No Lizhu: Build a Team "with the flower Shun" before the angel not to 10 people

(This article according to Li Zhu in the Open business lecture on the content of the speech) entrepreneurial process and martial arts is very similar, although the practice of martial arts, from a school, after all, is a minority, but everyone in the hard practice, walking the river, the opportunity is always favored prepared people. The martial arts practice is good, the enterprise succeeds half. What is the most important thing for a start-up founder? There are two priorities: first, to build a good team, this is the internal strength of early entrepreneurs; second, do the product, this is like martial arts moves. Martial arts routines are important, but if you do not have the internal strength, learn to reduce the Dragon 18 palm also has no use, just huaquanxiutui, hair does not work, can't beat people, before long will be killed by competitors. So I think the team is the most important thing for an early entrepreneur. Summed up a number of entrepreneurial team success or failure, found the practice of good internal strength "secret: With Flowers shun." As we all know, when playing poker, the Royal Flush 10JQKA is the biggest, all-all, is the dream of the player pursuit. This can be likened to the roles of the entrepreneurial team. As a founder, the first thing you have to ask yourself is: Am I the one? Do I love this business and have the skills I need? "or the right person is doing the right thing," he said. Building a team is the founder of the most need to spend time, Lei once said, spend 80% of the time to find a team. I think this is not too much, I have and entrepreneurs that the ability to find people is the core competitiveness. If an entrepreneur is just an otaku, it's hard for you to be a big company. A person's EQ determines how far a person can go, and EQ includes your ability to communicate, communicate, and convince the team to go with you. Founded in 2009, the Tourism network, now listed, founder Lynch is only 30 in his early years, but he founded the game company value of more than tens of billions of yuan, 5-year time, why can achieve such success? After my analysis, he always found the core team he needed, even though the company had lost important talent. So if you want to start your own business, ask me if I have the ability to find my peers and I have the ability to convince people to give me money. Because, any of the entrepreneurial team will inevitably encounter some bumpy, the founder should have the flap of the ability and the gas field. After identifying entrepreneurial ambitions, it is most important to find the co-founder of like-minded and complementary resources, and they are your K "and Q". We basically do not invest in a company that has only one founder, and the Silicon Valley's top incubator YC has asked for at least two founders to accept a project application. A person will easily fall, easily change his mind, or even give up. One to two co-founder is a better combination. You only have one card in hand, even a, a missing four, it is difficult to get together with the flower shun. Looking for the co-founder to pay attention to a few details, Buffett said: evaluation of a person, should focus on three characteristics: integrity, wisdom, vitality. If you don't have the first item, then the next two will kill you. Many people who are wrong with lovers or partners are related to the key to ignoring integrity. Like-Minded people call the team. " People usually look atThe second wisdom "is to find a person with a strong professional ability, but it may only apply to the company's barbaric career managers, not to the partners." Energy "requires every founder to be an engine, to output positive energy in the surrounding people, and to push the company forward one small step a day to move the company forward. There is an old saying in China: "The small money by diligence, Zhongcai rely on wisdom, great wealth by virtue", Buffett's talent view is in coincidence with this. The following questions need to be answered when looking for partners: do you have the same values for success? Do you have a common point of interest? Do you have complementary abilities and resources? How about the compressive strength? It's best to work together to do something difficult, talk to people around him, look at his microblog and friends, and finally think, do you like this guy? One of the shortcuts to finding partners is to find them from friends and colleagues, because mutual understanding will shorten the time of running-in, reduce communication costs, the probability of success is higher. Wang founded the United States Regiment net, found once together in the network of Wang Huiwen, he had set up his own real estate trading site, Wang with the cost of merging a company, in return for a Wang Huiwen, let people have to gasp. In general, within six months of the founder's gathering, the company's genes have evolved, including decision-making mechanisms, corporate culture, and executive power, which are all determined by the resultant force and temperament of the founders and co-founder. Therefore, it is very hard to deal with the company's initial period of time. In addition to the co-founder, the core staff is also very important to find J "This card, is to find a hook with you," the person. In the mobile internet age, technology is no longer a barrier to innovation, software and hardware open source, Chip sensor dash, greatly reduced the threshold for entrepreneurship, often more than 10 of people can make a company worth billions of of the cause, that each core staff value how much? So the times have changed, but few have replaced the tactics, Management and communication costs will also be significantly reduced. The number of employees is not a prerequisite for successful entrepreneurship, but the quality of employees must be. The following three points should be kept in mind: Before the angel investment, the entrepreneurial team should not have more than 10 people, in the start-up period, the founder of each entry staff to personally interview, the requirements of the level of staff is always higher than the average level of the company, so that the company's team will become stronger; When there is a lack of capacity in a company, it is more effective to go out and find someone rather than relying on the existing team to learn, and time and trial-and-error costs are the most valuable for startups. E Generation Driving founder Huang Bin, in the development of the Shanghai market, the entire month in Shanghai, the main job every day is to interview, build Shanghai's operating team. The base area and the moat are built this way. Find a lean core employee, build an efficient, executive-run start-up, and you're a step closer to success. Now, maybe you still need a 10 ", the founder to find some capacity, resources and complementary partners, flush together, but most of the time, early start-up companies rarely can do, are missing a card, so, together flush is just a direction of your action. What do we do? Push the concept of a team to a broader, it's not just the founders, the core employees, but the people who invest in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Looking for angel investment, in fact, not only financing to ask for money, more important is to melt wisdom, financing source, to find the angel investors can provide resources, often is the same flower shun in need of a card. For example, product positioning can get good advice, decide what not to do, because investors see a broader project, may see the previous failure of other projects and reasons, but also include how to design a reasonable ownership structure, how to promote low-cost, how to carry out the next round of financing and so on. So a flush of thinking is in the founder to get Angel investment at this stage very important things. In China, looking for angel investors can not learn Silicon Valley, to find 3F "(accessibility, Friends, jesters) money, because stupid money" may not help you, but in China entrepreneurial need to learn the skills or quite a lot of, to understand products, technology, market, but also learn to take the team, with people to engage in relations, do resources integration. " We are involved in the launch of the South and North Innovation Valley incubator, small space, large resources, fast growth, is to build a platform for entrepreneurs to provide resources, here has produced a super timetable, beans game, pingwest, 37 health, bubble noodles, such as a number of outstanding entrepreneurial projects. In short, set up a pioneering team of the same flower Shun, including the founder, the core staff, but also including angel investors, entrepreneurial instructors, shareholders, the so-called QI, Taishan move. The founder's ability to find someone is definitely a company's core competency. We all know that some famous VC, they have a concept of investment, called the cast circuit, investment in possible trends and direction. But as an angel investor, it is more important to cast people. We are committed to looking for a team that might be flush, and we are willing to be a card in the entrepreneurial team with the flowers.
