2014 30-year-old entrepreneurial upstart: the list of erotic entrepreneurs

2013 is the year of the Chinese internet for "uncle" erected: Guo to disease, Yiu Jingbo, Zhungchengsu, Zhang Wei, Deng, Li and other people finally looked at their company completed the "adult ritual", and they will continue to enter the cause of the "mature male period"-accustomed to see MA, horse, Li, Zhou, Lei and so on front behind the scenes of the performance, must have a few new faces out to brush the screen?

The Old Testament says: "A generation comes, a generation goes, the sun rises as usual." In the Chinese Internet, this sentence should read: A generation of people do not go, the sun also rises as usual. The big guy or the big guy, the upstart keeps popping up and the stock is up and up.

Starting in 2011, the "Entrepreneurial State" magazine officially launched the "entrepreneurial upstart under the age of 30" list, which is China's first focus on the 30-year-old entrepreneurial group list, but also the world's most authoritative for the new generation of social forces of the annual inventory. Each year the final finalists of the young entrepreneurs from the many areas of business change (of course, the Internet is relatively large), both famous Angel, a first-line VC recommendations, but also the daring to recommend, but more, from our reporter in the past year of excavation, discovery and reporting.

In fact, every year when we do this list, people ask us, "the 30-year-old entrepreneurial upstart" in the end, where is the cost? How many people are there? and a friend more bluntly said: "In the Hand-to-hand China business world, you This is not boost?"

Admittedly, in the last 3 years of the list, almost every year is the first to be "entrepreneurial state" after the story of a famous entrepreneur. such as Shuyi advertising. He was the cover of the first year of "entrepreneurial upstart under the age of 30", after one months in the magazine, it was invited by IDG's investors to invest in the latter, and before that, almost no one in the investment circle knew about the Shuyi and the Zeyang, and a finalist from Shanghai--the Zhang Yuangang of the tech--of his upstart report, Our correspondent received a phone call from Sequoia Capital Partners, hoping to get to know Zhang Yuangang. But at that time already "not lack of money" Zhang Yuangang refused the other party's investment intention (until today, Zeyang technology has not attracted external investment, it is said they are going to impact the gem!)

As the media, we always believe: gold is always to shine, not gold you are every day to make him cover also useless! In a society where life and work are being fully taken over by social media, both boost and bats are becoming more and more pale, because as long as you can show your self, show your company and product realistically enough, and meet the needs of a subset of users, there will always be someone to accept you.

So, what is the value of "entrepreneurial upstart under 30 years of age"? Tell a story first. A recent success in Hong Kong to lead the company's successful listing of the Burson Interactive founder Zhang Wei, in 2008, was a 8-year start-up, still struggling with the cock silk entrepreneur. Who would have thought this "cock silk" would be an upstart in a few years?

Zhang Wei found Zhou, old week was already a continuous entrepreneur, rich, have experience; Old week and pull back at that time has been rid of cock silk identity dai, jointly invested in Zhang Wei; then Dai again to invest their own Shen, let Sequoia became Zhang Wei's only institutional investors. And Shen is also a continuous entrepreneur, has already realized the financial freedom. To be blunt, this is a typical case of entrepreneurs investing in entrepreneurs. From a business point of view, you can think of them as a joint effort to complete a business closure; but from the perspective of China's entrepreneurial ecology, this is an open source process that allows opportunities to reproduce and allow old tyrants to create new tyrants.

What is a upstart? The upstart, in our view, is the link between the tyrants and the cock: tyrants is the "noble" of the upstart, the investor, the platform and the boss before the upstart, the state of the upstart at this moment, and the brothers who are following TA to change that state.

In other words, there are two conditions for the upstart to make this change possible. One is externality, which is inherited from the resources of the last generation of upstarts, experience or wealth, such a combination of social resources and opportunities for the flow and reorganization of freer, more effective, and the second is the internal, that the upstart changed not only their own fate, and Ta fight with the brothers, and through the options and other contractual models, Makes the seemingly small business organization have the power stipulation and the wealth distribution democratization, the rule of law Foundation, this obviously is to the Chinese traditional family enterprise's subversion, lets the more universal social innovation mechanism realize.

Over the past 20 years, China has accumulated a batch of new entrepreneurial upstarts, though some have become giants and overlords, they are far more meaningful than they are, and even at the worst, they are the "arsenal" of new startups--and once Pandora's Box is opened, no one can shut it down.

We have chosen not so much the upstart in the business world as the node of social change.
