Tuan Huynh: Community. Culture. Coffee.

Tuan Huynh is a creative entrepreneur and founder of VietFive Coffee, a vertically integrated coffee brand with a purpose-driven business model, while building a movement rooted in community, resilience, and possibility.

Born in Vietnam and raised in the Midwest, Tuan transformed his life experience into a celebrated career as an award-winning Creative Director before stepping into entrepreneurship with a deeper mission: to create impact at scale.

Through VietFive, he connects his family’s coffee farm in Vietnam to communities in Chicago and beyond—turning every cup into a symbol of heritage, opportunity, and progress.

Together with his wife Anna, he leads Grounds to Greatness through BeLikeWater.org, creating pathways to employment, dignity, and upward mobility for justice-impacted individuals and people with disabilities.

Tuan’s belief is unwavering: when you invest in people, you unlock potential—and when you build with purpose, you create generational change.
