On many occasions, Zhou Hongyi promising not to cover up his three directions: community, search, and P2P. From his portfolio can be seen: Qihoo is a search engine, the Thunder is the P2P download software, Discuz the community and the personal space of the program provider. From 3721 to Yahoo, IDG and the odd tiger then, Zhou Hongyi t experienced entrepreneurs, venture capital, angel investment multiple roles. In his view, the domestic angel investment needs a mature game.
From the perspective of angel investors, Yahoo and Google's early investors, the returns are very impressive. So some spare cash, many Chinese people have wanted to come to play a role of an angel, but Zhou Hongyi, the domestic model of Silicon Valley has a great misunderstanding, we feel that the success of one of Silicon Valley because of the money, streets paved with gold; Second, there is no lack of innovative ideas , which are the are currently available in the country, it seems that we can copy the model of Silicon Valley, "the simple idea of money is very difficult to successfully added." Zhou said.
"Why the United States, many angel investors? Not to say that the United States, rich people, I do not think who called angel investors who have money, China is indeed more than the rich, but money does not mean that companies can do it." Zhou Hongyi, said, "angel investing at least meet the three conditions: first, the industry understand that they can plan for the direction; the second, at least done it business, knowing how business is going on, can give entrepreneurs some very specific pointers; Third, there must be good connections, give start-up financing to fund. "
Angel investment is certainly not cast money waiting to return, an angel venture capital investment is one of the largest areas of risk, so it is important to control risk. Of the angel, the certainty of the risk lies in the understanding of the industry, not only to see the present, but also be able to see the future, but also help enterprises develop strategies, planning mode. At the same time in this industry, which have the resources and can mobilize the resources to help companies find partners to help him grow.
However, domestic investors often used the money into the company, will feel that this company is their own, like the hand in management, and even venture out of the company team. Therefore, the angel investors is very important point is figure out their roles.
Early days in business, angel investors should be an auxiliary role, must be clearly aware of this enterprise is not their own. Once an angel investor in early possession of the special number of shares, such as business angels team to take 51% and 49%, the surface, this is control of the risk of angel funding, and some entrepreneurs may be willing to accept relatively large investment entrepreneurs will eventually find themselves no longer have this business, this time, the real worry for the company's highly likely to be angel investors, who are not willing to taken care of by their children at home?
In Silicon Valley, an important rule of the game is non-interference in business angel investors, the company's management team, not minding. Zhou Hongyi, said Silicon Valley in China to have a real need to empower entrepreneurs. Investment from angel to VC, is the money money, a strong contributor. Let entrepreneurs earn the most money, then is the angel and VC. Angel investment in risk control and business management between the two well coordinated.
Zhou Hongyi three companies from the investment point of view, is typical of web 2.0, and has a very strong correlation: Qihoo web 2.0 era is hoping to do something to Thunder by integrating server and P2P market space occupied by two download methods area, Discuz community solutions are to give "personal or media" web 2.0 provider basis.
