Call me skeptical but I think the figures are bloated.

Why do you say so ?

7 figure sum acquisition by a large company like Google, Apple or Microsoft doesn't seem that surprising to me ...

Because her Tappy app got like 100+ downloads on Google Play Store, and seems like no one use it at all (I tried it and there was like 1 inactive chat room for the whole Ho Chi Minh city area).

If someone pay 7 figure for an app no one use, the whole app developer community are all millionaires by now.

I don't believe in the work-life balance, too. It should just be life, no work.

Thuy is one of the most hard-working entrepreneurs I know. Having been in the same batch as 500 with her 2 years ago, I have seen the hours she puts in, as well as the distance she goes with employees to make sure they are learning and seeking their own best potential.

Definitely an impressive human being and founder.

Can confirm, awesome person. She is always full of energy because she loves her work; she rallies all of her team members to strive for success, and she goes out of her way to care for those around her.
