Atlan Nguyen is an Investment Associate at Earth Venture Capital. He brings a cross-disciplinary approach to venture investing, combining analytical rigor with entrepreneurial instincts.
Atlan cut his teeth in international journalism, covering global events for Vietnam News Agency and developing a sharp eye for separating signal from noise. He then moved into business development at Hateco Group, facilitating partnerships with European conglomerates for Vietnam's first fully private deep-sea port, navigating complex cross-border deals and regulatory frameworks.
Before joining Earth VC's investment team, Atlan hosted Vietnam's leading business podcast at Vietsuccess, interviewing top entrepreneurs and dissecting what separates winners from the rest. This gave him front-row access to both unicorn success stories and spectacular failures.
As an entrepreneur himself, Atlan has built ventures across renewable energy, real estate, and hospitality. He believes the best investors are those who've been in the founder's shoes, understanding both the thrill of breakthrough moments and the reality of execution challenges.
