The Zhongguancun management committee recently released the 2012 Zhongguancun entrepreneurship development report (hereinafter referred to as the entrepreneurial report). In 2011, the number of newly established enterprises in Zhongguancun exceeded 4000 for the first time, and the entrepreneurial activity even exceeded the level of the Internet boom ten years ago. In these enterprises, 65% of the founders devote themselves to hard work in order to "realize themselves".

From "venture capital seeking" to "capital chasing business"

After being reported by technology blog 36 krypton, there are several investors who are interested in related fields to visit in the second days. After that, Yin sang, who returned from studying in the United States, did not expect that his entrepreneurial projects in Zhongguancun could enjoy the treatment of being chased by capital.

Entrepreneurship report shows that in 2011, the number of newly established enterprises in Zhongguancun exceeded 4000 for the first time, reaching 4243.

Behind this startling growth of entrepreneurial projects is even more astonishing capital growth. In 2011, the number of newly established enterprises in Zhongguancun increased by 17% over the same period last year, while the 2011 angel fund scale was 3.48 times that of 2010, up 248% over the same period last year. Capital growth is faster than the growth of venture capital. Zhongguancun's entrepreneurial development has entered the era of entrepreneurial project oriented.

"Before it was scarce capital, now it has become a scarce venture project." The chief executive of the Zhongguancun Management Committee said that the former venture capital chased for investment. Now many venture capital institutions have extended to the early stage in order to get good project sources, and have established incubators through self building or cooperation with early entrepreneurial service institutions, and actively explored and nurture excellent seeds. These have also objectively promoted the development of entrepreneurial activities and entrepreneurial service industries.

6 more entrepreneurs than speculation

As the saying goes, attitude decides success or failure. What kind of goal does Zhongguancun entrepreneur start with?

Why not create a career that belongs to you?" but Kevin, 23 year old founder of Yuet Yin's classic network technology, with such a simple statement and an excellent product plan, persuaded a senior architect who was responsible for the technology structure of a ten million level traffic website and was 36 years old. Internet The company switched to a handful of small companies.

"I still want to continue to be a musician, but it's just another way. Traditional music records are seriously affected by the Internet, and I want to find a new way out through the Internet. " Shi Kaiwen, who graduated from Central Conservatory of Music, has turned from "art youth" to "technical youth", but still has a long hair with a full shoulder full of art.

Entrepreneurial report shows that among entrepreneurs in Zhongguancun, the proportion of entrepreneurs who have entrepreneurial ideals and start their own businesses is 65%, far higher than the proportion of national opportunistic entrepreneurs in the 2011 Global Entrepreneurship watch China report.

Zhongguancun Management Committee responsible person said. According to the entrepreneurship report, in the field of electronic information industry, one of the most advantageous industries in Zhongguancun, young entrepreneurs under 34 account for 47%, nearly 50%.

Why do more and more young people want to start their own businesses in Zhongguancun and become more and more frequent? "Higher education is getting more and more, and the channels to understand advanced business models in developed countries are getting more and more unobstructed, and the generation of mobile Internet has made the threshold of entrepreneurial technology lower and lower. These are some reasons why young people are willing to start their own businesses." Zhongguancun Management Committee responsible person said.

The perfect entrepreneurial environment such as services, funds and mentors has become an important reason for more and more young entrepreneurs with entrepreneurial ideas.

"It's too difficult for us to find money when we start our business. Unexpectedly, two or three years passed, but things were quite different.

The first time that Kevin, the third start-up product of Jing, was first announced by the Zhongguancun innovation incubator 36 krypton + the open day, it quickly attracted more than ten investors with investment intentions, and the team did not have to pay any fees for the whole activity. For a young man who has no foundation in the Internet industry and capital circles, this is undoubtedly a key "blood enriching".
