What does IDG investors think about the current online education business?

Last week we walked into IDG with 22 start-up teams, and a large proportion of these 22 teams were online education programs that covered young children to K12 to vocational training, so after the demo, the founders had some interaction with IDG's online education investor. Here are three points I've recorded that are worth sharing:

1, IDG really want to lay out professional IT training, that is, the professional IT training mode of the pure line. But for this model they have two big hesitation point, one is it training if it is based on the interest of users, then the users themselves will not want to learn very deep, they hope to learn will be able to operate, the user's willingness to pay will be relatively low. And if it is for the hardcore users of IT training, in fact, such users do not want to go to the previous course, they will be directly in Google or various forums to search for tutorials, buy will be, will not want to see a video online. So now I think the driving professional IT training is for people with job needs.

2, IDG has talked about more than 10 to the system of schools to do the teaching system of the start-up companies, and their hesitant point is that the system is difficult to cut, this system-oriented entrepreneurship is difficult to scale, because a start-up company may be able to cut down a district, a city, a province, but it is not a market-oriented things, Each family may only cut a piece of cake in one area, so it is difficult to judge whether the pattern will fail.

3, the IDG will invest in the start-up companies will have a short-term profit return requirements? In fact, they will not be particularly anxious in this regard, such as the Ape Bank in fact before the money is not much, but they are still very optimistic, including a new round of financing also did not let the external investment, IDG and Jingwei interior did this round. But now the ape question Bank's user quantity also rose, also did the slight profit pattern exploration, for instance in before the college entrance examination did some last-minute the question bank, but also has the video course, then pays the rate also to be good. In short, IDG's words is, "anyway is we can afford, the fund is big enough, you see the is 03, ten years after the listing, we really can afford." ”
