The Chinese version of Forbes yesterday released the list of 30 Chinese entrepreneurs under the age of 30. In contrast to the Forbes American version of "30 American entrepreneurs under the age of 30", there is a clear gap in the entrepreneurial environment between young entrepreneurs in the U.S. and China.

Comparison of young entrepreneurs in China and America

Industry cluster Internet distribution more extensive

Comparing the list of entrepreneurs under the age of 30 in China and America, young Americans are free to play their creative role in the Internet, bio-Pharmaceuticals, new energy, media, catering and other fields, while the Chinese young entrepreneurs are able to display a small industry space, in which the Internet has become the industry they are piling together.

Of the American list of entrepreneurs, the Internet and mobile internet industry has 8, while China has 12. The energy (5 people) and real Estate (4) industries favored by young American entrepreneurs have no young people in China who can succeed in business.

The Forbes magazine argues that it is hard for young Chinese entrepreneurs to play in traditional industries, and e-commerce and online gaming have become the biggest blue ocean of commercial power, because it is wild enough and lacks rules and power.

A relatively large advantage of age is more pronounced

Although the comparison target is 30 years old and below the entrepreneur, but from the two countries ' list age breakdown, the American entrepreneur's age superiority is more obvious. The average age of the American list is 26 years, while the average age of China's list is two years older than that of Americans.

In terms of age structure, China's list of the most concentrated age is 30 years old and 29 years old, 11 and 10, respectively, while the United States on the list did not reach the 30-year-old limit, 29-Year-old also only 6, the most concentrated age is 28 years, a total of 10 people. The youngest of the two countries on the list are 19 years old, two in the United States and 1 in China.

Developing heavy market with direction

Forbes argues that the difference between Chinese and American entrepreneurs under the age of 30 is exactly the same as the two countries ' division of labor in the 9374.html ' > World economy, one in research and one in the market. Young American entrepreneurs are better at starting from technology, products and service innovation, and looking for ways to break the pattern of the industry. Young Chinese entrepreneurs are better at starting with applications and looking for new applications of traditional industries on the Web platform.

In addition, the American entrepreneur's product and the service many have the global and the high technology two big characteristics, the Chinese entrepreneur, most is entrenched in the Chinese market, has not had the influence world the Innovation project.

Guo to disease (one of Google's Chinese founders)

Why is it difficult for China to emerge as an innovative entrepreneur like Zuckerberg?

The difference in family culture is also an important reason for the different characteristics of young entrepreneurs in China and America, and many American parents will allow their children to drop out of Harvard to tinker with a website.
