Nano builds an Earned Wage Access and flexible benefits platform aimed at low-income workers, delivered primarily through its Vui app which lets employees access wages instantly. The company is working with pioneering employers and reports over 100,000 workers granted access to earnings via Vui, including employees at FPT Retail, Central Retail, GS25, Family Mart, Kangaroo and Truong Thanh Furniture. Nano’s leadership includes Co‑Founder & CTO Thang Nguyen and Co‑Founder & CEO Dzung Dang. The company focuses on supporting workers through the cost-of-living crisis and improving employer engagement via flexible benefits. Going forward Nano plans to target large enterprises in manufacturing—garment, shoes, electronics and wood—and to expand its solutions into a complete flexible benefits platform for low-income workers. The business is headquartered in Hanoi, Vietnam. Nano Technologies provides earned-wage access through its VUI app, allowing employees to withdraw earned wages on demand. VUI launched six months ago and now serves more than 20,000 employees at companies including GS25, LanChi Mart and Annam Gourmet. The startup reports about 50–60% of employees sign up when employers offer the service and that users withdraw wages roughly three times per month. Nano typically fronts wage advances and is repaid by employers through payroll deductions, though employers with higher liquidity can front wages themselves; fee coverage can be employer-paid, worker-paid, or a co-pay model. The company focuses on retail, food & beverage, and manufacturing (notably textiles, garments and shoes). Nano participated in Y Combinator and was founded in early 2020 by Dzung Dang and Thang Nguyen; it recently raised seed funding to continue expanding and building employer-facing tools for staff management and engagement.
