For many students, university is not only a place to provide a solid knowledge foundation, a place to hone skills and improve themselves, but also a place to connect students, where they can find reliable companions on every journey. So do the two students (Nguyen Huu Dung and his companion Nguyen Xuan Huy) of UEB.

This is a sales management platform, providing the optimal solution for business owners, and also the first success on the entrepreneurial path of two young and enthusiastic UEB students.

After the success at the contest, the story of "fighting" with the actual market would not be that favorable. Difficulties and challenges are indispensable ingredients in the formula for success. “Before coming to the success of Salework, I only knew about losses, continued to invest without really understanding what profits were. But from those failures, in my final year of university, I and my colleagues created Salework - a sales management platform for e-commerce platforms with tens of thousands of people trusting and paying for it. It has also received awards as well as investment invitations from domestic programs and investors.”, two members of the Salework competition team shared about their entrepreneurial journey.
