winter conference focused on the tips and traps of starting and
growing wireless ventures both in the U. S. and China. In line with
the theme, Edwin gave a speech entitled "What VCs are looking for in
a startup?" To answer this widely asked yet hard-to-answer
question, Edwin introduced a brand-new concept of "SPACE2", the
acronym of Special, Problem Solution, "A" Team, Customer, Entry
Barrier and Exit. Edwin elaborated that startups should be prepared
for such key questions from the investors: What's so special about
your startup? What are the problems you are trying to solve
and what's your solution? What's your management team?
Who do you value as customers? Who do you perceive as
competitors and what sustainable competitive advantages you have
over them to "leapfrog" the competition? And last but not
least, what's your exit strategy?
Edwin answering questions from
audiences after panel discussions
