The way out for Chinese creators

Know the concept of "creators" or a new book from Anderson, "Create a guest: The new industrial Revolution, so perhaps you are not familiar with, but compared to his new work, his other book" Long Tail Theory "in the field of marketing management is well-known, this as I am a respectable creators, He recently resigned as editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, the hottest U.S. focusing on his open source projects and robotics start-ups, he explains: "For me, this is an opportunity to pursue entrepreneurial dreams, and the mission of Wired is to influence and document the digital revolution that will continue and expand." ”

The creation of the popular Silicon Valley wind, now also blow to China. The word "Chong" comes from the English word "Maker", in broad sense, refers to the person who does not aim at profit, and tries to turn all kinds of ideas into reality. In a narrow sense, those who are based on the hardware invention reengineering are called the creators.

I remember when I was in college, about 10 years ago, had participated in the "Challenge Cup" college student Entrepreneurship Competition, which was in the creation Circle and college students entrepreneurial community influential activities, some from Tsinghua and Shanghai Jiaotong University students Entrepreneurial team, with technology patents and impress the market business plan, access to Angel investment, Has not graduated from the start of the first bucket of gold story, has also touched the year in school students entrepreneurial heart. I remember the year with the guidance of the teacher International Tribology Professor Yang Jianhan of the patented technology, and small partners to create a car brake pads business plan, won the silver medal in Shandong province. But it's just a paper certificate and a little bonus. Although you can add a sum to your resume, it is 108,000 miles from the actual venture.

Just yesterday, "Create a guest era, made up" 2013 Lenovo to create a customer contest officially launched, the author was fortunate as a media observer to participate in activities, compared to more than 10 years ago, "the Challenge Cup, today's school younger sisters are facing a more active science and technology entrepreneurial environment and more scientific and technological venture investment channels. The competition is hoping to help investors find good folk and create an innovative platform that will help them transform the idea of innovation into reality and drive China's innovation power.

Over the past more than 10 years, the internet has been a lightning-rattling, sweeping the old business system and bridging the information divide, what is the latest technological innovation in Silicon Valley today, in seconds, China on the other side of the ocean can be informed that there are a large number of open-minded geeks, sharing open source code, This allows today's creators to have a higher vision and pattern at the start, with the technology and information reserves that the predecessors had never had.

The last 10 years of China's "creators" in the Internet field, the emergence of a rival to the world bat super Internet companies, but also for China to build a shape of the internet at the bottom of the ecosystem.

In the next 10 years, China's new creators will be involved in a wave of international competition in mobile Internet, IoT and wearable devices that will penetrate into our lives with more personalized labels.

A good and complete team of creators should consist of these types of geeks:

Creative person

They are the elves of the creation, they are good at discovering problems, and find ways to improve, to organize them into ideas and ideas, so as to constantly create new needs.

Designers

They are the creators of the wizards, they can transform all ideas and ideas into detailed executable drawings or plans.

Implemented by

They are the creators of the swordsman, without their strong action and technology, all is illusory.

After a decade of great development of the Internet industry, with an international vision and localization of innovative talent in a large number of emerging, China's designers are also in urgent need from the "creative market" of the hand-workshop stage to come out, the initial test of the design, applied to more scientific and technological content of hardware products. Not to mention the ability of Chinese engineers.

In addition to entrepreneurial planning and a good team, if you want to achieve the dream, whether to get investment is also important. And China's venture to the mobile internet and wearable equipment, such as the enthusiasm and the pursuit of technology, is unprecedented. In addition to this, the smart watch Pebble as the representative of innovative hardware to benefit from the promotion of the public-chip model, but also to create more confidence.

A start-up company from Shenzhen moved their robotic kit Makeblock to the U.S. platform Kickstarter, where the financing amounted to $180,000 trillion, 6 times times the expected amount. Far beyond the expectations of founder Jianjun.

Submitted

The activity of the creators is related to the maturity of the whole industry chain. Anderson says, "Create a customer" business needs of technical support, industry support, social environment and other necessary conditions have been completed, the United States, Japan, China and other countries have formed a complete ability to undertake "digital DIY" samples or models, so that the transformation into a certain scale production of mature manufacturing capacity.

All this, let the creators from the dream closer.
