Chapter 324 [Li Haidong in the Circle]
Through understanding, Li Haidong and others roughly figured out some of the financing processes of Shengfeng Capital, and the official website has opened an online investment application channel, through which startups and entrepreneurs who want to obtain angel round financing can apply for angel round financing.
To apply, you need to provide basic information about the startup, including the shareholding structure, the entrepreneur's resume, team, development plan, etc.
However, on this issue, Li Haidong's partner team had its first disagreement.
"Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to fill in all the information in this application, especially the proposal? I mean, this is also a trade secret of the company, and if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. ”
Li Haidong shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said: "Entrepreneurship is a risky move, this risk is really not a risk, and Jingchuang Technology is now in a state of nothing, who made us nameless?" Sometimes you can't think too highly of yourself. ”
This makes everyone unable to refute, so they can only helplessly turn into a wry smile, it is because your startup company can't see hope in the early stage, so it is called angel round financing, basically listening to your story and feeling good and fighting.
Another partner leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother Li is right, unless we rise like Bluestar Technology and attract venture capital institutions to take the initiative to come to the door, this is another matter." ”
After chatting for a while, Li Donghai discussed with everyone, and finally reached a consensus and decided to fill in the information for online application.
Nationwide, limited to the IT field, large and small entrepreneurial teams are popping up every day, they need financing, but more than 90% of them can't actually pull venture capital, and the remaining 90% have no follow-up after an investment.
Now that the layout of Shengfeng Capital has been rolled out, thousands of entrepreneurial teams, including some college student entrepreneurial teams, are applying for investment online, even if it is a bit of luck.
For an unknown entrepreneurial team, it is impossible to see the big man in Shengfeng Capital, and as for a super big coffee like Luo Sheng, it is even more difficult.
And it is impossible for Luo Sheng to do this, even if he has another chance, but because he is a person, and there are thousands of people who want to get investment, even the management of Shengfeng Capital cannot meet every entrepreneurial team.
However, the power of the Internet is powerful, which can greatly improve the efficiency of audits, and at the same time minimize the potential for fish to slip through the net.
Meng Qiu now meets with an entrepreneurial team in about five to eight minutes on average every working day, and usually gives them five minutes to introduce his business.
In addition, Meng Qiu himself will also go to some more potential entrepreneurial teams to investigate, which are generally optimistic teams, and they are relatively few.
In order to miss some potential teams as little as possible, the official website of Shengfeng Capital has also opened up a channel for online investment application, entrepreneurs fill in the information as required, and then enter the system background, and the internal VC administrator of Shengfeng Capital will cross-review the information.
After the review, confirm that a project is good-looking and confirmed as an investable object, and then the applicant will be contacted through the background, and then make an appointment with him, so that the other party can come to Shengfeng Capital for an interview to make a final decision.
The knowledge of written materials preliminarily determines whether to decide whether to invest will only be made after seeing the interview, and this step is also passed, and the angel round of financing is passed.
99.99% of online mechanisms like Shengfeng Capital are angel round financing, which to a large extent provides a good communication channel for those unknown teams, and can also filter out a lot of useless things through this link, of course, it also improves investment efficiency and hit rate.
Nine times out of ten, angel round investment is a loss-making transaction, and even a hundred shots, and a win once is a big victory.
Luo Sheng's strategy is also to invest in the entire track, rather than a single racing driver, which is similar to those of established investment institutions.
It is to cast a wide net, and if you have money, you can do whatever you want.
However, you have to have enough money to afford to play, and it just so happens that Luo Sheng is very rich now, and the most important thing is money.
Li Haidong and others completed the application for filling in the information, and then they just waited for a reply, and if there was no response within three days, it would basically be cold.
And they are not just staring, they are also looking for other financing channels, no one dares to pack tickets, and the entrepreneurial team is also casting a wide net to seek financing.
……
The three days passed in a flash, and on the fourth day, Li Haidong received an exciting news that made him excited, and immediately called the team together as soon as possible.
Li Haidong said with a smile: "Shengfeng Capital responded, saying that it is very interested in our project, and the appointment time has been determined, the afternoon after tomorrow." ”
"Ness!"
Suddenly, several other friends and partners of the company danced excitedly when they heard this, in fact, Li Haidong was similar, but he still seemed more calm, on the one hand, he had almost digested it, and on the other hand, he was also the head of the team, so he was naturally more stable.
"Don't get too excited, just go to meet, you have to pay for the journey, and you will lose the fare." Li Haidong said that the meeting can only be said to be one step closer to success, but there are still variables whether it can pull angel round financing from Shengfeng Capital.
"Brother Li, it's up to you next, tell a story, you must tell a good story."
Hearing this, Li Haidong laughed and said: "If I had Mr. Luo's eloquence of one percent, I would have already attracted investment when I was in Silicon Valley." ”
"Hey, don't be presumptuous, I think you are right, anyway, my brothers were deceived by you, otherwise I would have entered the Cote d'Azur a long time ago, anyway, I gave up the offer of the Cote d'Azur and embarked on this road of no return with you."
"Haha..."
"Okay, okay, let's do it first, it's okay to be happy, but don't be happy too early, we still have to look forward to the best and plan for the worst. I've booked my plane ticket and I'll be leaving tomorrow for the headquarters of Shengfeng Capital in Sioux City. Li Haidong immediately clapped his head and said, and several members of the start-up team quickly immersed themselves when he said this.
Yes, it's too early to be happy, even if you get the angel round of financing, it's just the beginning, and if you want to really clear the customs, you have to complete the IPO to be said to be successful, even if the road behind the IPO is just as long, and the career is unlimited.
Early the next morning, Li Haidong got up early and repeatedly checked the materials and documents to be taken away to confirm that all the preparations were correct before heading to the airport.
This trip is to bring the hope of the newly born Jingchuang Technology Village.
Shengfeng Capital has not been established for a long time, and the branch of Pengcheng has not been fully completed, otherwise Li Haidong would not have to go to Suzhou City, and just talk directly at the branch here.
……
Came to Sioux City. Li Haidong stayed at the hotel for one night, and according to the appointment time, it was the afternoon of the next day.
During this period, he did not leave the hotel, but practiced his expression skills in his room, expressing what he wanted to say in the shortest time possible, because he knew that the meeting might not be too long.
The opportunity does not mean that it will be successful, but it also depends on whether you can grasp the opportunity and seize the opportunity.
It's not easy to start a business.
With the passage of time, the next afternoon arrived as scheduled, Li Haidong changed into a new suit and leather shoes, and came to the headquarters of Shengfeng Capital on time according to the address.
The headquarters is a high-rise building up to 150 meters, which has been renovated, which is Shengfeng Capital directly bought the entire commercial office building, anyway, it is an investment company, and it is not necessary to build its own headquarters, and it takes time.
For Luo Sheng, what is most lacking now is time.
Shengfeng Capital is located in the center of Sioux City, in fact, this is also an investment, if you look at the housing prices in ten years, this investment will definitely be profitable.
Li Haidong entered the headquarters building, and through communication with the front desk staff, someone soon came to receive him and led him upstairs.
When Li Donghai entered an office and saw that the person he met was a face younger than himself, he was also stunned for a while.
Luo Sheng?
He never thought that it would be this big man, he didn't even think that Meng Qiu could meet him, at most he was just a director-level manager under Shengfeng Capital.
Li Haidong was a little confused now, and he suddenly found that the expression that he had practiced for a long time was not right with the current situation, because he didn't think that it would be to meet Luo Sheng and prepare for it.
What is said that the plan cannot keep up with the change, it is the current situation.
