with "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" becoming the national strategy of China, a wave of entrepreneurship has been set off all over the country, especially among youth groups. A few days ago, the establishment of Shanghai Xuhui Youth Maker Alliance and the unveiling ceremony of Youchuang Youth Center (Youchuang Youth Center) were held in Youzu Network. As the first step towards the goal of "the next Silicon Valley", makers can get all-round support from five engines, including resources, funds and mentors, covering the whole cycle of entrepreneurship.
Five powerful engines boost the entrepreneurial launch of Youchuang Center
"This is the best time and the worst time." It is most appropriate to describe the current entrepreneurial environment with this sentence written by Dickens at the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities. Entrepreneurial enthusiasm is unprecedented, and capital and market are highly unified. However, the era of mobile Internet is surging and the market is unpredictable. If you want to succeed in starting a business, "the right time, the right place and the right people" are indispensable. What Youchuang Center has built is a high-starting point and high-level innovation and entrepreneurship platform, which provides five powerful engines for makers to boost entrepreneurial success.
Ethnic Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center
1. Tourist industry resources. Youzu's products are distributed in more than 1 countries around the world, and they have established strategic cooperative relations with Internet giants such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Yahoo. Mob Big Data covers 2.1 billion mobile terminal users around the world, and has unparalleled advantages in product research and development, precision marketing and global distribution. These resources are rare for start-up enterprises.
second, a strong tutor team. Lynch, Chairman and CEO of Youzu Network, Idei Nobuyuki, former Chairman and CEO of Sony, Liao Jianwen, Vice President of cheung kong graduate school of business, and Li Zhu, Vice President of China Youth Angels Association ... Entrepreneurial youth will get guidance and help from their mentors in the process of starting a business, so they will avoid detours.
Third, give priority to investment and hold shares for incubation. While being an incubator, tourists will launch a seed fund of no more than 5 million dollars in the future, which will be used for project investment in the incubator. The fund has the priority to invest in high-quality projects settled in Youchuang Center. Through the incubation of investment and shareholding, the interests of entrepreneurs are the same.
fourth, graft resources to reduce risks. As a technology business incubator invested by listed companies, Youchuang Center is an important part of "Pan-Game Industry Investment", one of the five core businesses of tourists. Its positioning is "industrial chain+incubation+investment", focusing on investment incubation of early entrepreneurial projects, helping entrepreneurs reduce risks and promote the rapid development of projects by grafting upstream and downstream resources in the industrial chain.
5. Free and superior entrepreneurial environment. Youchuang Center consists of a three-body theme cafe, an incubator and an accelerator. The incubator has an entrepreneurial space of about 17 square meters and about 15 workstations, which provides the entrepreneurial team with a free entrepreneurial working environment for three months, and then decides whether to invest through professional evaluation.
To build the "next Silicon Valley" in an all-round way
There is no shortage of creativity, entrepreneurs, capital and scientific and technological intellectual resources. Lynch said that Xuhui, which has such a good entrepreneurial environment, is expected to become the next Silicon Valley, and the Youchuang Center is the first step towards this goal, which is exactly the same as Wang Hongzhou, deputy head of Xuhui District. Wang Hongzhou said that Xuhui District is a hot spot for innovation and entrepreneurship. Here, entrepreneurs are close to industry, business partners, high technology and capital, and the government will further integrate and implement various policies to create a better environment for innovation and entrepreneurship. These all reflect that the support of Youchuang Center for makers is full-cycle and all-round.

Zheng Xingyun, the representative of Young Maker, summed up the all-round support of Youchuang Center as "three good"-good people, good environment and good policies. Shanghai culture in Xuhui District has a significant influence, and universities are full of talents. Sitting in caohejing emerging technology development zone, the brand network of tourists, which is deeply loved by young people, is also conducive to helping enterprises get close to target users; The policy support given by Xuhui District Government makes the entrepreneurial environment very comfortable.
Shi Wei, the representative of the Youth Entrepreneurship Mentor Group, stated that he would do his best and contribute to the whole entrepreneurial cycle. Shi Wei believes that in addition to financial support, more help should be provided to entrepreneurs in the early stage of project positioning, support in the allocation of various resources in the middle stage and assistance in capital expansion in the later stage of the project. Youchuang Center brings all resources together to help more young entrepreneurs realize their entrepreneurial dreams.
Recently, Shanghai proposed to build a science and technology innovation center with global influence, which will be a golden opportunity for the vast number of entrepreneurial youth. From the prime minister to the mayor, they have stood for entrepreneurs on various occasions. This kind of support for entrepreneurship is unprecedented in the 3 years of reform and opening up. As Lynch said, we are now standing at the starting point of "China Silicon Valley" in the future. "Youchuang Center is to create an atmosphere. No matter you are the owner of a listed company, the founder of a small project, or even just a company employee, as long as you have a dream of starting a business, you can find a comfortable environment and seat in Xuhui."
