Try to start the "next big thing"? Good news is that you won't be alone or even feel lonely, as most likely you will come across other people who are onto more or less the same "thing". Bad news is that statistically you're unlikely to go too far anyway, not to mention hitting home run. Life is short. Simply avoiding common mistakes by other start-up enthusiasts can probably help you a lot. At this joint event co-hosted by Hanhai and NUAABA's EnL Club, Dr. Han Shen will share his takeaways from venture investing and working with entrepreneurs, covering ideation, fund raising, growth management, and other key topics. Due to the interactive nature of this dicussion, selected attendees will bring their 5 min pitch, followed by Han's feedbacks. Speaker: Han Shen - Principal, Formation 8 Ventures Investment Focus - enterprise productivity and mobile solutions enabled by data analytics
- energy technologies (energy IT for utility management, building facility management, oil&gas productivity, advanced materials, etc.)
