What NextTech Group of Technopreneurs does

NextTech Group of Technopreneurs is a Hanoi-headquartered diversified technology conglomerate founded in 2001 (originally as PeaceSoft) that operates as a portfolio of 16+ independently led technopreneur subsidiaries targeting the Digitised Commerce (D-Commerce) ecosystem across Southeast Asia. The group is organised into four business verticals: Fintech payments (Nganluong.vn, AlePay, Vimo, mPoS.vn, Nextpay), E-commerce enablement (Sales Bot/Chatbot, CNV Loyalty, Coolmate, LandiPage, MySpa), E-Logistics and Mobility (Boxme, HeyU, FastGo), and Social/Education (TopCV, Schola, Tick Education Myanmar). It employs 1,200+ staff across 8 countries — Vietnam, China, Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia — with additional market presence in Myanmar and North America.

The group's core technology assets include Vietnam's pioneer online payment gateway (Nganluong.vn), the first mobile-based card payment acceptance unit in Vietnam and SEA (mPoS.vn), a mobile wallet (Vimo) with exclusive co-branding agreements with MobiFone, Mastercard, and Visa, an e-commerce fulfillment network (Boxme) enabling cross-border SEA selling, and a chatbot platform supporting Messenger, Zalo, and WhatsApp. TopCV, the job platform subsidiary, has scaled to nearly 3 million candidates and 95,000 employers, with 150,000+ monthly candidate-recruiter connections and 80%+ of CVs sent to employers built on the platform. The group is backed by tier-1 financial and strategic investors including IDG, eBay, SBI Holdings, FMO, Life.Sreda, GHL, Actis, and VinaCapital, and operates its own corporate venture arm, NEXT100, launched in 2019.

NextTech's revenue model is portfolio-driven and diversified across transaction fees on payment processing (Nganluong, AlePay, Vimo, mPoS), subscription and recurring revenue on e-commerce enablement tools (Boxme, Sales Bot, CNV Loyalty, LandiPage), and transaction fees on mobility and digital platforms (FastGo/HeyU ride-hailing and delivery, TopCV, Schola, Tick Education Myanmar). Go-to-market is sales-led B2B with each subsidiary maintaining its own direct sales force, complemented by self-serve SMB onboarding through portfolio websites. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company operates on customised enterprise and SMB arrangements. The group remains privately held and founder-led by Nguyen Hoa Binh (Shark Binh), with no public listing, and has publicly stated a "billions USD valuation" as a strategic target.
