The hardware business you should be aware of 10 incubators

　　

 

　　In the rapid development of the Internet, there is an interesting phenomenon: everyone seems to want to be incubators. They have different practices, different reasons.

　　Wise things to do a survey, to conclude, the incubator is a bit like being representational of the rivers and Lakes chivalrous, creator can take less resources faster and easier to get what they want.

　　What did they do?

　　Incubator organization a lot, classified according to the hatching area, can be the Internet, intelligent hardware, TMT; according to the different external manifestations of the incubator can be cafes, public space, incubation base; according to the different modalities of participation, either as a direct investment, matchmaking. Think tank incubator of things to find some intelligent hardware, these incubators will provide funds, Office space, and promotional services, but due to its established purpose of each incubator is different, has different resource and incubator at more or less their own characteristics.

　　According to this classification, or slightly repetitive, but it best describes what they do:

　　1, for designers to create Incubator

　　Here, too, and is typically represented to find invasive Firebird. Find a created by the millions to find. Find billion represents is the blade of energy and Elf power--both mobile power with unique look obtained a certain market. That millions find says employment is for designers or design creative team to build the base.

　　2, the provision of incubator of supply chain resources

　　Typical hard eggs. Hard eggs is intelligent hardware innovation of China's large Internet platforms, mainly through the Offline+Online platform, O2O resources focuses on supply chain connections. Hard egg was founded in January 2014, is the source for the core platform for intelligent hardware service owned by city, which is the larger of the IC components supply chain platform.

　　3, to provide promotion and marketing of incubator

　　Some incubators have their own media or marketing resources, they can provide start-up teams with better promotion and marketing. The incubator is typically represented with the media here, such as 36 krypton +, "dark horse +" cloud incubator. 36kr's most known is its media "36 krypton." It is reported that 36 krypton + docking will give entrepreneurs including cloud services and mobile application development-related services, open platform, search, property consultants, legal counsel and other services. But all in all its media properties media resources in particular for industry to be able to help start-up teams get more investor attention. "Dark horse +" cloud incubator that offers promotional services. Officials said provided "a comprehensive solution to startups and the legal, teamwork, finance, road shows and other issues." Artificial intelligence make people fear is the

　　Channel, traffic to 4, entrance of incubators

　　These incubators usually have better channels and flow entrance is typically represented by Kyoto JD+ incubator. Jingdong said, they will through their years of experience and partnerships, and provide incubators for start-up teams should have a lot of resources. But clearly, Jingdong JD+ hatching, the biggest benefit is that more reliable sources and flow entrance.

　　5, provided office space incubator

　　Of course, many incubator helps start-up teams to find suitable office space, but some specialize in providing "incubator", and relief office expenses, the NextBig 3W is one of them. NextBig will provide administrative services (water, electricity, Internet, air conditioning, heating, etc), branding (media partner), recruitment. NextBig now hatching more than 20 projects, most of the projects have completed a round of financing, is preparing for the second round of funding. Its incubation of projects including tourism, O2O, hand around product categories.

　　6, from creation to sale all the resources provided by incubators

　　Some incubators will be doing "nanny-level" service: for early-stage entrepreneurs need finance, business, technology, marketing, human resources, legal, training, providing a package of services. Is typically represented by innovation works and Microsoft venture incubator. However the incubator project filter is also more stringent. Microsoft venture Accelerator, for example, in the United States, it does not require any return on equity by the teams, each assigned to Microsoft venture Accelerator team, will receive up to 60,000 dollars worth of Windows Azure cloud service and 6 months of incubation, and into the life of alumni. Specific to China, this 6-month period, businesses will move to free Microsoft Asia-Pacific Research and development group headquarters is located in Zhongguancun Office. During the six-month incubation period, Microsoft will provide mentors, for startups and team to provide guidance and curriculum and recruit help for start-ups, joint investment institutions, for early users and markets. For entrepreneurs, it's tempting. But at the same time Microsoft venture Accelerator is a filter to look for starting an undertaking by a team.

　　7, to provide the hatch of the docking investor help

　　Typical is a pioneering State. Entrepreneurship State docking help investors, and provides cross-media services platform for entrepreneurs. Established in January 2007, by the United States international data group (IDG) and the Group jointly set up.

　　8, big brother does incubator

　　Incubator this in line with the trend of things, bosses will naturally not to be missed. Typical is the BAT (Baidu, Tencent, and Ali), telecommunication, Huawei, Lenovo.

　　But for now, hatching is not particularly famous case of BAT, but big actions are indeed. The second half of 2014, Internet big BAT launched Innovation Center or business base. Among them, Baidu, Chengdu, Xiamen, Tianjin have set up regional developer Business Center Tencent set up in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan have entrepreneurial base; Ali Announces wireless strategy start "rivers scheme", will take place in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Chengdu five-site support for the developer.

　　In Baidu Center of Tianjin, for example, provide Baidu cloud platforms, technical support, auditing, accounting and legal services, to Baidu headquarters technical support, one-to-one mentoring the entrepreneurial team. Assigned to Tencent's business base team, enjoy exposure flow support, multi-platform capabilities open, liquidity services such as training, even 30~50 million funded. Ali's "rivers scheme" from the entire chain provide the basis of technology, data, and business services, excellent Ali are available free and capital investment.

　　Telecommunication employees call for innovative projects and team-oriented, mainly related to the mobile Internet, cloud computing, e-commerce and other fields. Telecom, which is "half-revolutionary" attempt seems to be against "mobile Internet" necessary choices.

　　Huawei (front) innovation incubation base, mainly to provide relief for Office premises. The base focuses on the Internet, Intelligent Robotics and hardware.

　　Lenovo support the establishment of associations of stars main hatching areas for science and technology. Hatch represents Face++, funny games. Provides entrepreneurship training, angel investments, an open platform (docking).

　　9, Government-supported incubators

　　Such incubators around the most common. Under normal circumstances, Government support is the base, you can give office space for start-up teams to provide relief, can also help the team docked a variety of resources.

　　10, provides a variety of tools that "creating space" incubator

　　Typical firewood is a hackerspace in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai new workshop. In fact this space not too suitable are defined as incubators, because they are more tools, is a demonstration and Exchange platform. But because of all the space from the pupil to the white-collar workers, from technicians to investors have, where you are more likely to meet like-minded people: your future partner or investor.

　　11, other types of incubators

　　Typical is Haxlr8r: founded in 2012, can be classified into "incubators of all resources from creation to sale", but to "Shenzhen--San Francisco" hatch pattern is its greatest feature. The incubator will bring entrepreneurs in Shenzhen, Shenzhen local improvement availability, distribution system, in 111 days to help them contact the factory to make prototypes, and finally brought to Silicon Valley for the investors at Demo Day (demo). After the end of the project, part of the team might have to get on the Kickstarter as a new starting point, and another team may be heading for the consumer market, and self-reliance.

　　What's behind the incubator?

　　Incubator for profits in the industry by itself proved wide of the mark. Some media have said, in the United States really profit incubator only YC. On the surface, incubators exist fits in the rivers and Lakes of the spirit, "If you are ever in trouble, I will not stand idly by." Various incubator to develop feelings of mind is Bole: do you have a need, and I can help you. But the logic behind should be: I incubators can bring me anything.

　　1, to enhance brand image. We can see a lot of big companies or some technology companies with an incubator. Why? every company needs for themselves or their brand image. On one hand, the incubator as a trend is in line with leading-edge technology companies: don't work OUT. The other hand, properties of the incubator is very chivalrous, "incubator because of good intentions, is to help you".

　　2, easy quick access to resources. Such resources include a variety of products, contacts and personnel any "lack of urgently needed". On the product, especially a good product is large companies need to. Large companies often have an awkward: the era of progress, in order to not be eliminated the reform is a must. But because of its too big, the reform is too hard. So they have three means: spun out of small companies, acquisitions or invest in more mature companies, incubator start-up teams. Hatching start-up teams is easier to achieve is "cheaper". On the contacts and resources such as human resources, supply chain, because the hatching of the incubator itself property, making it become the Venture Exchange, the docking platform: in this case, start-up teams, investors, media, various manufacturers are linked together. Coffee, milk tea become incubators existence.

　　3, high risk and high return. This deficiency, or less to do and the incubator itself. Too often we can see investors devoted an incubator, why? because they can find some reliable Incubator projects, and with the potential for "right of priority investment" to invest in something good--once the success of the project, and early return on investment is more than just a few times.

　　4, introduction of investment, improve the Government's image. We can see a lot of Government support of incubators and incubation base, especially the more developed cities. On one hand, the incubator can be a good investment. The other hand, follow the "millions of entrepreneurial" slogan, a place with no Government reports of several Government-supported incubators are embarrassed.

OG poly pop the construction of a good trend of buying platform

　　

 

　　[Summary] OG poly pop successfully "trendier" massive popular commodities no longer confused.

　　Young people who pursue individuality always spared no expense to use fashion to create their own set of "Street image". But facing various brands launched every day billions of commodities, "people" are also worried about what to buy, or in case of paying high prices to buy fakes do.

　　OG poly-pop is a youth movement for the pursuit of individual consumer products of the APP, which through a number of carefully selected topics, buying guides, help users to purchase your favorite products, and from the more popular view of commodities, meanwhile, OG poly also provides quality and price are guaranteed the purchase channels to users.

　　"Trend" is not only buy buy buy

　　"We do get popular there are two original, first is the popularization and promotion of popular culture, so that more users while browsing experience to the story behind. The second is to help users find the product they want. 」

　　The team's investors, a former well-known trends Web site co-founder Cao Jie introduced me to develop "OG poly-pop" Duo.

　　

 

　　OG get popular by PGC, UGC helps users select valuable commodity, users will be able to evaluate any goods and share it with others, or "circle" in Exchange to talk about related topics.

　　Users not only can be seen in the top recommended by professional media team carefully screened out the trend of tide products, can also guide to matching, brand advocacy, culture, interviews, and other topics about pop culture. This "focus on commodity culture" approach to OG get popular from numerous micro-public, or Blog-style news site stand out.

　　OG gathered outside popular in addition to providing a selection of fashion sneakers, toys, accessories, and other personalized items such as electronic purchase. This comprehensive reporting on fashion products greatly improve stickiness: users do not need to obtain information from various information sources, requires only one APP can get more current news media content.

　　

 

　　In addition to providing advice and also let you buy things at work

　　OG get popular themselves developed a system of online activities, shake the product user, event registration, sweepstakes can be completed inside the APP, OG coming popular starting point is a shoe, it through with some or brand shop opened in cooperation with the authorized line of online Lottery functions.

　　Instead of using a third party businessmen succeeded in making product purchase channel site drawing lots more transparent. Online Lottery not only lots of inconvenience, effectively avoid scalper behind the illegal operation, many like "popular" easier for people to participate in the purchase.

　　

 

　　(OG gather popular offline queuing system online, users only need to cooperate in store to complete the certification can easily by moving the end of participation in Lottery activities)

　　The poly popular in Taiwan with 9 offline shops in the city to establish communication, poly-pop shops hope to call for more use of the lottery system, starting with the change unfair balloting mechanism under the line. Chinese entrepreneurs why Terry Gou is sharp s

　　And for those who don't could buy a shake to current object, "Poly-pop" will pick up some reputable businesses as a source of goods, goods in stock and the quality to the user.

　　Each update is a new attempt

　　As a series of content and functionality updates OG poly-pop has gained 200,000 loyal users. Tide has now become the movement's most popular application in the field.

　　From a relatively niche area to catch so many users and achieve buying into absolute is not easy, in less than half a year's time, OG get popular with each update, gradually building into a provided to users from what to buy to how to buy integration services platform.

　　

 

　　(Poly-pop in "circle" added secondary trading area and purchase area, non-trading area "commercialized")

　　Such as limiting many applications are applied in "pushing information" rather than provide a valuable service. Cao Jie said OG get popular in the future to people and more types of goods segment, implementations can self subscribe to items of interest type. After accumulating a certain amount of core users and brand reputation, converted into e-commerce platform.

 

O2O venture three technical tips

　　"This is a wonderful time, it was the worst of times ... Ahead of us all, and we have nothing. "-Charles Dickens ' a tale of

　　Alibaba later that year and Ma fight who do venture on the Internet. It is said, that period as long as you're sitting in a café in Hangzhou do contemplate, someone will ask, "dude needs angel investing, series a and b rounds can be also found. "The joke is not necessarily true, but now business partners to find investors to find, even Beijing business street, Zhongguancun, Haidian book City pedestrian streets are renamed. All kinds of changes shows that this is indeed a good era of entrepreneurship.

　　And now the entrepreneur is the most popular way O2O (Online to Offline), the combination of online and offline business. It is completely in-line technology in transforming the service system under the line, fully rely on the Internet to support the entire business system. O2O said up is iffy, actually it already into has we of life, like using Uber on can to low of price enjoy to car shuttle of service, not only excess of cars are was using up, energy also get has efficient using; using hungry has you on can called to delicious of outside sold, express master will in a hours within served, than boyfriend also mark; using Kung Fu bear on can appointment to skills exquisite of massage master, also can according to user evaluation preferred select, online Xia single paid.

　　Meituan founder Wang XING said, "O2O will be a scale of billions of dollars in the market. 」

　　Perhaps you are very familiar with the traditional industries, or has a deeper understanding on how to reform the traditional industries, and can't wait to spend O2O tide of entrepreneurship. But don't forget that line operating only part of O2O venture, to put up a stubborn and strong growing O2O services also need advanced and stable online technologies.

　　Importance of technical team Academic speed up Huazhong CNC overweight industrial

　　"Establish a reliable team to do, a beard well lathered. 」

　　Many entrepreneurs, very aware of some traditional industries, but are not familiar with Internet technology. Therefore, when entrepreneurs should use of the Internet to transform entire industries, will face a choice: whether the outsourcing team, also is building a technical team to top of the line products? experienced entrepreneur has only one answer to this question--must build their own technical team.

　　Didi taxi prototypes were first looking for outsourcing software companies do, founder of Wei Cheng thought for two months to get the product done, teams are too late. He asked for 150,000 to find outsourcing company, was cut to 90,000. Each other he promised faithfully that features can be achieved, but the result is delivery of software problems, not at all, such as 10, 6 or 7 times, not rings will ring ... ... Wei Cheng finally decided to form a solid team. His sentiment: "a penny stock, rather slowly, and established a reliable team and then do a beard well lathered. 」

　　In addition, the development of Internet products, not only requires you to quickly make a MVP (minimum of available product) to verify that their ideas are correct, you also need to quickly iterate. Similar to millet, pea pods, theology, theology, and many rely on the rapid rise of mobile Internet company, main product remained at least once every two weeks there is a release. This is trial and error, a process to continuously improve and grow. If you cannot find the outsourcing team is very difficult to achieve this goal, because they do not want party a frequent demand changes, or still needs to communicate again and frequent changes to add money for the party, pay more of the cost, make money once, subsequent iterations of the product quality is difficult to guarantee.

　　Product path

　　"Through the WebApp to create your MVP, precipitated the user to a Native App, is the most effective path to the product. 」

　　Why is WebApp? WebApp through Web technologies (HTML\CSS\JavaScript) to implement applications, mobile WebApp has a lower share of, is because a Native Web technologies can function is weak, but also have a certain problem, but the Web has an incomparable advantages, is the ease of sharing, which is the core of the Internet advantage.

　　Currently on the market there are many entrepreneurs spread their WebApp. Kung Fu bear massage O2O high-speed growth in recent years, through the circle of friends to share, you can guide the user to book a massage, direct online payment, provides a simple and convenient user experience. Didi taxi and taxi's original red war is an impressive, user growth several times within a matter of days. Users can also share your WebApp to Mo Mo, Twitter or other social networking software.

　　Once the initial users have been selected and the product core functionality has been verified, you can put in more resources and manpower to develop your core App now includes iOS and Android side. WebApp is not yet using the appropriate system platform characteristics (Hybrid technology is the Native App), such as iOS system push, the Android notification bar, adjusting the camera. If you want to give full play to the power of smart phones, there must be a Native App, through richer functionality and better user experiences improve user dependence on products and sticky.

　　Technology selection

　　"BaaS services to reduce development costs, reduces time cost and opportunity cost. 」

　　Why is the BaaS? cloud services industry booming in recent years, the Amazon AWS (Amazon cloud services) as the representative of the cloud services 1.0 completely changed after the pattern of the Internet, end service at the core of the cloud services 2.0 after BaaS (Backend as a Service) service has become the focus of attention. 2013 Facebook for $ 1 billion after acquiring BaaS Parse service provider in 2014, Google followed up the acquisition BaaS Servicers Firebase. Not only the United States, BaaS services is surging in China, such as dedicated file storage seven cows, focus on application development services LeanCloud and other start-up companies.

　　Compared to the build system, the use of cloud services can directly address the basic work of the more technical, many common logic does not need technical team developed again, your product does not require maintenance engineers to manage servers, all the engineers focused on developing good products. BaaS services engineering teams on product business development focus to the peak, the technical team can even not required to recruit Professional Server back-end engineers can fix the product. BaaS manufacturers have common business services, such as user accounts, send text messages, message push, statistical analysis, and even real-time communications, engineers don't have to again build these businesses, simply use the BaaS provide these services directly. This company not only greatly reduces the development of manpower and time costs, you can devote more resources to product operation, enabling fast iterations, occupy the market advantage.

　　BaaS services advantage is obvious. Instagram bought by Facebook for $ 1 billion in April 2012 when users close to 50 million, but the team only 13, which engineers are only 5 people, related to the back-end server engineers only 2.5 people, the other half occasionally responsible for front-end development App (Android and iOS development). Such a small project team, but can afford the huge volume of users, how do they do it? Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger on "how to become a $ 1 billion company" speech, AWS will be used due to surge in users, but important because engineering team is not significant growth, companies like Dropbox. BaaS stage a lot of start-up companies in use, currently the more successful startups, BaaS services include Kung Fu bear, funny, understand goals, activities, and so on.

　　Summary

　　O2O business, first to form a solid team, BaaS services, efficient use of resources, reduce the cost of research and development cost and time. Implement a WebApp out, verify that the idea of rapid iteration, by Native App precipitate more loyal users, giving the user a better experience.

　　Finally, I hope that entrepreneurs ready to venture is going to be a difficult journey, not to calculate the probability of success in the process, must believe that there is a solution to any problem. Your task is to find a solution, whether the probability 99%, is one of the great, your mission remains unchanged. If you want to start a business, this is the challenge. If you don't want to, just don't start.

DARPA seeks a number of next generation disruptive technology

　　United States Defense Advanced research projects Agency (DARPA) tactical technology Office (TTO) is for the army, Navy, air and space forces to seek next generation disruptive technology, aimed at the development of high risk, high return of revolutionary new platforms, weapons and important technologies, to provide or to prevent strategic and tactical surprise. These projects include the robot challenge, air reconfigurable embedded systems (ARES) and infantry team leader support system (LS3). 2 4 billion to build the safety cell phones really

TTO plans on May 7 "proposal day".

 

NASA to Mars through the plant into another Earth

　　The earth people, landing on Mars is far from our ultimate goal, how to develop and gradually occupied Mars is key. But real exploitation of resources on Mars, first of all needs to be done, no doubt for it "to create" an ecosystem.

　　Of course, to accomplish this feat is not an easy thing, you first need some--such as a prerequisite for the proper distance between the Sun and there is the presence of water, even if it is solid. In the midst of the entire solar system, planets that meet these conditions only the Earth and Mars. Therefore, Mars into an Earth may be our only option for people on Earth. Ecosystems, Earth, after hundreds of millions of billions of years to form today's eco-system. Obviously, we can't wait that long, but maybe we can help expedite this Mars project.

　　This is one of NASA's latest plan, the construction of "Martian farms." Built to the farm, including the conditions needed by the right soil, water, fertilizer and proper sunlight. In response, NASA says Martian soil contains a certain amount of acid, but it can support the growth of plants on Earth--after all, there are a lot of acid, and there are also many plants suitable for growing on this land. As long as there is a sufficient number of fertilizer, Mars land grown plants is clearly not a problem.

　　For astronauts, however, carry a significant amount of fertilizer is not an actual thing, in this regard, NASA astronauts are expected to their waste savings, used as fertilizer. For countries such as China, after all, since ancient times, it was the traditional methods.

　　Sun is obviously not the problem, and now want to solve is the issue of water. There is a lot of frozen water on Mars, "Mars farm" built through spacecraft since the water is out of the question, only to take advantage of water on Mars. While the current probe showed that Mars's water contains large amounts of perchlorate, which will kill most plants. But scientists say this is not a problem, as long as the directions corresponding to the filter system can be, this should not be so difficult.

　　Everything, it seems, has occupied the planet Mars just around the corner! Moschino retina iPad mini case Moschino iPad Mini Case

Oculus Rift why so expensive This answer is a bit better

　　Palmer, the founder of Oculus company Luckey has recently answered a question about that, and the answer he gives is very interesting. Luckey said Oculus Rift as VR glasses first products of this new concept, its biggest task is to convince everyone: the world needs to VR. To do this, Oculus Rift did a very good job at all costs.

　　"If we are successful, you will never doubt how cool VR. If people try to VR and not what impressed, even price them and it will not change my mind. "He said. Griffin iPhone 5 Case

　　Of course, as time passes and technology advances, Luckey VR glasses products price gradually declined. He said: "a lot of people will probably wait a generation or two to accept it, this is perfectly normal. "

　　In 2016, we will usher in the era of VR, then not only is the Oculus Rift,HTC Vive PlayStation and VR is critically-acclaimed equipment will also be listed. What is "early buy early to enjoy", still patiently waiting for VR glasses into civilian products, then by his own decision.
