June Beijing, evening.  After work, more than 10 women hurried to a normal classroom in a business school.  Having eaten a simple snack, the party has officially begun.  At such gatherings, DFJ's chief partner, Zhang, and her partners-the founders of well-known companies, partners in well-known venture capital companies, and struggling entrepreneurs-have been doing this for three years.  How to be a leader, how to manage enterprises, how to maintain the balance between work and life, talk to the day, they hate can not continue all night. Zhang told the first financial daily, since 3 years ago and a group of friends to create a non-profit organization WIL (Chinese Women's Entrepreneurship program, Women in motivate), each month will be together for case discussions, lectures, outdoor activities, in addition,  In particular, they have organized a six-person group of senior industry professionals to conduct one-on-one coaching for members at least once a month. Helping female entrepreneurs to lead the list includes CID partner Lowen, Kay Peng Hua Ying partner Ru Linchi, today Capital founder Xu, GGV Capital partner Jiafen, Walden International managing director Wang Yimin, Amber Education founder Huang and so on.  All counselling is voluntary and free of charge. "For young entrepreneurs, a long puzzled problem, often a mentor to the Enlightenment, of course, you have to take the initiative, diligence."  "A student who has received jiafen counseling says. From 2006 to 2007, Ru Linchi, Zhang, Wang Yimin and so on in the work, spent a whole year with entrepreneurs, investors to communicate, constantly trimming their own ideas.  They have finally established Wil's mission: to help more and more women take on more important leadership roles by sharing experiences, feelings and connections. Wang Yimin is currently the vice president of Wil, and Zhang, the work of venture is always in contact with various entrepreneurs.  "What can be done for the entrepreneur" itself is one of the most important things that VCs care about. In the enterprise from the establishment to the mature 5-8 years, investment and financing is actually a short period, this stage before and after a long way, entrepreneurs need not to rely on the strength of venture to go down. "So we hope to build a platform to absorb the excellent female entrepreneurs, help them to cultivate the internal strength, to achieve personal growth, but also to help their enterprises long-term development."  "Wang Yimin said.  Around the case of the incentive Huoy (SVB Capital) Shanghai company director general Manager of the 2009 joined the Wil, on the one hand, friends Zhang, such as the Force invited, on the one hand, her experience also let her deeply feel that the growth of women need role model (roles advisor). Huoy has more than 12 years of experience in the field of venture investment and has been a design engineer in Silicon Valley PC industry for many years. "No matter what kind of career, entrepreneur, investor or engineer, you rarely see a female role counselor, and those who aspire to success, if they can see a living example of success around, they are more confidentStep by step. "I was very, very difficult to meet a role counselor, if I can encounter a very excited to ask her all kinds of career problems."  "Huoy is currently responsible for designing a series of activities for Wil, such as exploring the topic of female leadership.  Wang, founder and CEO of the Dunhuang Network, was one of the first female entrepreneurs to join Wil. "There must be a high degree of recognition between venture and entrepreneur, such as the goal is to be a company with lofty ideals, rather than a quick buck."  Wang told the newspaper.  The "mentors" who play the female advantage wil know that in this era of mental competition, interpersonal relationship and teamwork, women no longer need to become a traditional woman, not to imitate the style of male leaders, but by virtue of their own advantages, to become a gentle, inner power of excellent managers. Huoy told reporters that women look at the point of view and men are not the same, men are very tough, not necessarily can be made.  And women are naturally good at dealing with complex relationships, the same meaning in different words, in different ways, in the coordination of complex interest relations, often let male compatriots from sigh inferior. For example, there is a VC to raise a new round of funds, limited partners in the form of fund-raising and valuation issues have their own views, how to persuade partners to take money, but not to harm the interests of VC? In the past, male independently in the VC industry, it is likely to say that "the price is the prices, can not be low", and women from different angles to see the problem. "My approach is that although the price can not be bargained, but the terms may be modified, in accordance with the requirements of the investors to make corresponding changes when the change is fully acceptable, so that the investor's psychological balance, but also reached the purpose of raising funds."  "Wang Yimin told reporters, in addition to have with the Enterprise management match the leadership, women entrepreneurs also have to reflect the quality of women, such as enthusiasm, caring for others, gracefully handle changes in the situation, and even difficulties, in addition, the pursuit of beauty, family care is also the students get together often discussed issues. For many female entrepreneurs, "good mother" and "Good Wife" are always the first in life. Work is the way to live a happy family. "Treat your family attentively, they can feel your love, so you can enjoy the happy time with your family." "Huoy said.
