Father Of Skype: I Prefer Being A Self-Made Entrepreneur.

During the visit to China, Niklas Zennstrom, founder of Skype and Atomico venture capital foundation, recently interviewed Sina Technology. He said he hoped to cooperate with Chinese enterprises. He encouraged Chinese counterparts to innovate instead of replicating the US model.

After two years, Niklas Zennstrom once again

The Skype, Kazaa, Joost, Joltid and many other well-known Internet services co-founder, now also controls the venture capital fund Atomico.

Up to now, the fund has invested mainly in Europe, the United States and Latin America to help entrepreneurs expand overseas and establish cooperation and partnership.

"China is not the core area of our investment," Zennstrom said. Although China is a very important market, it does not lack capital, and he hopes to cooperate with Chinese enterprises.

However, Zennstrom added that if the timing is right, it will not rule out joint investment with Chinese enterprises.

In an interview with the Wall Street journal shortly before, Zennstrom said that he was visiting China to seek Chinese technology companies and help Atomico investment companies expand their business in China.

The impression that the Chinese Internet market left to the father of Skype was to observe the US market and quickly "

In summing up his experience of continuous entrepreneurship, Zennstrom said it was an exciting process to start an enterprise and lead it to success.

"But after a company matures, management is far more than strategic planning," Zennstrom admits. "I prefer being a self-made entrepreneur."

Now Zennstrom has focused on investing, but asked what field he will choose if he starts another business, he gives the answer to the mobile phone industry.
