In this group of entrepreneurs, online gaming, O2O, cloud services, and online advertising, which have been validated on the PC side, are also being extended to the handset side. But the mobile client product business model is not clear, the profit prospects are unknown, limited living space and so on, more than VC/PE began to calm investment. Which of these mobile startups will become the king of the mobile phone? Which will soon be eliminated? Wang, Asia's managing director, has made a detailed interpretation in an interview with the investment community.

Cloud service is an important guarantee for the future development of mobile Internet
The cloud storage service is one of the most popular technologies on the Internet, and is also popular at the mobile end. The Silicon Valley cloud storage company announced in October 2011 to raise $250 million trillion, which also gave the domestic cloud storage entrepreneurs a shot of "doping". Dropbox's learner cool Dish is one of the representatives of the company, in February 2011, the cool disk received the 1 million U.S. dollars in Asia Bridge loans, then received a round of investment in Haina Asia, and August 2011 DCM invested a cool plate of 20 million U.S. dollars.
From August 2010 to April 2011, Dropbox deduced a burst of growth, with users turning five times times to 50 million users. and cool disk from November 2011 product online to now registered users have nearly 20 million, upload more than 20 million files a day, the total storage volume has exceeded 4P.
For SIG, in addition to the cool disk innovation model, the actual application of storage technology is investors have confidence in the other side. Wang says it is now a "deep user" of cool discs. In the company's computer, mobile phone, IPAD, home computer Four terminals have installed a cool disk, and regardless of personal photos or company internal data are willing to share and communicate in cool disk.
"I now often report writing half to put on the cool plate, go home and continue to edit, I have stored 40G, this is cool disk for people to bring the greatest convenience in the work." "Wang Introduction, cool disk currently a large user base from teachers, doctors such as the need to often do internal communication users, cool disk is a convenient collaborative work and multiple terminal file storage tools.
Talk about the issue of profitability, cool disk "predecessors" Dropbox has successfully out of their own profit model, through the purchase of space, 100G space each year 99 U.S. dollars, 200G space 199 dollars a year. Wang said that there are previous Dropbox precedent, cool disk will also take the different levels of membership backup mode, through the expansion of space, multiple backup and other ways to charge. "Cool disk fees have been set up, will be from teachers, doctors and other rigid work needs to start." In addition, corporate users will also account for a large proportion of cool disk income. "Wang said.
As a company that provides "cloud" storage services, Wang revealed that cool discs remain open in the capital markets, and she believes mergers and acquisitions are also good exit channels. But as a standalone company, cool discs can also be very promising.
It is understood that the current cool disk is also in the domestic number of small and medium-sized teams to provide back-end storage services, to become a similar S3 platform. "For example, companies such as pictures and videos are not good at doing cloud storage themselves, and they can guarantee users ' backups through cool disks," says Wang. Cool disk is not an isolated company, in business-to-business applications also have a certain value of fees. ”
"In mobile internet, there is a lot of space in mobile gaming, but the competition will be very tragic, and the independent social application threshold is relatively low, it is difficult to resist the giants of erosion, only cloud services are both for individuals and enterprise-class users are the basic requirements of the service, and high technical threshold, is our optimistic investment direction. "It is understood that Haina Asia has recently invested in two cloud computing companies."
