On July 2018, Shark Tank is airing its second season in Vietnam and WisePass happens to be on the second of this season. During the episode, you can watch our founder and CEO Lam Tran explains what WisePass is and discusses with the sharks about WisePass current state and where the company is heading to.

To watch the whole pitch, you can take a look at it here. The video is in Vietnamese.

To put some context, WisePass recently raised a seed round the year earlier for 400,000$US for 1,000,000$US pre-money valuation led by Expara Ventures. Raising more helped to get more visibility to other investors and the traction during that time was phenomenal as the company was on its course to get revenue increase by 100x from 2018 compared to the year 2016 where traction started.
