A couple weeks ago my friend Peter Choi, the Hong Kong curator of Startup Digest HK sent me a facebook message mentioning he is getting more and more requests from Shenzhen startups and events to post their events and updates.

Starting “Open Office Hours” to Connect Better
As I have been working on my latest venture, Social Agent, one huge difference from previous was the mentorship and feedback I have gotten along the way.

The start of a new year is exciting to everyone. Just like the beginning of a new day, a new week, its another chance. We think of the previous time, think of where we are in life, and make plans for our future year. For me, I think back to my 5 years in China / Asia / entrepreneurship, and …
Putting Everything I Got At It, Hardcore China Business during Christmas
Not sure if its aggression, unending pursuit, that feeling that if you can only go longer, faster, stronger than anyone else is willing to go. Something to prove.

The Odds of a Western Startup Succeeding in China (nevermind just a startup!)
After just reading Mark Suster’s post “Entrepreneurshit. The Blog Post on What It’s Really Like.”, it inspired me to finish a blog about something that’s really been on my mind the past couple weeks – the added complexity, and the added “odds against you” of a westerner (foreigner) doing a startup in China. I spent 3 awesome months in Chinaccelerator …
