# Founder's Talk: From Startup to Scaleup

Tue, 28 Oct | Belgo Belgian Craft Beer
Fireside Chat + Networking Night | 28 October @ Belgo, Ho Chi Minh City

Scaling a business isn’t about chasing the next big milestone — it’s about learning how to build something that runs, grows, and lasts.

This month’s VRF Networking Night brings together founders who’ve built their businesses from the ground up — not celebrities, but real operators who chose entrepreneurship over employment, and learned what it truly takes to grow a profitable, sustainable company.
Join us for an evening of honest conversations about the scaleup journey:

• How do you keep your business profitable while expanding?
• What changes when you move from hands-on to structured operations?
• And what kind of team and systems help your business run without you?

Moderated by Nhi Hong (Founder, SOSP Consulting), this fireside chat creates a relaxed, founder-to-founder space for shared learning and connection — over good Belgian beer and genuine stories of growth.
