One day in June noon, Liangje in the Innovation Factory line dozen Rice's team first met "the live" The Lee, he is a bit surprised, Lee Kai-fu Li unexpectedly also will eat the work meal in the workshop, and ranks behind the line, nobody lets him give priority to. Liangje, who had just been selected for the run-up plan, felt that he had found the Internet entrepreneurship in the workshop.

A chance to "jump out"

Before May 2011, Liangje Tencent Chengdu Branch is responsible for the operation of QQ space products, although the platform is good, the environment is good, but the university during the school has tried to start his, has not liked insipid, not much change of life, Tencent's experience for him, just to the next springboard for entrepreneurial opportunities.

Liangje in the University of Professional E-commerce, the first venture to do a aggregation of information on the platform, but because the network, experience accumulated not enough and halfway aborted. After the 2010 National Day, Liangje saw the rapid development of domestic group buying website, also often in the handle, the United States Group to buy movie tickets, meal vouchers, but slowly found that many people buy a coupon after no time to spend, and others will miss some of the favorite group purchase list, Froing He created a new idea for the two-time trading platform he wanted to do a group purchase, which became the idea of Liangje's second venture.

But how do we get started? The team built up no problem, the university with a professional friend called, do Web pages, do design, make products are all the people. But without money, without a place, without a reason to persuade himself to give up the existing environment, Liangje felt no clue.

Liangje every day looking for this "jump out" opportunity, inadvertently in the brush Weibo, see Kai-Fu Lee Weibo published innovative workshop "run-up plan" is receiving the project application information. Before this, Liangje many times through the news, micro-Bo saw the project, Lee Kai-fu, probably know that innovation factory is an early investment company, holding a try attitude he applied, did not expect a week later received the workshop staff telephone.

The workshop there first through the phone to understand Liangje personal experience and team basic situation, and then invited him to Beijing to participate in the interview. "Interview when there are 10 people, Hua and a few investment managers are present, Hua asked me if the big company copy our project How to do, I thought to say only fast does not break is the same truth, first to make products, and then quickly improve, improve." In this way, a week later Liangje signed an agreement with the factory.

For Liangje, the run-up plan prompted itself and the team to finally decide to "jump out" to start a business, not only is the workshop funded, but there is also a incubation program for the entrepreneur's needs, which provides the wealth of resources required by a variety of entrepreneurs, including human, financial, legal, and operational, "including the entrepreneurial climate and environment, Networking is what entrepreneurial teams need, "Liangje said." On the other hand, the conditions of the workshop are more reasonable (capital investment and share ratio), and not exceed the average standard of the industry. ”

The same "jump out" and Peng. Unlike Liangje, Peng has done a higher position in Tsinghua Tongfang before the venture. After graduating from the company he has not changed, with 9 years of time from the grassroots research and development staff to do the team leader. At that time entrepreneurial in his, is the evening and colleagues will always mention the topic of supper, "always complaining about the company and leadership, but a mention of resignation, we have to think of the next month children's milk money demo, daughter-in-law's brand-name package can not be implemented."

But at that time the company left little room for development, as well as the daily repetitive work flow, or let Peng determined to go the idea. Peng, who is only familiar with the hardware market, started out as a social-game project, and the start-up money was a distributor of years of friendship. The project progressed slowly, and the game was developed to recover only two thousand or three thousand dollars a month, just enough to Peng the rental server. But he is not too worried, from making hardware to social games, Peng wants to use the project to find out the rules of the Internet industry, and have the opportunity to meet the ability of programmers, even the strength of a good investor.
