"Investor" reporter Jianghuan
Through an entrepreneurial competition, to make Internet security "security treasure." The interview met its founder Majnoon. From the rising of the development department general manager to the founder of Security Treasure, Majnoon deductive a whenever Mesozoic typical pioneering road. Whenever is the main force in the Internet pioneering army, they are in the prime of life, have industry experience and contacts, have the original capital accumulation.
With Majnoon, talk about life, talk about the ideal, talk about his first "child"-safety treasure, it is the innovation workshop in the field of Internet security incubation of the only company. Now the company is a large team with more than 80 employees, which is the first team to obtain B-round financing in the incubation enterprise of the Innovation Factory.
Growth: The first to complete the B-round financing
October 2012 Security Treasure completed the B-round financing, by the Northern Lights, Innovation Workshop and EDBI with the investment, the size of about 100 million yuan. Safety Treasure became the first one to complete the B-round financing in the incubator Enterprise of Innovation Workshop.
For the security of the current growth status, Majnoon in the eyes of pride and self-confidence. He told reporters: "Unlike other entrepreneurial people, I am with my mature ideas into the innovation workshop." ”
2000 into rising, to 2003 to become the Vice general manager of the Research and development department, rising from 2010. Ten years of rising life, gave Majnoon a good development and growth platform. After 10 years of professional accumulation, he decided to start his own business. "Entrepreneurship is a complex, another on the one hand is in the rising ten years to do a variety of safety products, from the personal anti-virus software, to the enterprise-class firewall, anti-virus wall, unfortunately there are a lot of users do not meet the needs of a very good."
Rising for him, is a special existence. As a part-time job for others, it was his longest and last. By chance, Kai-Fu Lee invited Majnoon to be the technical Director of Innovation Workshop, and consider entrepreneurship. "The innovation workshop just gave me a good chance to learn and transition." "Innovation workshops provide a good resource for early-stage security, whether it's financial resources, networking or visibility.
Team: Sales will also be technical
Planning how to make the most of the financing, Majnoon talked about future spending mainly in "bandwidth and labor costs". For safety Bao This kind of technology-oriented enterprises, the most sophisticated engineers are absolutely the key to the growth of enterprises.
He confidently said that to find the best talent, "the company has comparable to Taobao these big companies treatment, welfare and good prospects for development." More importantly, the company's concept is full shareholding system. So far, all the employees have shares, because I believe that the interests of everyone in a boat. ”
For the company's recruitment, there are two very special requirements. Firstly, the company is an engineer who hires 4-5 years of work experience for a position with a rigid technical requirement. Even sales positions need to understand basic technology. Secondly, the principle of recruitment is: The number is fixed, but the salary is not capped. Because a good engineer can solve many problems effectively. "The company is invited to have been in Ali's Wu Hanqing, he is the safety circle has been recognized by the engineers, is also a high mountain in the field of guidance and security." ”
Competition: Preemptive time ahead of 360
When it comes to industry competition, we have to face a real problem. If companies like Qihoo 360 enter the industry, what are the competitive advantages of safe treasure?
Majnoon frankly said: "Our cause is a very new field, at the beginning of China did not have a company to do, after 360 to follow up." Even so, China has millions of websites, the market is so big, two companies have just been doing for two years, contact the customer is only a small part, far from competition. We are the first to enter the industry, to occupy a number of opportunities. ”
Security treasure for corporate Web sites to provide cloud-based security services, including free and charge two kinds of service levels. At present, the development of enterprises is not the problem of service charge, but bandwidth cost. "The cost of domestic bandwidth is very high, we have to bear 10 times times higher than the cost of foreign peers, and users more accept the concept of free." In such a background, some companies will do the quick success of things, I believe that good technology and products, will naturally bring benefits. ”
Founder: Atypical technical man
Majnoon is whenever, likes music, literature and travel, favorite band is "Pink Floyd", referring to the band, he told reporters very seriously, the band's album has been stuck in the charts for decades. And he talked about it with ease, completely forgetting that he was a pure technical man. And he smiled to his position is "atypical technical man."
He said he had seen the film "China partner" two times. "The first time it was for the entrepreneur to listen to the advice, and the second time it went to the movie when it was released." I feel very good, whether the film is the founder of the interests of entanglement, or the founder of collaborative efforts, all of them to me very deeply touched. We must understand that only by taking care of the interests of all parties can we go on for a long time. ”
The company's current phase is still in need of investor care. Their care is that let us develop products wholeheartedly in the early stage, and not blindly exert the pressure of making money. And the latter should be our care for them. As a fund, they have to consider the benefits. So in the next few years, we certainly have to consider how to make more money. Neither let our partners down, nor the investors disappointed. This is stressful, but fortunately I have always been a calm person.
