AVOCADOO · AWS Activate Credits Application

We're an app studio, not a one-product startup.

A small, full-stack team out of Vietnam. We build and grow consumer apps end to end (the models, the product, and the marketing that gets them adopted), across several apps and languages, for users around the world.

0K+ combined downloads, iOS + Android Vietnam · US · Europe · Japan · Thailand & more

~$0K monthly revenue run-rate, reached recently

$0K revenue in the last 6 months

0 apps shipped across education, lifestyle, beauty grown organically, not on paid ads

(04)The portfolio

A repeatable engine, not a one-off hit.

One core engine (voice, multilingual, content), re-skinned across languages and now beauty. Most grew organically to 600K+ downloads.

(05)What we're good at

We build it, and we get it adopted.

How we build

01We ship real apps and keep them running.Actual products with real users and regular updates, not demos.

02We tune to how people here actually behave.Our models and content fit the local market, instead of dropping in a template made for somewhere else.

03We build for what moves the needle.If something doesn't help the user or change a number, we don't ship it.

How we grow

04600K+ downloads, most of them without ads.Earned through app store optimization and working with local creators.

05We make money from our apps.Real recurring revenue, and we got there profitably.

06Not only Vietnam.People use our apps in the US, Europe, Japan, Thailand and beyond.

(06)The team

Builders who also know how to grow.

A small, full-stack team, all in-house across engineering, ML, product, content, and growth. Small enough to move fast, complete enough to ship without outside help.

Dung Thai

Founder & Entrepreneur

Serial entrepreneur across tech, education, and F&B. Scaled the studio to 600K+ downloads and $220K in revenue.

Quan Pham

Chief Product Officer

Has launched and scaled 12+ app products. Leads product design and go-to-market.

Quang Tran

CTO & Software Engineering Lead

Architected AI-driven apps for 500K+ users on NestJS, .NET and microservices. Scalable AWS infrastructure at 99.9% uptime.

(07)Built on AWS

AI is the core. AWS is where we run it.

AI/ML is the core of every app, not an add-on. We build and fine-tune our own models and run them on AWS, pairing managed AI services with our own models, and pushing inference on-device where speed and privacy matter.

What we run on AWS

01Compute & AI inference: Amazon EC2.Run our application services, background workers, and production AI inference workloads on scalable EC2 instances.

02Models: Amazon Bedrock & SageMaker.Bedrock powers our multilingual language tutors and skin advisor (Q&A, explanations, content); SageMaker fine-tunes and hosts our own speech, pronunciation-scoring, and computer-vision models.

03Vision & speech: Rekognition, Textract, Transcribe & Polly.Rekognition + Textract for product and ingredient scanning; Transcribe + Polly for pronunciation and TTS.

04Data, storage & delivery: RDS, DynamoDB, S3, Lambda & CloudFront.Managed databases (RDS, DynamoDB) for accounts, progress, subscriptions and analytics; S3 for recordings, lessons, transcripts, backups and AI training artifacts; Lambda for event-driven workloads; CloudFront for low-latency global delivery.

How we’d use the credits

01Scale AI inference affordably.Move heavier inference to AWS and grow EC2 capacity as user traffic scales across our 8 live apps, optimizing cost.

02Make the models more accurate, fairly.Train on more data for accuracy across skin tones, languages, and device types.

03Scale data and storage.Support database scaling, backups, and high availability on RDS and DynamoDB, plus rapidly growing S3 storage and data transfer.

04Ship faster, worldwide.Managed services and CloudFront global delivery let a small team serve the US, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia while reducing latency and bandwidth costs.

(11)Close

One small team. A whole portfolio.

We’re a profitable, bootstrapped studio from Vietnam that builds consumer AI apps end to end and grows them to real users and revenue: 600K+ downloads across 8 apps, from language learning to beauty, most of it earned organically. We build our own models, ship fast, and reach users in the US, Europe, Japan and across Southeast Asia. AWS gives us the compute, data, storage, and global delivery (Amazon EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, and CloudFront) to train and run our own models, scale as we grow, cut cost, and ship to more users worldwide.
