[Transferred from Fuzhou Evening News] Talk about entrepreneurship in shangdao coffee 2

After reading the article last Tuesday, Mr. Y found Xiaorong through the newspaper. We met with Mr. Y about the coffee on the island downstairs in juchunyuan in dongjiekou.

Mr. Y is a professional manager of a local foreign company. He has been engaged in the supply chain process and has spent a lot of money over the years, which can be used for investment after no worries about food and clothing. In the past few years, apart from investing in real estate, Mr. Y has also invested in franchise stores of catering brands. The real estate benefits are quite stable, while those of catering franchise businesses are not ideal. Mr Y's confusion is: what types of projects should I choose if I took out about 2 million yuan of venture capital?

Mr. John initially thought Mr. Y wanted to become an Angel investor ). I remember that in 2004, Mr. Xiaorong also received consultations from W students. At that time, W wanted to start a business from a state-owned enterprise, while a relative of W had just returned from abroad, just about 2 million yuan of money was enough to invest, so Mr. Smith suggested W to start a startup company with his relatives.

After many years of work, professional managers in foreign companies may encounter the ceiling of their careers and cannot continue to be promoted. What's more, they may encounter "Up or Out" failures) these senior managers often consider the transformation from professional managers to entrepreneurs at night. The technical backbone and business elites of state-owned enterprises, it is often because of the constraints of the system that it cannot be done by others. In addition to switching to foreign companies with more flexible mechanisms, they sometimes choose to start their own businesses. However, some talented and intelligent technical experts have a keen eye, by default, a Just for fan project launched a promising business opportunity.

No matter how different entrepreneurial motives are from past qualifications, the first venture capital comes from a common challenge that troubles entrepreneurs. The first capital of about 2 million yuan can basically meet the capital needs of Seed Stage startups. Generally, it can provide initial financial support for most entrepreneurs within six months, to enable entrepreneurs to change their "entrepreneurial concepts" from "on paper" to "product prototype/service prototype", entrepreneurs can complete their business registration and build the legal structure of the company's entities, apply for intellectual property rights such as trademarks and patents and accumulate intangible assets. More importantly, the formation of the entrepreneurial team can promote the entrepreneurial program step by step, so that the project can truly enter the market, and the product prototype can bring early user and market feedback, these are extremely helpful for the next round of financing. Generally, this first venture capital is not from a professional venture capital organization (VC), but from Family members and Friends who are dubbed "3F groups) fool is the provider of Angel funds.

However, Mr. Y's question is how to choose the entrepreneurial direction. He wants to change his previous investment model and create and manage a company on his own, instead of investing in others. Mr. Y's circle has some friends with the same job nature, and the funds available for scheduling are equally comparable. Whenever friends get together, they are wondering which direction is suitable for investment, it is suitable for everyone to work together as an enterprise.

Is there a so-called hot industry ?! Small The answer to Mr. Y is no. In fact, there are business opportunities and hot zones in every industry. Low-tech fields in the high-tech industry, and high-tech fields in the low-tech industry ...... Although the word "Innovation" seems to make your ears grow Mr. Y said that if a start-up enterprise can provide innovative values, adopt newer technologies, newer processes, better service methods, and newer functions, you can certainly find your own development space. Xiaorong cited the concept of individual financial services mentioned by the insurance company's service personnel at noon, proving that if network technology is applied to localized personal financial information dissemination, it will certainly create new value for consumers and financial institutions.

However, it is not easy for anyone with 2 million yuan of venture capital to quickly build a local entrepreneurial team to provide personalized financial information services through information technology. Quick and rich sources of information and a trusted network of multiple skill networks all come from our sincere and hard work.

There are several roads at the foot of entrepreneurs leading to Rome: the first road signs "technology Avenue". entrepreneurs themselves are technical experts who can develop technology and provide products and services, you can create a company that provides products or services. The second road sign says "resource Avenue". Although entrepreneurs are not professionals themselves, they have been working as managers for many years, based on personal credit and information channels, entrepreneurs can create a trading company that provides intermediary forms. The third road signs "Angel Avenue ", entrepreneurs can provide entrepreneurial capital to other technical entrepreneurs to participate in the management of entrepreneurial companies. They can also simply provide entrepreneurial capital and do not participate in management.

Investors with entrepreneurial capital are looking for suitable entrepreneurial projects and suitable entrepreneurial partners, while technical and conceptual entrepreneurs are looking for suitable angel investment to start the project ...... Where are the wings of angels? It seems that it is flying in the sky named social capital, where every cloud is written with two words of trust.
