A duo of experienced, serial entrepreneurs in Vietnam today took the wraps off their new, homegrown venture capital firm.

Do Ventures is aiming at $50 million for its debut fund, and has so far amassed just over half of the total ($28 million), it announced this morning (via e27). The entire sum is expected to be in place sometime next year.

The new VC will invest in early-stage startups in Vietnam as well as across Southeast Asia, typically at $500,000 to $5 million a pop. It’s on the hunt for consumer-oriented as well as enterprise-serving startups, as explained on Do Ventures’ website
