🇻🇳 Fonos 🎧: How this idea became Vietnam's largest audio platform

8 June 2026, with Joël Kaczmarek, Xuan Nguyen and Oscar Jesionek

Summary

This episode is in German.

Fonos became Vietnam's largest audio platform in a market where founders struggled to be paid for digital content at all. The Money Monday episode traces why exclusive audiobook rights mattered more than quick revenue, how a small team and a narrow focus created room to act, and how trust develops in a culture caught between piracy and an appetite for knowledge. It also covers running a business as a couple and what lies behind the unicorn myth.
