VCs & entrepreneurs in China: my experience
Wow! I had an amazing experience in China as an American VC. In 10 days I had events and meetings in Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai and Beijing and a bunch of TV appearances. My book on VC has been published in Chinese and so that's part of why I had so much action on this first trip.
I made a photobucket photo file which I understand can be viewed in China. Please check it out and the captions. That’s my blog post this time – the comments / captions of the photos on Photobucket. Check it out!

China is a huge opportunity for every entrepreneur and VC. To ignore it would be insanity. They have a totally different way of thinking which works well.
Slammed into a TV studio on the same day I arrived after a flight from San Francisco to Beijing and then connecting flight to Chengdu.
And I look forward to helping our portfolio companies take off in China.

Basically most of our companies should be manufacturing or making software in China. Those those that do not want to do that should probably be selling their products and services in China. I view it as my job as the VC to help our portfolio companies do both with safe partners they can trust.
Check out the red sign this investment bank hung outside of their building when I had a meeting there. What a welcome!
We are ready to be the fiber optic cable and help our companies be successful in China quickly. This is a game of speed and trust.
