Why do entrepreneurs like to drink coffee in cafes?

Why do entrepreneurs like to drink coffee? "Coffee is just a medium that allows people to sit down and collide and interact. Create new things together through the exchange of values, resources and information. " Yao Jingxing, developer of Creator Space, said. Du Juan, general manager of Yangpu Zhi Venture Investment Development Co., Ltd., believes that the Internet and Wechat can never replace face-to-face communication between people, and the university road has just prepared enough carriers for the collision of ideas.

"Cafe Street" has become a brainstorming and creative workshop for entrepreneurs, as well as a "storm" for investors and entrepreneurial teams to brainstorm. This alone is the envy of other science and technology parks in the city. Many parks are planned according to the idea of industrial areas, not to mention cafes, that is, there is a lack of living facilities. "how can closed buildings attract entrepreneurs?" Here, we also have the office space needed by enterprises at different stages: the smallest is the space for mass creation, or you can rent a desk; for a larger one, you can go to the Chuangzhi Square on both sides of University Road. LOFT;, which is about 80 square meters, is the enterprise center and science and technology center of the creative world, with an area ranging from hundreds, thousands to tens of thousands of square meters. In other words, one path condenses the life cycle of the enterprise.

Having coffee doesn't mean you can start a business.

"Cafe Street" is not formed spontaneously, it is a road specially opened up in the planning of the creative world. One end is connected to Fudan and Caida, and the other to the park, connecting knowledge and industry. The prosperity of the university road is not achieved overnight. Ten years ago, few students were willing to start their own business. although they had first-class hardware, they did not have a target audience, and the creative world was deserted. College Road became a street of sports brand discount stores because of its lack of popularity.

The original intention did not give up because of this. The creative world began to cultivate a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation. For example, set up incubators, build IPO Club Entrepreneurship Cafe, organize various entrepreneurial salons and activities, and even offer entrepreneurship courses in colleges and universities. Today, ten years later, college students' entrepreneurial enthusiasm has increased from 2% to 20%.

At this time, entrepreneurial outsourcing services are needed, including enterprise registration, investment and financing services, legal services, accounting services and so on. "if University Road is to become an entrepreneurial street, it is crucial to let entrepreneurs and all kinds of entrepreneurial resources converge and merge on this road to produce chemical reactions. And one of the effective ways to trigger this integration is cafes and restaurants. " Yang Ling, general manager of Shanghai Cloud Computing Innovation Base, said.

In order to make the atmosphere of University Road stronger and really become a place for entrepreneurs to communicate, with the efforts of relevant departments in Yangpu District, Wujiaochang Street and Ryan Group, University Road Cafe was the first to be allowed to open across doors in 2012, and the format was adjusted and upgraded. "in order to do business across the door, there were a lot of special meetings in the district." A person who experienced it recalled. Innovation is to make the impossible possible.
