【Origin Stories - Ho Trung Dung, Chip Chip AW#21】
"My parents are one of my angel investors. They invested without expecting anything in return, despite coming from a relatively poor background. Growing up in Vietnam, they sacrificed a lot just make sure I got a good education and access to better opportunities in life. That’s why I've pushed myself to study and become a lifelong learner.
Although majoring in history during university, I eventually fell in love with computers. I read through every computer magazine, cover to cover. I started to learn how to install windows OS and do everything with the computer, including teaching myself how to program.
I eventually went out to start my own digital marketing agency. We were quite successful, making good money, but growth was slow. The business was very labor intensive and we were not helping that many people.
After 6 months of back and forth, I decided to give it all up to start something new. I had to abandon this image of a successful person. It was one of the toughest decisions I've had to make. But I realized that having a lot of money, a big car, big house, will only make us happy in the short-term.
I’ve always been obsessed with building tech solutions to positively impact many people. That’s why I had to do a startup again, this time focusing on English learning. It's been hard, and tiring, and filled with endless challenges, but I feel much more fulfilled than ever."

***QUICK SUMMARY***
Why Asia Wedding Network was started?
So I started the company because a lot of my friends were getting engaged and planning their weddings in Asia, and having a lot of trouble finding vendors for their wedding. I noticed that they were looking at sites like theknot or wedding wire which were pretty much useless to them since they were not getting married in the US. I had one particular friend who wanted to get married in Bali and also in Taiwan but since she was a successful career woman, she didn’t have time to scroll through google or spend a lot of time on Instagram to find her vendors or get her planning done. In the end, she only got married in Taiwan because she simply didn’t have enough time to plan a wedding in Bali. So I thought, why isn’t there a one-stop shop website in Asia like there is in the US? That’s why I started the Asia Wedding Network, which started off being an online directory but transformed into much more. We literally created everything you need to plan your wedding - all in one place. You can find vendors, book packages, shop for wedding products, find pretty inspiration, learn wedding etiquette, and much more. In case you want to check out the company, I’ve provided a link in the description below.
