Architect of Belonging

I design the spaces where meaningful connection happens. Where purpose-driven founders find each other, grow together, and build companies that heal humans, society and the planet.

My Story

Trung Nguyen in front of a Chinese Aldi

I'm Trung. A Vietnamese-German builder obsessed with turning chaos into clarity — across startups, communities, and human systems. I design technical foundations and mindsets strong enough to grow through anything.

After leading engineering teams and carving my own path through freelancing and venture-building, I learned something simple: Transformation doesn't happen through transactions — it happens when people bet on each other.

Today, I help founders and high-achievers clear emotional bottlenecks, so they can scale without breaking what makes them great.

Trung Nguyen speaking at a workshop
"I think it's more about learning different ways to manage my own energy from others. There are so many valuable insights shared, and I want to apply these to both my professional and personal life."

Founder & Workshop Participant

"This applies to my personal life as well. Just try everything, A-B test everything, see what works. If it feels good for you, then do it. That's the mindset I'll be applying going forward in my life."

Founder & Workshop Participant

"I also like this group. I think it's always teaching me things. Like today, I definitely learned how to add more KPIs and make my life a little more organized, which was my goal."
