Question 3: What about startup capital? Many people have the same problem. As an entrepreneur, I was once just like you. I only had ideas but no technology or capital. I was afraid that if I told others about my ideas, they would steal my ideas.
I think you can first share your thoughts with the people around you who you think are reliable and knowledgeable, and listen to their opinions first. Many people have this kind of "illusion" and feel that their This idea must be feasible, and it will definitely change the world. But as a result, others may have already realized this idea, but you just don’t know it, and you can go from heaven to hell in an instant. OK! Let me officially start to answer your questions. If you think my answer is valuable, please increase the reward to 200! (I have seen this kind of question too many times. This is the first time I formally answer this kind of entrepreneurial question)
What is your application mainly used for? What type of problem is solved?
Who are the customers and users of your product? Do you know them?
Is there anyone already doing this in your industry? Who are your competitors? If not done, why? Is it a technical issue or a policy issue, or something else.
How does your product make money, and what is the expected profit cycle?
How is the 5W budget composed? Is it just the labor cost of development, excluding promotion and maintenance?
Where did your first users come from? How to ensure that others will use your product? How to ensure that your products are known to more people?
If you have thought about these questions, then let’s continue with the following questions:
1. You said you don’t understand technology, can you draw pictures? If so, Have you ever sketched a product?
2. Does the application you call include Android and ios platforms? As far as I know, if it is a brand new product and you want to develop an application for one of the platforms, the budget of 50,000 yuan is actually very tight. Then you have to make a choice. Which platform are you going to develop first? Do you know which platform your potential customers are on? On which platform are customers more willing to pay for your products? Have you done any research on this?
3. If you don’t look for outsourcing, how will you find your team if you have 50,000 funds?
Let me say this first. An idea may only take three minutes, but from idea to concept, then to demo, from beta to official version, it may take two months or more. Work hard, Sao Nian!
ps: In addition, you can read books about lean entrepreneurship, which will give you some inspiration.
Question 4: What kind of entrepreneurship does not require startup capital? What kind of entrepreneurship does not require startup capital?
What kind of entrepreneurship does not require startup capital? service industry. As long as there is a demand, you meet that demand, the price is right, and the service quality is good, you will have customers. The services I provide are very similar to what I used to do at IAESTE, and current IAESTE employers are still using the students I recruited.
Many people will think that someone is already doing this. If you go in and do it, how can you do it better than others? Others have brands, histories, and backgrounds, but what do you have? In fact, entrepreneurship does not require these things. What entrepreneurship requires is mobility. Going to the market to find customers requires the ability to solve problems. When customers have problems, you must care about them as soon as possible and solve problems for them. People's hearts are full of flesh. Whoever cares more about customers will win more trust from customers. So the key is how to make your services better and better and more in line with customers' needs, rather than forcefully selling your services to customers. Finding customers without spending money
How can small and medium-sized service companies that are just starting out find customers without spending money? It's very simple. There are now a lot of resource gathering platforms in society, providing a variety of needs and information. For example, my service is simply a human resources service, and the market segment is foreign construction talents. I googled foreign construction talent recruitment online, and suddenly a lot of websites came out. I found two friends and spent an afternoon. , you can sort out 200-300 companies. Everyone can do this process. How to do it well depends on your ability to identify platform websites. Now it seems that the ABBS forum is the best place for domestic construction-type companies to gather. The companies on it all spend money on advertising. Customers, since they can spend money on ABBS, why can’t they ask for the services you provide? As long as you can provide them with talent. In other words, no matter how small a business is, as long as you can provide what others need, you can find customers. When negotiating with customers, it is important to make concessions to each other.
It is common for customers to negotiate and negotiate prices. Some large companies are very convenient for price negotiation. They basically won’t bargain with you. If they have a good relationship with HR, it will be no problem if you ask for 5-10. Some companies you are contacting for the first time and have never used your services will ask you to be cheaper or give you a discount. Generally speaking, when it comes to requests for discounts, for example, if you want to give me a cheaper price when the time comes, can you still make the price cheaper? If you stick to a principle, you can agree verbally, but you can actually do what you need to do. In fact, the other party also wants you to give a promise, but in actual operation, there will be many situations that no one can define. However, you cannot refuse the other party the first time, because this will make the other party think that you are a difficult person to deal with. In this way, you will not be able to take on many orders. So when you encounter others who are trying to beat you, give yourself a bottom line. If you are above this bottom line, do what you can do next. After all, small businesses can only survive if they have orders, and they can only rely on the northwest wind to save face. Guarantee service quality
How to ensure service quality? As the saying goes, do what you do and love what you do. They all say that you should focus on one thing. I feel that comrades who have just started a business cannot focus on one thing and must do more things. Then find the thing you do best within 1-2 years and focus on it. For example, for international exchange, you can go out as a domestic student, come in as a foreign student, or you can do both. Then you can see for yourself. If you do well in recruiting students on domestic campuses and prefer to travel to schools to give presentations, you may consider going abroad as a domestic student. For example, I don’t really like giving lectures, and it’s very difficult to cooperate with school teachers. It’s really tiring to mobilize their enthusiasm, so I don’t do much for domestic students to go out. The teachers at foreign universities are more efficient, and admissions are all handled at the school level. I only need to do the domestic business part and the foreign student selection part. I choose to do things that come from abroad, and I am a foreign agent. Many of them are very capable colleagues, and it is more efficient to recruit students through them. In the human resources service industry, you are the boss if you have someone on hand, and the quality of your service is guaranteed, so you must insist on establishing connections with foreign universities and agents. Ensure core competitiveness and stand at the forefront of the industry
Because the entry threshold is low and there is no cost, competition in the service industry is fierce. Therefore, the market you choose is very important. You need to find a market with high barriers to enter.
Taking the market I chose as an example, overseas architectural design interns are first of all foreigners, and secondly they are architectural design majors. These are segmented markets, and large human resources companies will not spend a lot of effort to close... ..gt;gt;
Question 5: How much start-up capital is needed to start a business? Hello! I'm honored to be able to answer this question. As said above, "Funds are not an issue, the most important thing is the feasibility of your project"!
The essence of our entrepreneurship is to survive first, then to live and improve personal comprehensive abilities.
If you invest heavily, you may not be able to make money; if you invest in small projects, you may not be able to make big money. It depends on your vision and concepts, so how to choose the ideal entrepreneurial project is the top priority. Choice is more important than hard work!
I will briefly talk about my opinions on the choice of entrepreneurial projects, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
The following points are some of my principles for choosing an industry:
1. The product must be of high quality, the price must be competitive in the market, the product must be constantly updated, the demand is large, and it can Repeat consumption.
2. Even ordinary people can do it, it is highly operable, guided by a team or teacher, and has a complete training system.
3. Ability to use one’s own talents and strengths, copy them and make them bigger.
4. Amount transactions are fast and convenient, and there are no payables, receivables and triangular debts.
5. Have less contact with the *** department, less contact with dinner parties, less entertainment, and avoid unnecessary business costs.
6. Spend more time wearing casual clothes.
7. Sunrise industries have high growth potential, trend, and can develop in the long term.
8. Be respected, have a sense of belonging, and have a sense of accomplishment.
9. The profit model must be unique, have the upper hand, and understand that there are few people.
10． It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit difficult or tiring, but the investment should not be large, the risks should be small, and the development should be multiplied.
If you are motivated and motivated, you can discuss it with me ***, otherwise it will be a waste of each other's time. Hope I can help you.
Success starts with understanding. Maybe you will have more insights and information, as well as opportunities to choose. This is also a responsible attitude towards yourself.
Question 6: How much start-up capital is needed to start a business? Do you have 2,000 yuan?
Don’t be too ambitious when you don’t have much money.
In Shanxi coal mines, everyone knows how to make money, but how many people can do it? (It’s so far-fetched)
Use your 2000 to sell some fruit, probably a level 2 or 3 vendor, the profit will be about 50!
If you choose a good location and the urban management does not "patronize" you every day, you should be fine if you can get back up to 5,000 a month in addition to expenses.
Then use 5,000 to make trouble and make some snacks. That thing relies entirely on the flow of people to drive business. As long as what you make is not very unpalatable, it is still ok! (I am referring to the kind of stall snack street where stalls are allowed. Since you only have 5,000, it is only enough to invest, not enough to buy a stall (or umbrella), so you have to pay attention to the "cat".
It's quite profitable. If your area (city) has a lot of people and the consumption situation is not too bad, you can double it in a month (but it is illegal after all. To withdraw part of the funds, don't do it, and then put it back) Previous equipment transfer ) around this time, you have 20,000!
Next, I won’t talk nonsense (because stocks, futures, and foreign exchange, for those of you who can ask such a question, I guess if you do it, it is just like a meat bun beating a dog. If you go there, don’t come back!)
When you have little funds, wisdom is your capital, as long as you don’t think too little and are good at making use of your existing resources! Some common sense for speculation! You can make money (this has completed the concept of buying and selling)
This period is also where you accumulate original experience if you go into business in the future.
Question 7: How did Jack Ma start his business? How much capital was used? In 1994, at the age of 30, Jack Ma started his own business and founded the first professional translation agency in Hangzhou - Haibo Translation Agency.
In 1995, 31-year-old Jack Ma, who "spoke the best English in Hangzhou", was entrusted by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Transportation to go to the United States to collect a debt. As a result, he did not get any money, but he discovered a "treasure trove" - ??in Seattle, Jack Ma, who knew nothing about computers, got on the Internet for the first time. As soon as he learned how to surf the Internet, he unexpectedly thought of making an online advertisement for his translation agency. At 10 a.m., he sent the advertisement online. Before 12 noon, he received 6 emails, one from the United States, Germany and Japan, saying that this was The first web page they see about China. Jack Ma realized at that time that the Internet was a gold mine. I began to imagine returning to China to establish a company specializing in the Internet. Jack Ma came up with the idea of ??collecting domestic business information and posting it online to the world. He immediately decided to cooperate with friends in Seattle to create the world's first B2B e-commerce model, and this is how he started to get creative. And named China Yellow Pages (chiinapage).
On the night of returning to China, Ma Yun made an appointment with 24 friends who were engaged in foreign trade and were also his nominal students at night school, and introduced them to them. As a result, 23 people objected, and only one said that he could try it. Ma Yun thought about it all night and decided to do it the next morning. Even if 24 people opposed it, he would do it.
"Actually, the biggest determination is not that I have great confidence in the Internet, but that I feel that experience is success in doing something. If you try it, if it doesn't work, you can still turn around. But if If you don't do it, it's the same as if you think about a thousand roads at night and take the same path in the morning." When Ma Yun mentioned that at the beginning, he admired his courage rather than his vision.
In April 1995, 31-year-old Jack Ma invested 7,000 yuan, and together with his sister, brother-in-law, parents and other relatives, he pooled together 20,000 yuan to create "Haibo Network". "Haibo Network" has since become One of the earliest Internet companies in China, its product is "China Yellow Pages".
In 1996, 32-year-old Jack Ma struggled to promote his own Chinese Yellow Pages. In many cities without the Internet, Jack Ma was called a "liar", but Jack Ma was still as unyielding as a madman. He did this every day. Remind yourself: "The Internet is a 3,000-meter race that will affect human life for the next 30 years. You must run as fast as a rabbit and as durable as a tortoise." Then go out and talk about the Internet to convince customers. The business started with difficulty. In 1996, the turnover reached an incredible 7 million! It was also this year that the Internet gradually became popular.
In March 1996, due to the disparity in competition between Hangzhou Telecom, Jack Ma had no choice but to cooperate with Hangzhou Telecom. Jack Ma's China Yellow Pages assets were converted into 600,000 yuan, accounting for 30 shares, and Hangzhou Telecom invested 1.4 million yuan, accounting for 30 shares. 70 shares. Later, due to different business concepts, Jack Ma and Hangzhou Telecom parted ways, gave up his China Yellow Pages, and gave all of his 21 shares of China Yellow Pages to his employees who started the business together.
This year is 1997. This is the first failure in Jack Ma’s entrepreneurial career. Jack Ma was 33 years old this year.
In 1997, after Jack Ma left China Yellow Pages, he was invited by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to join the newly established company of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, China International E-Commerce Center (EDI), which was established and managed by Jack Ma and held 30 shares by Jack Ma. , participated in the development of the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and later the online Chinese commodity trading market. In this process, Jack Ma's btob idea gradually matured, "using e-commerce to serve small and medium-sized enterprises." He even thought about the domain name of the website-Alibaba. The Internet is like an infinite treasure waiting for people to discover, just like the cave opened by Alibaba with a spell.
In 1999, the 35-year-old Jack Ma was fed up with the restrictions, stumblings and timidity of working in *** companies. Unwilling to be controlled by others, Jack Ma declined invitations from Sina and Yahoo and decided to return to Hangzhou to start his own business. All team members gave up other opportunities and decided to follow. In 1999, this was Jack Ma’s second entrepreneurial failure in his life.
On January 15, 1999, Jack Ma and his team quietly returned south.
In February 1999, the first plenary meeting was held at Ma Yun’s home on the lakeside in Hangzhou. 18 entrepreneurial members sat or stood around the impassioned Ma Yun with solemn expressions. Ma Yun delivered a quick and crazy speech *** An eloquent speech: "We grope together in the dark and shout together. When I shout and rush forward, you will not panic. You hold...gt;gt;
Question 8: What are the main sources of start-up capital? 1. Own funds. This is mainly your own savings. Generally, people who have worked for several years have some savings. Money is the basic fund for starting your own business.

It is a financing method in which both investors and financing parties share the most interests and bear the most risks.

It is a practical financing channel for entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises.
3. Debt financing means that entrepreneurs or small and medium-sized enterprises use loans from financial institutions such as banks or from non-financial institutions. (Private lending) Financing is carried out in the form of borrowing. After a certain period of time, the parties must repay the principal and pay interest.

4. Policy loan refers to the small loan policy issued by the *** department to support the entrepreneurship of a certain group of people (such as the small loan policy for laid-off and unemployed people). Many funds have been established to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, such as small and medium-sized enterprise development funds, innovation funds, etc. These policy loans are characterized by low interest rates, low-profit industry policy discounts, or even interest-free, long repayment periods, and even no need to repay.

Seed-stage projects provide “help in times of need”. It only “supports” invention plans or seed-stage projects, while the task of “giving them a lift” is completed by institutional venture capital.
And various forms such as supplier financing and dealer advance payment.
Question 9: How to start a business without start-up capital in the early stage? The first step in starting a business: not money, but mission. When friends start a business, the first thing to think about is mission: What is the meaning and value of what you do? The second step in starting a business: It’s not about money, it’s about strategy. *** Back then, we had no money to fight the war, but we were able to win the war. One of the reasons was that we had the right strategy. Our ancestors summed it up well: Everything will be done if you are prepared, and if you are not prepared, it will be ruined. Friends who start a business, although we cannot wait until everything is in place before fighting a war, at least before we fight, we must have some thoughts on how to fight and how to win. Otherwise, wouldn't you be harming your saddle and horse? After you kill everyone, will you still be alive? If you don't have enough funds at the beginning, you can start by looking for projects with relatively low funds. You can start with the Internet. Opening a store online and becoming an agent are all feasible methods. The third step of starting a business: It’s not about money, it’s about realization. When you lead a team to fight, you always have to have some goals, especially if you don't have the money to lead a team. You must realize your promises and designed goals one by one until money starts to make its way into your pocket. If you can achieve your goals step by step, your morale will not be lost; if your morale is there, your team will not break up; if your team doesn't break up, success will be just around the corner. Therefore, friends on the road to entrepreneurship should carefully review the methods of leading a team. When you can unite a group of people with passion, wisdom, vision, and hard work around you to achieve goals one by one, your dream of starting a business will basically come true. But having said that, money is not useless, it depends on how you use it. Here are a few words to talk about the scientific use of money. As the saying goes: Good steel is used on the blade. That is, money must be used in key places. This money is usually used when the bayonet is red. You need to find some money to start a business, why do you need to find money? It's not to start your own business, but when you make money, it's when you need funds the most. I don’t remember who said: China has no secrets, and China’s secrets only last half a year. This tells us a truth: It doesn't matter if you don't make money, there is a blue ocean in front of you. Once you make money, someone will compete with you, and the once blue ocean will turn red. At this time, you have to compete with others. Competing is a skill. At this time, it is not enough for you to have a team, you also need to have money. Relying on your few primitive accumulations, you can only compete for scraps. You will need a lot of money at that time, and I will fight you for everything. All things must be destroyed so that the business can grow bigger.
Question 10: What is start-up capital? What does start-up capital include? Start-up capital includes start-up capital and working capital. Start-up capital is the initial expenditure of the project, including store decoration, purchasing equipment and goods. Funds, etc., these are the most basic funds. In the later stage, income must be expected, and capital turnover must be a virtuous cycle. If you start a small business, remember not to make big purchases at the beginning, control costs, and work slowly and steadily. I hope it can help you~~
