Salute the cafe that gives entrepreneurs a little warmth in this cold winter, the combination of Internet and coffee

Since 2007, all kinds of entrepreneurial cafes with the theme of Internet entrepreneurship have gradually appeared in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and other cities. Unlike ordinary cafes, these start-up cafes gather a lot of resources needed to start a business. maybe next door is a technology cow, and your front seat is angel investment. The cafe provides an easy platform for entrepreneurs and investors to communicate.

In the core of Zhongguancun West District in Beijing, there is a pedestrian street, which faces the North fourth Ring Road in the north and Suzhou Street in the west, with a total length of 220 meters, formerly known as Haidian Book City pedestrian Street. On June 12, 2014, the pedestrian street of Haidian Book City in Zhongguancun was officially renamed as Entrepreneurship Street, where a number of entrepreneurial service agencies gradually settled down. This 220m long street carries countless dreams of "Beijing drifters".

On May 7, Premier Li Keqiang appeared on Entrepreneurship Street to talk to entrepreneurs, who joked that "the premier drank the Internet bubble." At the same time, the social attention of Entrepreneurship Street has also reached its peak, and the Internet is full of related news. The slogan of Entrepreneurship Street has been upgraded from "drinking coffee with investors" to "entrepreneurs drinking coffee with the prime minister to talk about starting a business".

Here are some well-known start-up cafes for entrepreneurs' reference.

One hundred start-up cafes in China selected by Internet Weekly:

At present, there are not a few start-up cafes in the country, but very few are profitable. On the one hand, crowdfunding cafes need to be well planned and run by professional teams, on the other hand, they are also facing severe survival challenges. Few of the existing founders can really break even in this business.

At the same time, the venture capital industry has also suffered a "cold winter". In the widely circulated article "Coffee in Zhongguancun Entrepreneurship Street is cold", countless investors have told an entrepreneur that "they won't look at O2O projects nowadays." According to past media reports, the first team to get an investment in garage coffee was "luyi.com", but now it is "unable to display this page" when it is opened in the browser. Getting the investment is mentioned as a success story, and then no one knows what happened again. But in any case, for young people who lack financial resources and are full of dreams, this kind of entrepreneurial cafes have their own inevitability.
