants to our ecosystem. Together, these offerings create a scalable platform that combines culture, community, storytelling, and experiences while generating opportunities for repeat engagement, referrals, partnerships, and future growth.
Tourism License Roadmap
Obtaining Domestic and International Tourism Licenses represents a key milestone in the next phase of growth for Third Culture Vietnam.
Today, we have validated demand through multiple Heritage Tour seasons, established supplier relationships across Vietnam, built a global audience of 48,000+ followers, and generated revenue through experiences, events, and community programming.
The next step is strengthening our operational infrastructure through full tourism licensing.
This investment will help us transition from operating through third-party tourism partners to operating more directly, improving both profitability and long-term scalability.
Current Status
Heritage Tour model validated (Completed)
Revenue-generating experiences operating (Completed)
Supplier and hospitality relationships established (Completed)
Licensed guides and local partners engaged (Completed)

Tourism licensing and compliance infrastructure in progress (Pending)
Licensing Requirements
To obtain Domestic and International Tourism Licenses in Vietnam, Third Culture Vietnam must complete the final regulatory, financial, and compliance requirements outlined by Vietnamese tourism authorities.
Already in Progress:
Tourism Manager Qualification Requirement Met
We currently have five licensed guides and tourism professionals within our network who meet tourism management and certification requirements.
Licensing Process Reviewed with Legal Advisor
The licensing structure, requirements, compliance obligations, and application process have been reviewed with legal counsel and tourism industry advisors.
Operational Infrastructure Established
Heritage Tours, Saigon Experiences, supplier relationships, hospitality partnerships, and guide networks are already operating and in place.
Pending Completion:
Enterprise Registration & Regulatory Compliance
The Vietnam tourism entity will be registered under Loan Trương. The current business address will be utilized during registration, with plans to establish a dedicated office location by late 2026 or early 2027 as operations continue to expand.
Tourism Authority Licensing Fees
Pending funding and application submission.
Domestic Tourism Security Deposit
Required regulatory escrow deposit.
Pending investment funding.
International Tourism Security Deposit
Required regulatory escrow deposit for inbound tourism operations.
Pending investment funding.
Legal, Translation & Administrative Filings
Application preparation, translation, notarization, legal review, and government filings.
Pending investment funding.
Ongoing Compliance & Reporting Infrastructure
Accounting, reporting, and regulatory compliance systems required for licensed tourism operations.
Pending investment funding.
Expected Timeline
Once funding is secured, we anticipate the tourism licensing process can be completed within approximately 3–4 weeks, based on guidance received from legal counsel and tourism industry advisors.
The primary barrier to completion is not operational readiness, but securing the required regulatory deposits, licensing fees, and compliance funding.
This investment is intended to bridge that final gap and enable Third Culture Vietnam to operate directly under its own tourism licenses.
Expected Impact
Obtaining Domestic and International Tourism Licenses is expected to:
• Reduce dependency on third-party operators
• Increase operational control and flexibility
• Improve supplier negotiations
• Retain a larger share of revenue internally
• Increase profitability across Heritage Tours and Saigon Experiences
• Create a stronger foundation for future expansion
The tourism license is not simply a compliance requirement.
It is a strategic investment that supports both growth and profitability.
Tourism License & Compliance Budget
The estimated cost to obtain Domestic and International Tourism Licenses is approximately $14,415 USD, with the majority of funds allocated toward refundable regulatory security deposits required by Vietnamese tourism regulations.
Use of Investment Capital
While we are seeking up to $30,000 USD in growth capital, we do not anticipate deploying the full amount immediately.
Approximately $14,415 USD is allocated toward tourism licensing and compliance requirements.
The remaining capital will be preserved as working capital reserves and strategically deployed alongside operating revenue generated through Heritage Tours, Saigon Experiences, private experiences, and community programming.
This approach allows us to strengthen infrastructure, improve profitability, and extend runway while continuing to grow through revenue-generating operations.
Team & Operational Infrastructure
Third Culture Vietnam operates through a lean leadership team supported by certified guides, freelance operators, creative professionals, and local partners across Vietnam.

Scalable Operating Model
Beyond fixed operating expenses, Third Culture Vietnam utilizes a network of certified guides, freelance operators, drivers, and local partners who are engaged on a per-project basis.
This model minimizes fixed overhead while allowing the company to scale experiences, events, and tours based on demand.
As of 2026, our operating structure enables us to maintain a monthly fixed overhead of less than $700 USD, providing flexibility while we continue expanding revenue-generating experiences and tourism operations.
Working Capital & Runway
Of the proposed $30,000 investment:
• Approximately $14,415 is allocated toward tourism licensing and compliance requirements.
• Approximately $15,585 remains as working capital reserves.
Based on our current fixed operating costs of approximately $698 per month, this represents:
22+ Months of Runway Before Accounting for Revenue
This calculation excludes revenue generated through Heritage Experiences, Saigon Experiences, workshops, events, retreats, and future partnerships.
Capital Strategy
Our goal is not to use investment capital to fund daily operations.
Our goal is to use investment capital to secure tourism licensing, improve margins, strengthen infrastructure, and create a foundation for sustainable long-term growth while ongoing revenue supports day-to-day operations.
