After 90 on the Internet bonus last bus, how to grab the “seat” after 70, 80?

“Who is in the audience?”
“Since so many people are useless, there is no way to vote.” The leader signaled the next project.
This scene happened on the investment committee of a certain fund. Huang Ming, a young investor who recommended this project, was 27 years old. He is embarrassed, all the investors are there, white-collar workers do not, does not mean that the broader population does not need. “The range of investors is too small to be sampled.” But he didn’t dare to express it loudly at the meeting. Because of his youth, there are no star projects and ranks to support him.
The fast-hand project, in the early days, was also in the hands of Sun Yuepeng, the investment manager of Junlian Capital.
In order to have a meeting at an internal project, prove the quickness of the quick hand. He visited more than 20 townships and towns to do research, and gathered some places where young people gathered in theaters, shopping malls, game halls, etc., and observed what apps were used by local young people in the gap between watching movies and leisure time. The results were compiled into a PPT with more than 60 pages, trying to convince the leader.
“At the time, there were several articles about quick-handed people that influenced everyone’s discussion, focusing on values and other aspects. Based on the rank of my own investment manager, I was a little hesitant, and I did not boldly advance.” Sun Yuepeng took regret.
After 90, VC has not had enough voice.
In terms of development history, VC is a young industry. Since 1985, China established the first venture capital company “China New Technology Venture Capital Company”, which has not been more than 30 years. The first wave of post-90 practitioners in this young industry will happen to be ushered in their 30s. They believe that they are a generation that lacks luck. So far, they have not yet ushered in the opportunity of the era that truly belongs to them.
In the temple called “Star Investor”, the 90s were generally absent. But because of the particularity of the industry, they are dominated by young people.
