-- What Should I Prepare Before Engaging to Investors?
With the recovery of capital markets, VCs have been actively investing
new high-tech ventures. Timing is right for entrepreneurs but still
challenging for first timers: how do I get funded by the picky
investors? Indeed, the gap between a brilliant idea and a funded
startup can never be filled merely by a 10-page PowerPoint
presentation (at least not now). In particular, what is the chasm from
a cutting-edge technology to a potential real market? What is the gap
between few partners bearing same guts and an effective operational
team? What my expectation should be and what is the investor's
expectation, and how do I communicate with investors? To find the
answer, please join the panel discussion and interact with panelists.
The panel is formed by seasoned entrepreneurs with successful track
records, and reputable investors experienced with Chinese
