ABOUT OUR COMPANY

About Us

With over a decade of experience in business development, market expansion, and operational execution, East West Ventures (EWV) was founded to help businesses successfully enter, scale, and thrive in Vietnam. We have partnered with companies from Belgium, the U.S., Australia, and Vietnam, delivering results-driven strategies that lead to tangible, long-term success.

But EWV isn’t just a consulting firm—it’s a response to a critical gap in the market. After years of working in Vietnam and beyond, we saw firsthand how businesses struggled to expand efficiently, hire the right teams, and build sustainable operations. Many wasted months and significant capital navigating bureaucracy, dealing with unreliable partners, and facing costly restructuring—all because they lacked real execution support.

We founded East West Ventures not just to advise—but to build, execute, and lead businesses to success. Our expertise lies in:

Market Entry & Expansion – Ensuring smooth, strategic, and compliant market penetration.
Business Structuring & Operations – Setting up the right legal entities, processes, and execution frameworks.
Recruitment & Talent Strategy – Hiring and building high-performing teams.
Partnership Development – Connecting businesses with key decision-makers and vetted local partners.
Financial & Compliance Advisory – Ensuring stability, efficiency, and risk mitigation.

East West Ventures was founded by Gauthier D’haenens, a Belgian entrepreneur, born in Vietnam, who has bridged the gap between East and West throughout his career. With deep experience operating in both worlds, he understands the cultural, business, and strategic nuances that make or break expansion efforts.

At EWV, we don’t just provide reports—we execute. We work alongside our clients, ensuring that every step of the journey is precise, strategic, and results-driven. We don’t just help businesses enter Vietnam—we build the foundation for them to scale and thrive.

WHY WE EXIST

Expanding into Vietnam is complex—legal setup, hiring, compliance, and partnerships can quickly become expensive mistakes. Most companies waste months and thousands of dollars on trial and error, struggling with bureaucracy, bad hires, unreliable vendors, and regulatory missteps. Many firms provide reports, but when it comes to execution, you’re left to figure it out alone.

That’s where East West Ventures comes in. We eliminate the uncertainty, wasted time, and financial risks by ensuring you make the right decisions from day one. No costly mistakes, legal delays, or unreliable partners—just clear strategy, smooth execution, and trusted expertise to help you scale with confidence and focus on what truly matters: growing your business.

OUR VALUES

At East West Ventures, we work with those who move, build, and create. Our partnerships are built on shared values, aligned vision, and a relentless drive to execute.

We Work With Builders & Doers – Those who take action, not just talk. Visionaries who turn ideas into reality and refuse to be stuck in analysis paralysis.
We Value Speed & Precision – Execution matters. We move fast, adapt faster, and operate with clarity, ensuring every step is deliberate and impactful.
We Align with Those Who Take Ownership – No excuses, no waiting for permission. We partner with leaders who take responsibility for their growth and success.
We Work with People Who Play the Long Game – Quick wins are nice, but we focus on sustainable impact, scalable structures, and enduring partnerships.
We Demand Integrity & Trust – Business isn’t just transactions—it’s relationships. We build on trust, transparency, and mutual respect.
