Retail client focused, lack institutional experience
“Stamp factory” job – expect to be processing not creating
Propensity to Job-hop – little continuity of experience or direction
Little English language requirements – reflective of standards
Don’t expect to provide much valuable input – Most retail investors in VN would rather trade themselves
Most companies in VN would rather raise capital themselves rather than rely on a local securities company
Illegal activities the norm – such unprofessional ethics would get you fired in a global firm
Expect limited global exposure or internationally transferable experience

D2 Capital PartnersMost Common Deal Tripwires
Deals tend to flounder on a regular series of factors, many of whichmay be international practice - but in VN it is all innovation …
Emotional Seller Premium
Contingent Risks – especially from earlier raise
Validity of Documents – are licenses even real ?
Failure to Launch – understand the need
Veto Rights – some things require permission
Options – to put or call
Avoid/fix these and your chances just improved sharply
