Buu Duong, founder of envision blueprint
04 / the person behind the blueprint

hi, i’m buu

After a decade of building event and community programs across startups, venture capital, and the broader tech ecosystem, I founded envision blueprint to create original event concepts for brands.

The approach starts with a clear reason to attend, a meaningful way to take part, and a connection to the brand behind it. Those priorities shape every part of the experience, from the concept and invitation to the programming and production.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, working with brands across the U.S.
