Riviu, a Vietnam-based website and app that is reviewing restaurants, has notched USD 3.6 million from undisclosed investors for domestic expansion, according to a news report by local media VnExpress.
The publication will use the fresh capital to extend coverage to Vietnam’s major cities Da Nang and Nha Trang, which are popular tourist hotspots. It will also add beauty and entertainment sections. “In our vision, people will use Riviu whenever they need to review or rate any local services, just like they say ‘to google’ instead of ‘to search’,” said CEO Dang Le Huy.
Founded in 2019, Riviu started as a Facebook group—which has now over 930,000 members—and later added a website and mobile app. The company benefited from operating in a country with a young population, where 28% of its total 59.2 million internet users are between 25 and 34 years old, according to estimates by data provider Statista.
