This is a magical age.

We have been doing the first Internet venture in China, contacting the youngest entrepreneur in China. In the first half of this year, we suddenly realized that all the founders in China had been taken away for three years. For three years, how valuable the entrepreneur's life is!

In the first half of this year, we began to come into contact with a large number of 92 CEOs, probably the junior college students ' entrepreneurial team. Such teams have invested 4 in the last few months. Some time ago, I and IDG Li Feng and other venture capitalists to exchange, they also began to invest in similar age group.

Three years ago, the mobile internet was just getting started, and we were also trying to invest in student teams. In fact, in the 2011 we had a lot of lessons from investing in our student team, which made me wonder if I was too idealistic. I once wrote an article in 36Kr: is the student entrepreneurial team reliable? It says: "The student team is naturally thin, so want to survive, there must be faster learning and iterative ability."

And today everything has changed-we suddenly realize that China's entrepreneurial ecosystem has moved forward three years in advance. From the traditional understanding of the university graduated 1-2 years of entrepreneurship, has been early to the junior year has started to start a business, an average of three years earlier. In this sense, all of our founders suddenly evaporated three years old. From today's situation, today's 91-92-year entrepreneur and 88-89-year entrepreneur's mental maturity is similar, can be said to stand on the same starting line.

(Popular Science: General 6-Year-old School, senior should be 22 years old, 91 or 92 born, Junior is 92, 93.) In some areas, 7 years old, seniors are 23, 90 or 91 are born, and a junior is 91 or 92. ）

So how did this happen? I think there are two main reasons for the core:

The most important push comes from the mobile internet, the power of micro-letters, especially the circle of friends.

Past children, more lives in their age group of the world, and today, through the Association of Friends, they have come into contact with the elderly (including parents, relatives, teachers, seniors, etc.) of the world. The content and information that belong to the adult world have been synchronized with them, and they are in the most open mind and the most vigorous learning stage, so their ability to learn and digest is amazing.

In my own case, the child of one of my relatives used to know that I was running a company and didn't know exactly what I was doing. And now we add a friend to the micro-letter, this young child, in real time, synchronizes my angel investment uncle's present, almost knowing everything I'm doing, reading the high quality of what I'm sharing, watching what I'm thinking right now, and even having a lot of interaction with me.

So rich in the circle of Friends of the brush selected content value, has made people of all ages to mix and match equally. In the future, due to age differences accumulated advantages will be diluted, the generation gap will be more and more shallow.

Second, the generation is awakening earlier.

The generation is growing up in the Internet environment, a generation of generations of self-awareness earlier, they belong to the generation of personality. Whenever, with heavy shackles, especially the huge pressure to buy a house to kill the number of entrepreneurial budding. And the generation, not only economically more relaxed, the purchase pressure has begun to release.

I asked many, on the one hand, the parents prepared a house for them, on the other hand they will have to buy the future is more indifferent attitude. The generation of generations, they are more reckless, more strongly pursue the realization of self-worth.

10 years ago, Chinese Internet users had not yet 100 million, and today's cities have almost one smartphone. College entrance pressure of high school students do not have space, after a freshman transition, sophomore study, junior Senior is just starting a good start stage.

I have always believed in private that the present educational model is the greatest waste of human beings. Why do so many young people stay in one place for four years at the age of their most productive creativity and not start to create value for society until they graduate from college?

The popularity of mobile internet has made this change happen more quickly. Since last year, we have seen a significant increase in the number of start-up companies in the National University campus, various entrepreneurial organizations and associations have emerged, many universities have set up student incubators, entrepreneurial colleges or entrepreneurial innovation classes, and even Ma's alma mater-Hangzhou Normal University has set up a pioneering college.

What would be interesting if the entrepreneurial ecology started in college? I come to think of the prophet, Crazy spit:

First, entrepreneurship will become the coolest thing on campus, certainly no longer is Couba, go abroad to study the civil servant sucks;

Second, the entrepreneur seniors will become the university campus most popular entrepreneurial instructors, cowhide master;

Third, investors will frequently haunt the school dormitories, canteens, classrooms, cafes and other places, mining the next Google and Facebook?

Four, the university periphery will appear many incubator accelerator, boasts can help you soar;

Five, the Sea Bulletin and campus BBS will appear a lot of recruit business partner's notice, by the way will love things to do;

VI. Entrepreneurship will receive credits, Access to Angel investment will be directly obtained by undergraduate, a round = master, b round = PhD, IPO directly into the Council?

Seven, the university will appear a wealth of myths, million rich, tens of millions of rich, millions of rich, sleeping in your upper bunk boss?

Eight, the headmaster, the professor, the teacher will be stunned, and joyfully, tube his Niang Shi Chengho division, school into what school!

It's a messy and fascinating era, isn't it?
