Xiao Qiyou invested in the creation of many websites last year.
Without exception, these websites are proven excellent websites.
For example, the Fairy Crowdfunding website, which was launched in the vast tide of websites, did not attract much attention at first. However, as the European debt crisis continued to spread, the U.S. economy also deteriorated, and banks and investment funds
After the tightening of monetary policy, it gradually became popular.
In the past, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs had no worries about taking advantage of others to invest as long as they had good ideas.
As for whether they can be as successful as Google, FAE, wave OK and other companies in the end, these technology geeks don't care, as long as they can enjoy the process of their own creation and research and development.
But the money-making effect is just that.
As long as they see one out of a hundred other people being super successful, those investors will actively ignore the 99 failed investments and then pour in more actively.
Therefore, life has been very good for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs in recent years.
But first there was the subprime mortgage crisis, then the financial crisis, and then the debt crisis. Many funds suffered heavy losses during this, so that the money in their hands shrank continuously and they did not dare to invest as generously as before.
.
So these Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are in trouble.
Especially those entrepreneurs who only need tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of funds will have an even bigger headache.
Don't think that fund companies with less money will not care about investing. In fact, they have no interest at all in this kind of idea with a small investment.
In the past, they could cast a wider net, but now they would rather see another fae wave emerge and make sure it can become bigger before investing.
Although you won’t earn as much as if you joined from the beginning, it is still a very stable way to make money.
As for these small entrepreneurs, don't look at the talent of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. There are more than hundreds of thousands of R&D personnel in Silicon Valley. If they are all given, the little will add up to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
He went out lightly.
At this time, Fairy Crowdfunding, which had already gained a little fame, suddenly began to vigorously advertise. You can see it in almost newspapers, TV, and the Internet.
Entrepreneurs are all smart people. As soon as they saw the rules and regulations, they knew what was going on. Then they saw that this was "Fairy Crowdfunding", a company founded by Xiao Qi, and its credibility was guaranteed, so they naturally entered.
As soon as they entered, they naturally discovered the benefits and did a little research. Immediately, many people uploaded the general content of their ideas to the Internet, and then successfully completed crowdfunding contracts and obtained them.
Money began to be spent on research and development.
With a successful example, many people followed suit.
What they are facing this time are thousands of ordinary people. How do they want to impress ordinary investors? Some of these entrepreneurs don't understand, and some are very proficient. And the key to their success is whether they can
Persuade ordinary investors, rather than looking at their research and development directions.
So, after everyone pondered and discussed with each other, they became more and more accustomed to how to deal with these ordinary investors, and then there were examples of successful crowdfunding one after another. By November, there had been more than 3,200 large and small crowdfunding projects.
Examples appear.
Among them, the most powerful one is about the research and development of environmentally friendly bicycle materials, which raised more than 5 million US dollars from more than 1,200 investors in one go!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the entire entrepreneurial and investment circles!
Suddenly, everyone’s attention to Fairy Crowdfunding has grown.
After Milner once again spent money on publicity, this new entrepreneurial and investment model began to expand in the United States, and even many people in Europe invested in it.
Although we are in the midst of a financial crisis, the ordinary middle class still has some inventory, and it is not very reliable for them to invest in the stock market and funds. Now they have discovered that there is such an investment opportunity, and it does not require a lot of money, and you can still have more.
Invest in some projects, which makes them very excited.
If you don't succeed, you will lose hundreds or thousands of dollars, but what if you succeed?
What if I find the next fae wave or the next uber? Wouldn’t that be a huge profit?
All right.
Now these ordinary investors are also trapped in the dilemma of this wealth-making effect.
And the more difficult the external environment is, the more willing they are to invest in it.
Seeing that ordinary investors are so active, professional investors and investment companies have also begun to take this crowdfunding website seriously.
New crowdfunding plans, detailed capital investment guarantees, perfect distribution plans...etc., etc., are like opening a new door in the investment industry, and greatly lowering the threshold, allowing ordinary people to
Everyone can join forces and participate in it.
If the strength of one person is not enough, then a hundred or a thousand people can pool their money together to help entrepreneurs, and there is hope of getting rich.
They suddenly discovered to their horror that if this crowdfunding website were to continue to develop and allow tens or hundreds of millions of people to participate, their so-called financial advantages, network advantages, etc., would not work at all.
, your job will be ruined!
However, they are still panicked, and they can't do anything about this crowdfunding website.
Because this crowdfunding website is called Fairy Crowdfunding, a company founded by the world’s richest man, Xiao Qi. If it goes against Xiao Qi, no one will be interested!
You know, Xiao Qi is notoriously difficult to deal with and will retaliate. The lessons of Google are still in front of us. Who has so much leisure to compete with hundreds or thousands of lawyers? I have eaten too much.
What?
So they made a quick decision and rushed in, hoping to find projects they were interested in and invest a little bit.
After entering, they discovered that there were so many interesting projects, so they couldn't stop investing. They invested one after another, and before they knew it, millions or even tens of millions of dollars had been spent.
With such investment, Fairy Crowdfunding had raised more than 7,200 crowdfunding projects in February, with total funds raised exceeding US$300 million.
Compared with the US$500 million invested by Xiao Qi, half of it has been spent, and the funds raised are only about the same amount. On the surface, it seems to be a bit of a loss.
But both Milner and the management were delighted.
They know that the good reputation they have gained through spending money has now begun to affect people.
More than 300 million is just the beginning. With the continuous influx of entrepreneurs and investors, it is not surprising that the amount of crowdfunding in 2010 exceeded 1 billion US dollars.
As long as Fairy Crowdfunding has a few successful examples, it will be just around the corner for Fairy Crowdfunding to become the number one crowdfunding company in the world!
And even now, the Royal Bank of Scotland has valued Fairy Crowdfunding at US$1.5 billion. Although we know that Xiao Qi's company will probably not be sold, everyone can start a billion-dollar company with just a casual move of Xiao Qi.
, I still felt very envious.
A genius boy is a genius boy, he is indeed extraordinary!
Fairy Crowdfunding is already so popular, but in fact, in the United States, there is another website invested by Xiao Qi, which is even more popular than Fairy Crowdfunding.
It is the Pinterest Pinqu website.
Milner is an investor. He is much more meticulous than Hoffman in doing things. He does not have the turbulent momentum and has to polish the projects before launching them on the market.
Xiao Qi originally came up with the idea for Pinterest and Fairy Crowdfunding for Milner last year, but Fairy Crowdfunding went online in September, but Pinterest didn’t go online until November.
There are now hundreds of social networking sites, and Pinqu has only one biggest advantage, and that is the waterfall image loading method.
Its biggest advantage is that you don't have to turn pages to view the photos and pictures of the same user, you can just scroll all the way down to see them, which eliminates a lot of operating procedures.
Similarly, when you search for pictures of the same type on Pinterest, these pictures and photos will be continuously loaded below, all on the same page, making it very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
Don't underestimate such a picture loading method. What young people nowadays hate most is trouble, and what they like most is to make it as simple as possible. Only in this way can you attract them to your website and be interested in continuing to stay.
Pinterest has undoubtedly achieved this, especially among older college students and young people who have just entered the workplace. It has become very popular all of a sudden.
Since Christmas, the unknown Pinterest has jumped to the 22nd place on the North American social networking site. After the New Year, Pinterest has directly reached the 10th place on the North American social networking site, followed by faebook, titter, beautiful picture sharing, etc.
Big website.
A social networking site that was founded less than three months ago has grown so fast and captured the hearts of young people. This has left many people in the industry scratching their heads.
But the fact that there are 58 million registered users and 33 million active users is real.
Moreover, Pinterest's reputation is particularly good. Those users can't explain why they like it so much, but they are willing to spend time on it, reading pictures and photos endlessly, and inviting their friends to join in and share it together.
Seeing how quickly it became popular, even Goldman Sachs could not help but give Pinterest a valuation of US$2 billion after careful evaluation.
"Its growth space is unimaginable. Maybe we have seen another fae wave ok and beautiful picture sharing!"
Goldman Sachs commented. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
