Misfit Wearables

christy speaks with sonny at the office

Story

Starting a business means sleepless nights, unpredictability, capital burn, and the threat of competition. Why then would the leaders of a new venture risk moving to a country with an unproven tech work force?

Sonny Vu and Christy Trang Le, the husband and wife co-founders of Misfit Wearables, have had their faith tested as entrepreneurs. But relying on their faith, they helped build up a company founded on servant leadership, as well as Vietnam’s emerging R&D talent.
