VC to come to the door to vote: Please come out to venture behind the new CEO

I dark Horse: The Fund bubble came, did not think of this degree: VC said you start a business, I give you money, to find office space for you to register the company, you just promised to start on the line. This is a VC "black Draft", is the VC please turn around. Two days ago I took part in a small Internet offline activity, and according to Convention, the audience and guests who were present before the event began to say a few simple introductions. After listening to the 40来, I found that 3 people came to the same investment agency, so that the agency's last investor, who introduced himself, said: "If I say our company name again, everyone on the scene should remember." "To tell you the truth, I've heard it 3 times, but I still don't remember the name of the investment agency." However, I am very strange is why a small activity only 40来 people, an investment organization can come to 3 people. You know, even a 2000-person Internet Industry Summit, Pingwest may have sent 1-2 reporters/editors to the past, because there are so many internet activities in Beijing, and we know that the entrepreneurs who are really worth talking about, the projects to be reported, the "dry goods" that are worth listening to are not so much. In fact, the presence of 3 of investors like an investment agency in this small offline activity is just the appearance of the current VC industry-too many investors. Because there are many investors, China's entrepreneurial environment has now developed to a new stage: Because VC has investment needs, so they ask you to come out to start a business. For example, one of my friends who has recently left the media industry has encountered this situation: I do not want to start a business, hand also did not project, but investors find to say "you start a business, I give you money, to find office space for you to register the company, you just promise to start the business on the line." "The reason behind this is that the emerging investment agency needs to invest in a vertical sector of the media, but the media that it wants to vote have either been voted on by another agency, or have already melted the angel and a round, and the price will be higher after the B round, so the idea of the agency is: So just get someone to do it all over again. Of course, the last friend felt that the vertical industry media is no good to cut into opportunities, their own accumulation of resources is not enough to successfully operate a media, so thank investors at the same time politely refused the VC demand as the starting point of the entrepreneurial motion. However, not all people will refuse to send the opportunity and money to the present, and not all investors will be rejected. Because NetEase former editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief--yy founder of Lee Colling, the founder of the ape question bank Li Yong, Mo Mo founder Yantan, Snowball founder of the three-article after the performance is very good, so the investment agencies are not only actively lobbying NetEase portal channels of the middle and high rise out of business, and even waiting for the queue. Whatever he/she does, vote first. Like this August, just from the position of NetEase editor-in-chief Zhao, now the company's products have not appeared, but the financing has been talked about B round. If this thingA few years ago, we may find it very absurd, after all, Yantan in 2011 years to the MO melt a round is very difficult, but now the investment market is completely another scene. After reading these you may feel that because the media industry to contact investors more opportunities, so there will be VC to the door to vote, but in fact the investors selected certainly not just the media industry practitioners. Wei, a Facebook technology director with Mark Zuckerberg's visit to Tsinghua University, said last year that there had been a scramble by VC to find a visit to Silicon Valley, give money to resources, and do whatever you want to do. At that time, Wei itself not too strong entrepreneurial will, certainly did not shape the project idea, but can not withstand n well-known VC investor's advocacy and temptation, once moved the mind almost agreed to one of the VC request. But Facebook soon gave him a promotion, so it didn't work, leaving behind a lot of VC resentment and obsession. And for example, the former 360 senior vice President Li, who recently founded the mobile desktop Platform Apus, at the beginning of this year have not thought good what to do, has been outside to find peers chat, VC has been lined up waiting for him to venture out, and directly killed to 360 headquarters office waiting for him, the scene is spectacular. Indeed, there are some less fortunate entrepreneurs who have failed in the project after agreeing to a request from an investor. For example, one of the domestic Bitcoin trading platforms that has been shut down is largely because an agency is interested in bitcoin, and then they find a highly skilled returnee entrepreneur to give money to the platform, a typical propositional composition. Unfortunately, the project, which was brokered by the investment agency, was closed by itself after a year of running out of time. So you see, although the Internet circle of people standing on the table every day to tell stories are "user pain point" and "product experience", but now some VC investment projects when the reference factors and users, products what the point of no relationship, entrepreneurial starting point has been to solve a certain kind of people's general needs, into a "response to the needs of VC." VC feel hot, no project to create projects to vote, no one to do. VC institutions have become a powerful catalyst for Internet entrepreneurship, which even brings up a group of emerging "CEO". No wonder, after all, that China now has more than 1300 investment institutions, and the competition between them is quite fierce. For those who are fortunate enough to be selected by the VC, the potential entrepreneur, in the secretly grateful, but also to think about what they will do to the probability of how much? Do you ever wonder whether this scene is really ubiquitous when you're doing something that seems like a demand scene? How will this entrepreneurial behavior end in 1-2 years? My boss said at a recent regular meeting that if you haven't met someone outside to do something, then it's time to work hard. Think about it, in the current industry environment, the probability of not being selected as if your products have been madeIt's kind of weird not to get the money.
