“Kid-Talkie gave me something truly valuable, real experience. It was a time when I challenged myself, embraced uncertainty, and discovered what I was truly capable of.”
Kid-Talkie is a startup project I built with my friends during our time at FPT University. The project received 300 million VND in funding from FPT, and for me, it was an amazing chance to step out of my comfort zone and try things for real.
The idea came from a simple everyday problem: kids are naturally curious and want to explore everything around them, but they don't always have someone to answer their questions. Unlike adults, who can search for information on their own, young children rely on their parents, who often worry about exposing them to something harmful.
