THE CHALLENGING JOURNEY OF STARTING A BUSINESS

Previously, Kevin Tung Nguyen was one of the two Vietnamese students who received a full scholarship from Ohio Wesleyan University, USA, and did not have to worry about any tuition fees. However, due to his early independence, Kevin Tung Nguyen has been working multiple jobs since his first year of university, sometimes even taking on 4-5 different jobs in a week to earn money.

During his second year of college, Kevin Tung Nguyen met a fellow companion who shared the same entrepreneurial ship. Together, they started a project to develop a mobile phone camera application. Subsequently, Kevin Tung Nguyen established his own company with a considerable amount of capital.

"I my second year of college, I started working hard to earn money by taking on various jobs. Suddenly, I was chosen to participate in a project that paid a large sum of money." . Kevin Tung Nguyen, being young and somewhat arrogant, thought of ways to spend the money he earned.

Kevin Tung Nguyen then moved on to another project. The next two companies both failed, but the second failed due to arrogance, thinking that he had enough money to handle it. However, after only 6 months, all the money was gone. At that time, he did not know how to raise funds or manage finances and development. This led to the depletion of funds at that time.

After experiencing two failures that seemed to have lost everything, Kevin Tung Nguyen was determined to build and develop JobHopin.
