Impressed by the unique business ideas of 10th-grade students

After nearly a month of preparation, teams from seven classes (3–4 teams per class) presented their impressive business projects at the preliminary round on November 25 & 26, ready to pitch their ideas to a panel of Sharks.

What made this competition even more special was the esteemed panel of judges, comprised of parents who are also experienced entrepreneurs and business professionals, including Shark To Ngoc Cuong – Deputy General Director of Pho Noi Textile Infrastructure Development JSC, Shark Nguyen Viet Hoa – Founder & CEO of Yody Fashion JSC, and Shark Nguyen Thi Hai Ninh – Lecturer at the Faculty of Economics, Vietnam National University of Agriculture. Additionally, homeroom teachers and subject teachers also took on the role of investors, evaluating the students' projects.

Beyond applying their classroom knowledge, students combined research, surveys, and real-world insights to develop unique business ideas. They built detailed business strategies, estimated costs, and assessed feasibility and market potential, all with the goal of launching their ventures at the Tết Nhân Ái 2025 event. Some teams proposed selling Tteokbokki rice cakes with rice milk, while others opted for Jajangmyeon and lemon tea or grilled skewers with peach tea at their stalls.

With well-prepared presentations, confidence in pitching their ideas, and clear business plans, the teams earned praise and constructive feedback from the Sharks, helping them refine their projects further. The students also impressed the judges with their market understanding, solid business knowledge, and sharp financial calculations, skillfully tackling challenging questions from the panel.

As the preliminary round concluded, the competition was fierce, leaving the Sharks with tough decisions to select the most promising projects for the Final Round. Which teams will secure investment and move forward? Stay tuned to find out!
