YSEALI Academy
Our Journey Started Here
How It All Began
In 2022, we were among 35 passionate individuals selected to join the YSEALI Academy at Fulbright University Vietnam, a prestigious program designed to empower Southeast Asia's brightest young leaders. Together, we represented a diverse array of cultures, experiences, and dreams, united by a shared vision to tackle societal challenges through entrepreneurship and innovation.
The YSEALI experience was a transformative journey. Combining online engagement sessions with a high-speed, ultra-meaningful week-long in-person seminar, we worked tirelessly to develop real-world solutions to pressing issues. From action-packed hackathons to lectures, panel discussions, and one-on-one mentorship, we collaborated across borders to create conceptual business solutions and pitched our ideas before venture capitalists and business angels.
From 2022 to ImpactSEA
In 2025, we reunited as 7 alumni of the YSEALI Academy with one goal: to turn our shared vision into action. Along the way, our mission gained momentum, and our team grew stronger with the addition of new talent and perspectives. This was the birth of ImpactSEA—a regional initiative designed to empower changemakers, foster collaboration, and drive innovation across Southeast Asia.
