The money will be allocated over five years through 2020.
The foundation seeks to enrich young people's knowledge of start-ups and strengthen the capacities of business incubators.
"Starting up is tough," Luu Phuoc Vu, chairman of Hoa Sen Group, said.
"Without strong efforts, it cannot be successful especially in a competitive economy. To start up, people need to be creative."
Earlier, at an event organised in Ha Noi, Vu had pledged to support start-up projects launched by the HCM City Youth Union in 2016-21.
Ha Noi and HCM City have been making strong efforts to develop start-up programmes.
They are in fact trying to become start-up hubs to boost their competitiveness and development.
