Jiangxi's first Internet start-up platform may attract investment by having a cup of coffee

With the rapid popularity of mobile terminals such as smart phones and the explosive application of APP (mobile application software) around the world, mobile Internet entrepreneurship has become the focus of social attention. On October 10, Vanguard Angel Coffee, Jiangxi's first mobile Internet entrepreneurship platform, was launched in Nanchang High-tech Zone. This innovative platform, similar to Beijing's "garage coffee", was founded by several young college students and aims to provide a zero-distance docking platform for Jiangxi entrepreneurs and angel investors.

It costs one cup of coffee a day to start a business

"entrepreneurs only need to order a cup of coffee to enjoy a free open office environment for a day, and if there is a good project, they may also get investment from angel investors." Pioneer Angel Coffee founder Shen Huangchao is a 19-year-old sophomore majoring in e-commerce. He told reporters that inspired by the "garage coffee" model, he and seven alumni created this innovative platform.

"We focus on entrepreneurs at different stages of growth, starting with providing a location, to a table, a house, a floor, and finally supporting them to grow into a good company." Shen Huangchao said.

More than 10 enterprises and institutions are stationed

The first mobile Internet entrepreneurial platform in Jiangxi has been strongly supported by Nanchang High-tech Zone and Vanguard Software Group.

At yesterday's inauguration ceremony, 10 companies, including Kaitian Animation, Skyscreen things couplet, and 10 excellent teams of Nanchang Internet Entrepreneurship Competition, such as Itoy Intelligent Toys and Souba, as well as a number of platform service organizations such as Unicom Jiangxi Branch and EMS Logistics became the first batch of units.

How to make a profit is still being explored.

However, the viability of start-up cafes such as Garage Coffee has been questioned. Almost all of the three famous start-up cafes in Beijing, such as garage coffee, beta coffee and 3W coffee, make money by selling coffee.

"it is relatively difficult to operate, so you have to pay for it first." Shen Huangchao said that you can stay all day with a cup of coffee and a few snacks, and you are free to use printers, desktop touch screens, conference rooms and other office equipment. More importantly, investors are stationed during the day and are filled with venture capital salons at night and weekends, resulting in high operating costs.

Some analysts believe that coffee is just a medium for entrepreneurs and investors to communicate, either with wine or tea. These small networks combine to form a huge network, integrate network resources, provide convenient services, so that people who come to drink coffee can eat "candy" before the business can be sustainable.

Noun interpretation

The concept of "garage coffee" originated from the entrepreneurial experience of several IT giants. Bill Hewlett and David Packard founded Hewlett-Packard in a California garage in the 1930s, Apple in a garage by Jobs in the 1970s, Microsoft in a garage by Bill Gates, and Google in a garage at the end of the last century.
