Born in Vietnam and adopted to Sweden, Denise is one of many young overseas Vietnamese that have come back to help contribute to their “mother country”. Speaking 6 languages and living in multiple countries, Denise is truly a global citizen that can easily navigate cultures and borders.
After finding her biological mother in Vietnam (a touching story that you can read more about here), Denise was inspired to help others find meaningful connections. So she and her co-founder, Oscar, created Fika – a female focused AI social & dating app headquartered in Vietnam, tailored for the SE Asian market.
Having only started in 2020, Fika has received over 700,000 downloads and the team has recently raised US$1.6m of seed funding. With a focus on female empowerment, user safety & authenticity, they have clearly found a gap in the market and I look forward to seeing how they grow in the future.
