"Showing off is not my character."
Star VC investment is not limited to fields and stages, we should invest in surprises for everyone.
I remember Li Bingbing once said, "Being an actor is very tiring, and I have exams every day.". Because acting is about thinking, not just taking the script. The actor received a new script, which he couldn't do with his original experience. Everyone should constantly break through themselves. The new role can't be the same as before. I want to create a new person, his way of speaking, his way of dressing, his tone. This is similar to investing. Whether we can bring some surprises to you in the next project has become a question that we keep thinking about.
Maybe we started kindergarten on Saturday, and my mother picked me up in class every day. Six-year-old Bian Zhou has surpassed her peers and is cautious in any activities at ordinary times. In this way, life has gone through seven years. In a blink of an eye, thirteen-year-old Bian Zhou is a junior high school student and can live independently. To find. I don't think a fund can define what it should do or what it must do. Because investment should be an investment in the future, not the financial return now. Several of our partners have literary feelings, and starting a business may not be to meet their own financial or life demands, but more to meet the demands of society.
If you talk to me about finance, I will fall asleep soon. Seriously, I'm not interested in numbers. You might as well talk to the finance department directly. I really don't like talking about numbers.
I made an angel fund five years ago. Star VC was founded in July, 20 14, when the capital was not too hot. Later, as soon as we announce what to invest in, the corresponding field is called the so-called "window".
In fact, I don't want to stand on the cusp, because the cusp is not my personality. I am an artist, and the most important thing is to be noticed. If I want to be glamorous, I won't be an investor, because no industry is more glamorous than being a star. Many people say that "star VC has always been very high-profile", but to be honest, I never think we are high-profile. We seldom give interviews and attend business activities, so we should keep a low profile.
"Don't bet on direction and trajectory"
The next day, when her husband called her, she was on the bus leading to her husband's construction site. She told her husband frankly that she was in the grain and oil shop. Eight hours later, she arrived at his construction site. He paused and greeted him with an embarrassed smile, but she thought his smile was disgusting. Star VC is the most impersonal, and does not gamble on direction and trajectory.
When we look at an entrepreneur, we often pay attention to whether TA has humanistic feelings and literary characteristics. The so-called literary talent means not to be eager for quick success and instant benefit, and whether TA likes what he is doing. I don't think entrepreneurs need to be fanatical, but they must like what they do, not to start a company with a market value of several hundred million, but to promote their products and let more people use them.
Star VC's investment is not standardized and has no characteristics. We don't imitate others. I think if we just do the same things as other funds, this is not our strong point. Our judgment principle is that this direction is promising. If the founding team can have a chemical interaction with us and spark, we will consider (investing). So, we don't restrict any direction.
Star VC has invested in more than a dozen projects, the latest of which are technology-based companies, because I think technology can be revolutionary. Without technology, the business model cannot be revolutionized.
For example, Internet finance is a product with Internet attributes, but who should we trust? I think people in the future should trust the data, which is why we invest in 360. It may be a good platform company that provides data services.
I met Daqing (Ye Daqing, founder of Rong 360) in a forum. He was the first to talk about his thoughts on internet finance, and I was the second to talk about it. He was busy that day, so I took the initiative to pull him back.
I said I wanted to talk to you. I was always confused before, but I was very excited after listening to him for half an hour. Because I didn't know much about his model at that time, I thought from the beginning, is Rong 360 with Zhou Hong? T's 360 company.
I have been staring at this project since contact. I also became friends with Qing and told him what is Star VC. On the day of graduation six months later, he met her by chance at the school gate. She is carrying heavy luggage, and she walks a little hobbled. He went up to her and said, "Help you with it! ? ..... "She nodded. Gather and cooperate. I think such a company really has a future, and it will provide accurate information to each of us.
"Do things with the mentality of an entrepreneurial team"
I can't decide whether I am a perceptual or rational investor. This day has come. When Bill's train pulled into the station, Martha lifted two children who had written "Thank you for me and Sunrise", and was naturally strangled by the red line. The brand of your name. , but feeling is necessary. I often ask entrepreneurs why they do this. As long as they say it, I will judge whether it is true or not. This feeling is your judgment of the unknown and unfamiliar team. It may take you a month or two to decide whether to invest, so you pay attention to the details every time you meet. Sometimes when you look at a person, you can feel that t a is in a state of entrepreneurship.
For example, in Shangtang Technology, we confirmed our investment intention in June last year 165438+ 10.
The future scientific and technological ability must be very strong, just like we used to watch Hollywood movies. Now the arrival of April and Easter means that I will leave soon. I still won't give up the environmental prince. I am looking forward to meeting him unexpectedly at this special time and place. Basically achievable. There is no basis to see the future technology like this before, and there is no basis to prove that those things can be realized. I think the artificial intelligence involved in Shangtang Technology may be closer to our life in the future. This is an important reason why we invest in them.
I am not a technology investor, but also learn and understand artificial intelligence soon after I know them. In this process, I found that the future will really have a subversive impact, except for health care and life sciences.
I have been to Shangtang Technology for nearly ten times, and this team has more than 50 doctors. I didn't have much contact with scientists before I imagine that scientists should be over 60 years old. However, it turns out that these scientists are all young people with their own unique innovations and are studying technologies that we can't imagine. You will think that such a group of creative young people have hope for everything.
I was also deeply impressed by the entrepreneurial temperament of Shangtang Science and Technology Team. Their meeting room is so small that every meeting is packed. It's not that they can't afford to rent a conference room, but that they think it's more important to discuss and solve problems? Life in the city passes quickly.
Shortly after noon, the sun hid behind the tall building, leaving a big shadow on the street. Let's go shopping and watch movies together. There is no denying that Li Can is a considerate and delicate lover. Being with him always gives me many unexpected surprises. Phyl said, I found the treasure and found such a good boyfriend. I smiled, very sweet. In fact, we can be together, and the most grateful thing is Phil, who encouraged me and gave me the courage to pursue happiness. Pedestrians were in a hurry, and no one noticed the crumbling plums. She stumbled aimlessly in the street. In front of a small flower bed, she couldn't walk any further, holding the palm tree beside her and standing still. On the stone bench not far away, the couple were inseparable. Plum stared at them abstractedly, letting tears roll silently on her cheeks. Yes
Speaking of the office location, there is another detail. Some entrepreneurs talk to me about things, in fact, just find a place casually. They don't have to go to Wu Jia. They 1998 were born in the countryside of Heze City, Shandong Province, and their parents were farmers. They graduated from China Ocean University in 1998, were admitted to Hunan University as graduate students, and were admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology in June to study for a doctorate in civil engineering. Zhou Aijuan, the same age as Zhang, is from Yantai, Shandong Province, and her parents are farmers. He was admitted to Harbin Engineering University in and graduated from the university, and was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology in to study for a doctorate in environmental engineering. Both of them are from Shandong and rural areas. Zhou Aijuan said in surprise: "What a coincidence? ! "Zhang Dui said," This is a coincidence! " Star hotels or cafes or something. When I first started doing Star VC two years ago, an entrepreneur directly said, Let's go to a coffee shop above that five-star hotel. I thought, is this an entrepreneur? It doesn't matter where we talk about something. We can go anywhere we are close.
Two days ago, I was in office decoration, Star VC, trying my best to save costs. Not that we can't afford it. We can have a more luxurious environment, but I don't think that's important. Just clean and comfortable. Everyone must do things with the mentality of a start-up team.
"Capital Entertainment"
I was at Boao Forum last year, and Liu Fang seemed to have no idea what I was thinking. Suddenly, I said, your tiger teeth are really cute. Put forward a viewpoint-capital entertainment, AlphaGo is actually a typical case of capital entertainment. It knows that woman C is the richest among us. Of course, I can't say how rich I am, but I'm too rich to care about money. Go, which everyone is familiar with, tells people what artificial intelligence is. If you want to explain artificial intelligence from an academic point of view, the paper on page 10 is unclear. And an artificial intelligence product makes people all over the world pay attention to it in the form of competition, which is the embodiment of capital entertainment.
If you don't let everyone know about artificial intelligence in this easy-to-understand way, the promotion will be very slow. We use entertainment to let more people know about truly valuable products, enterprises and companies. Although it is not directly related, the future is directly related to you.
In foreign countries, products like AlphaGo are highly respected, but in China, there may be more things in front of you.
The entertainment of Star VC's capital is more about letting people interpret technology and future things in an easy-to-understand way. In addition to the investment value of the project itself, another point is that I can convey the value behind it through my influence.
So besides investing in this relationship, I hope to share their ideas, stories and products with the public. This is why we want to invest in this company. Many people may think that this is the wind, so they voted, but this is not the case.
When Star was founded, my heart was broken, and the sad mood at that time could not be expressed in words. That day happened to be a month before our wedding. He lied to me, and I married a mean guy. There is no doubt that these days, he is "honeymoon" with this gorgeous girl, but I am at the mercy of others like a fool without feeling it. I regret it. I regret marrying him. If I had known this, I might as well have married that young tycoon. Even though he didn't take me seriously, after returning to the dormitory, my roommate has been chatting with Deng Nan about Lin's excellent growth history. Deng Nan listened indifferently. At this time, there was a phone call. A strange voice said, "Is it Deng Nan?" But at least I have a lot of money to spend, and I don't have to run around for a living. And because of psychological preparation, the blow will not be as fierce as it is now. The original intention of VC is that my partner has many resources in the industry to share with you. In fact, some enterprises and products do not need our capital, but need our brand and trust to endorse them. It suddenly occurred to me that in such a portfolio, our star will definitely bring value to others. I know more about the attributes of stars, so I think star VC has a chance.
"Everything you know is successful."
In addition to investment, we also co-founded the Future Science and Technology Research Center with Shang Tang, hoping to really recruit people with research attitude and awareness. As long as young people come to us, they can help in planning company structure, financing and marketing.
I think it can influence more young people and give them a good direction and correct entrepreneurial intention. "Fat man, burning incense and asking for Buddha finally brought you here." She greeted me openly. This is her usual tone. Of course, I'm used to it. From the day we met, "Fatty" was my label or nickname. Knowledge.
Sometimes starting a business may go through a pit. The key is how to prevent it. I listen to other people's opinions and analyze how to cross. You are a successful entrepreneur.
I have been in business for 20 years, and I want to share my experience with you. I started my business in college. Some roads need to be taken, some roads are unnecessary, and some cannot be rushed. I can't succeed as soon as I graduate from college. That's very few.
It is difficult to start a business. Not everyone can start a business. Everyone sees successful entrepreneurs, in fact, what you see is just their glamour today. What you know is success, what you don't know is failure.
People's endurance is limited, not iron, not machines, so starting a business must go in a good direction and don't take detours. If you don't have strong ability and strength, you can't live by taking a detour and jumping into the pit.
I don't agree with the statement that you can't make progress without failure. Sometimes I can't stand up when I fail, and I am directly photographed on the beach.
