In china business by Michael MicheliniLeave a Comment

Feels like I’m graduating college again or something! And wow, its been 90 days already since I started this Chinaccelerator program. Its been a wild rollercoaster (yes GOAT – geeks on a train, but also generally w/ the startup highs and lows) and all the teams here are working day and night to finish product development, customer validation, and demo pitches!

Graduation, aka “Demo day” is Tuesday Oct 30th afternoon in Beijing, China – as much as I could let all my startup friends and supporters come, its limited space only for investors. The purpose of this demo day is for the teams to demonstrate what they have accomplished in the program, and raise some capital, and “take off” like a rocket after graduation.

Below is the official “press release” blast that the Chinaccelerator team has been sending out.

If you’re an investor who can attend in Beijing, please contact me via this blog, or Todd Embley (whose email is in the below information)

Dear Friends of Chinaccelerator,

Chinaccelerator is the first mentorship-driven seed funding program held in China. Running from August to October each year in Dalian, it invites the top 9 technology-based startup companies to attend its world-class 3-month program. These 9 teams have been growing their concepts to reality over the last 90 days, shedding buckets of blood, sweat and tears, and are ready to present their product or service to the world. Whether it is online, on mobile or on tablets, in beta or with hundreds of users, the one thing we can guarantee is that if you’re present, you’ll be impressed.

Join us for the first chance to meet with the entrepreneurs who are designing the future of how we work, live and play!

In 2011 Order With Me, the winner of TechCrunch Disrupt Beijing, left some huge shoes to fill for this year’s crop. However, these crazy geeks have outdone themselves this year and have shone through in carrying the Chinaccelerator torch forward yet again here in 2012…

Graduating Startup College!

I am a true believer a big industry to get disrupted is education, and that these kind of programs will continue to grow. What I’ve learned here versus college is amazing. And learning by doing, getting mentor feedback along the way. I’m so excited to share my knowledge, and support more entrepreneurs to FOCUS and take a risk, make a stand.

Ready to takeofF!

Over + Out.
