I've worked in startups across China and the US for 20 years. The American playbook is easier to follow.
"I started my first company with my friend after finishing my third year at Zhejiang University. My father gave me about $5,000 to start our own gaming company. I quit college after three years to build my startup, as I was the only one in my family who attended college."
"After about 10 years, my gaming company became very successful. I wanted a better answer if my kid asked what I do. I do not want to build another Chinese game. I want to be a big global player."
"In 2016, I moved to Seattle, met friends at Apple and Google, and saw Silicon Valley. I decided to build a new startup and something real hardware. I raised $1 million in seed funding in 2016 for an immersive collaboration platform."
"We've managed to build products and scale the business through e-commerce, and set up distribution and sales pipelines. In 2024, I pivoted my startup to the AI workspace sector."
