Yes, it's better than nothing. Li Xiang, on the other hand, believes that as an entrepreneur, he thinks there is plenty of garage coffee in Nanjing.

Zhang Chunlin, deputy general manager of China Control Investment, the founder of the start-up bazaar, affirmed that there must be garage coffee. "Yes, it's better than nothing."

Li Xiang, on the other hand, believes that as an entrepreneur, he thinks there is plenty of garage coffee in Nanjing. "it doesn't matter whether it's from the government or from the private sector. I am not ready to raise money there when I go into the garage coffee. The best I can do is to promote my project, brand and network. "

"Garage coffee, as a mechanism platform, must exist. The most common need for entrepreneurs who have nothing to do with angel investment is to build a public platform, which is very demanding. "

"first of all, we have to think, why make garage coffee?" Zhang Qiaozhong, assistant dean of the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, New York University of Technology, Nanjing University, said calmly that they had been doing the Youth Innovation Salon. First, they invited the presidents of Cisco and Microsoft in China to be guests and celebrities. Later, they found that there was no value and there was nothing to follow. "it should really help entrepreneurs." Zhang Chunlin said bluntly.

There are not many themed cafes in Nanjing, and people who come to garage coffee communicate with each other on the theme of starting a business. Rui Zhiying, general manager of Black Tortoise 321 venture capital themed coffee, as a front-line worker, believes that since we make garage coffee, we should not let people play cards, smoke or sit at the table in it. but bring everyone (entrepreneurs) together to communicate, capital, investment and so on. "it is in there that we pull and maintain relations, and here it is a process of mutual harmony."

As an entrepreneur, Li Xiang believes that as the spring tide of innovation and entrepreneurship has spread in Nanjing, and some individuals and even the government have come up with the idea of establishing a third-party entrepreneurial platform, "garage-like coffee" will emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. "for entrepreneurs, this is a good thing. Beijing Garage Coffee is located in Zhongguancun, where a large number of TMT entrepreneurs are gathered. The garage and entrepreneurs need each other and hit it off. Nanjing does not have the entrepreneurial atmosphere of TMT, and each district focuses on different industries. The more "quasi-garages", the more choices for entrepreneurs. For example, it is definitely inconvenient for entrepreneurs in Jiangning to go to the start-up coffee in Xinjiekou. Every region has such a service platform, which will bring a lot of convenience to entrepreneurs. "
