Nice Turnout at Shenzhen’s First Startup Tuesday!
I truly believe marketing is listening to what people want, and giving them that. If you missed the event, here are the slides from tonight – Shenzhen Team – Startups Tuesday, and I’m outlining it here. Shenzhen’s 1st “Startups Tuesday” Bringing Together Shenzhen’s Startup Community!   Today’s Agenda People kept asking me what is this first meetings agenda…but really, its an open meeting to explain the purpose of this club, how its different from the various Chamber of Commerce meetings, how its about being a support group for startups and new businesses. We structured it as such: Round table […]
New Website
As you may have noticed currently our website is somewhat incongruous with our Shenzhen Team logo and colour scheme: …also we don’t really have many photographs on the site of the current space and facilities. We’re aware of this and are currently working on a new website that reflects who we are, what we do and creating a platform that benefits you the community by allowing you the best way to promote yourselves and connect with each other and the wider world.
Whats the meaning behind the name “Shenzhen Team”?
Shenzhen Team, or SZteam (we picked a shorter english name for a bunch of reasons: The internet is all about short URLs – the full name of Shenzhen is too long, SZ is commonly known to both foreigners and Chinese to represent Shenzhen. Twitter and Weibo – online, there are limits more and more to the length of a URL, especially microblogging, so only 6 characters Easier for Chinese to remember – sure, many other English websites in Shenzhen are spelled out like shenzhen-standard.com , shenzhenstuff.com , shenzhenparty.com – but those sites are doing 2 things, targetting SEO for the […]

Coworking Interview in China News
Whose idea was it to open a coworking space in Shenzhen? I know it’s absurd to call a metropolis like Shenzhen a “second-tier city”, but people do talk about it that way, and as far as I can find, this means you’d be opening the first coworking space in China outside the first-tier cities. Is that true? What makes you think the idea will work in Shenzhen? Why Shenzhen and not Guangzhou? We both came about the same idea in different ways, and fortunately got put in touch over the internet at about the right time. I’ll start with Mike […]
