Listen here. Say hi to Fonos! This Vietnamese audio content platform just raised a $1.8M Pre-Series A. (And FYI, they're one of the leading audio platforms in the country.)

• Founded in 2019, they grew revenue 7x in 2021 and had over 130,000 monthly active users in October.
• They're responsible for the most audiobook sales in Vietnam, according to Data.ai.

Investor check. North Base Media led the round. AngelCentral, Orvel Ventures and Vietcetera's Vietnam Innovators Fund also joined in!

• They raised a $1.1M seed round in September 2021.

🎧 Listen the best way, your way

🎙 The next big thing?

The new cash is to help them expand to a new type of audio content — podcasting! Oh, and of course, they'll continue putting out new audio content across all verticals.

• Like what they've done with audiobooks, they're looking to be a leading podcasting player in Vietnam and are cooking up launches for Q1 and Q2 next year!
