Entrepreneurs look at: Silicon Valley entrepreneurship accelerator mainly presents these three trends

"We live in a golden age of entrepreneurs and are now more capable of using exponential growth technology to address the major challenges facing humankind than ever before," said Singularity University, co-founder of the Futurist and the University of Singularity, Peter Diamandis. The University of Singularity is hailed as an Ivy League school from the future. It encourages entrepreneurs to think boldly, its graduate program is more like a big entrepreneurial college, where every year a 10-week summer training is recruited from a global selection of outstanding entrepreneurs, covering almost all cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, networking and computer systems. The entrepreneur involved in the project will provide assistance in a variety of ways for at least 1 billion people over the next 10 years. For ordinary entrepreneurs, the vision of the University of Singularity and the entrepreneurial project it seeks seems a little remote, especially for entrepreneurs who have not yet started a project and have only 50%, idealized, imperfect ideas, how to better help push your ideas may be the first thing you are thinking about. In Beijing, creative, but still semi-formed, most first-time entrepreneurs will choose 3W Coffee and other places, to find a showcase platform, to listen to experienced entrepreneurs to share their entrepreneurial experience, and to expand the Internet Circle network resources. In Silicon Valley, the Drepp project team will have more options to join the emerging Entrepreneurship Academy such as the Draper University. The school was founded by Tim Draper, founder of venture capital firm DFJ DFJ, to provide a cushion for college students who are not ready to start a business, or for entrepreneurs who are not ready to enter incubators and accelerators. Draper said that the purpose of his own Draper University is to cultivate the entrepreneurial hero. He thinks college students at Harvard, Stanford Business School can learn a lot of cases and skills, but seems to be missing something, he hopes to be made up by the school. This missing piece can be reflected in the Drepp Hero Academy's motto in the continuous failure, until the success of ", Draper University may be the world's most encouraging failure of the college." Experimental learning is important here, and entrepreneurs are asked to try out new things, allow them to keep trying and try and make mistakes, until they are not afraid to try, and this will prepare the team for a more comfortable face of failure in the future. In addition to the rise of an entrepreneurial college in Silicon Valley, the most high-profile is the booming entrepreneurial incubator and accelerator. Incubators provide a place for entrepreneurs, allowing you to stay longer, where you can build networks, learn and develop, and accelerators are usually short-term, high-intensity intensive training that swaps small sums of money and guidance in Single-digit Stakes. Silicon Valley Accelerator startups founder Dave McClure, in an interview with Tencent technology, said the overall, there will be more innovation in the future of the accelerator. Most of the accelerators that are now booming will be eliminated in the coming years. They have to compete with some 5-10-year-old accelerators, which is quite difficult, so more and more new accelerators have recently become more focused on a particular area, more specialized and vertical, such as the media, health care, and cloud services. "said Dave. The three trends of entrepreneurial accelerator One: specialization, vertical. Emerging entrepreneurial accelerators prefer specific vertical areas, such as health care, cloud services, virtual reality, etc. in recent years, the U.S. health care industry has emerged emerging entrepreneurial incubators, such as Rock Tiyatien, Startup Tiyatien, Blueprint Tiyatien. At present, the most high-profile one is StartX, a resource-rich Stanford University, the famous Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator has also been chasing Internet health-care start-ups this year, and big companies such as GE have increased their investment in such incubators, hoping to get a slice of the huge market. Amazon Cloud Platform Services AWS recently launched a cloud services incubator in the country, while launching the Amazon AWS Activate Entrepreneurship Acceleration program to provide free cloud services to start-ups. Microsoft has also launched Cloud accelerators to provide start-ups with multi-directional entrepreneurial resources such as office space, Windows Azure cloud computing platform and related services. Last week, Google Maps just announced support for virtual reality Browsing Street View; Intel recently invested in Avegant to develop a virtual reality helmet called Glyph, which Facebook had bought with 2 billion dollars for the immersive virtual reality helmet maker Oculus. With the Silicon Valley it giants layout virtual reality field, the world's first virtual reality incubator River recently was born, by the Venture Rothenberg Ventures launched. River will regularly invite top experts in the field of virtual reality to guide entrepreneurs who focus on this vertical area. Trend two: differentiation. The accelerator must be clear about its unique value positioning, it is possible to stand out now Silicon Valley's most well-known accelerators, including Y Combinator, Startups, TechStars, and so on, their own positioning determines its differentiated path. The familiar Y Combinator hacker culture is strong, is the programmer's paradise, take the global route of startups more good at marketing, design and storytelling; The biggest feature of TechStars is the perfect tutorial system. To maintain the viability of start-ups, TechStars usually chooses only the most promising companies, sifting 1% of projects from 4,000 copies each year, with about 10 per cent each, and they receive a mentor's attention and hands-on guidance from 1-10 mentors. Founder David Cohen's original intentionis to devote energy to quality and ensure that every company that hatches is successful. Compared with TechStars, there are obvious differences in the investment idea of startups. "We are using small investment and incremental investment strategies," said Dave McClure, founder of Tencent Technology. The first is to invest in a large number of start-ups, and then sift through the market's fittest to select the best start-ups, and we will selectively make additional investments in these winners. "At the same time, startups may be the most international and diversified entrepreneurial accelerator in Silicon Valley." Last year Dave appointed Ma Rui, a partner in Greater China, who would recommend some of the country's top-quality projects to Silicon Valley for accelerated training. Ma Rui told Tencent that a start-up company named Fiberead had just been selected this month in the Amazon's cloud-creation competition. Fiberead is a Cross-border project that mainly helps English compositions publish books in China, including e-books and paper books. Founder Runa Jiang told Tencent that they would be in Silicon Valley next January for a period of 14 weeks. Select startups is hoping it will endorse us and attract famous Silicon Valley authors like Ben Horowitz, "Runa said. Trend three: The strategy of multinational corporation change. From the maturity of the start-up project to the early stage to participate in the start-up company recently, almost every week, a multinational company and the accelerator to buy its own field of a start-up, Nike, Microsoft, Kaplan, Disney, and so on with the accelerator TechStars, respectively, set up Nike Accelerator, Microsoft Accelerator, Kaplan (Kaplan) educational Technology Accelerator and Disney Accelerator. These multinationals will see partnering with start-ups as a key to innovative strategies, they are not alone, according to the Global Innovation Trends Survey published by GE, 85% per cent of large business respondents said such cooperation could be targeted at tapping innovative electronics from start-ups and exploring more possibilities, And make up for the lack of creativity within the enterprise. So why does this trend occur? Why do big companies want to jump out of comfort zones and build partnerships with start-ups? Readers of the book "The Innovator's Dilemma" will find that Christensen, the author of Harvard Business School, argues that many market leaders have been eliminated fastest in the wave of transformative technological innovation, because disruptive innovations often come from start-ups, and they jump out of the existing framework to think about problems that the market has not anticipated, It may be too late to realize. Silicon Valley Accelerator Plug & Play has been developing very well recently, the main reason is that they butt large enterprises, IBM and other large enterprises often come to this accelerator, and start-up companies face-to-face communication. Saidi Amidy, founder of Saeed Amidi, said that multinationals would have to wait for start-ups to mature and then collectAcquire valuable technology and apply it to your own product. But things are very different now, such as Plug & Play for the retail, media and other industries launched a corresponding accelerator project, currently each project has a large corporate sponsorship, these sponsors will be for entrepreneurs to share their management experience, and provide a certain amount of funds to support the development of the project. More importantly, they are directly involved in the early stages of start-up. Amidy stressed.
