Before learning about so-called rare cancers, let’s take a look at the picture above. Originally, I thought so-called rare cancers might be less than 10%, but this picture is very clear: “Rare cancers are actually not uncommon, they account for 25% of the total. % of cancer types.” At the same time, if diagnosed with rare cancer, the risk of dying within 5 years is 50% higher than that of ordinary cancer patients. In addition, market opportunities, you can refer to the following picture: This picture is to illustrate that common cancers have been studied almost (starting a bunch of academic and research units, researching AI visual recognition of cancer, do not know where the competitiveness is), so now there are 740 companies, starting to study rare cancers , and has 950 products in development for rare cancers . Let's analyze the solution, which is the second point of the Investing New Ventures analysis: I personally think that this solution is good to look at. The easiest place ...

  The phrase how a new company can prescribe the correct product or service specification sounds pedantic, but now I'm going to give an even more shocking answer, which is " No prescribing at all !" Recently received two sets of demands from Africa, one said to make mobile phones, 30 per month, and the other said that they wanted mobile phone chargers, and the demand would fall between 10,000 ~ 100,000 pieces ->  Have you seen the problem with these two groups of people? Their common problem is that they have very little understanding of the market , market research is done indiscriminately, and I reasonably speculate that there are no customers at all. This is the reason they do not  even know the MOQ of the mobile phones, the specifications, and target price of the mobile phone charger. So what is the correct way to do it? If you have read the book Lean Startup, there should be some logic, but the book Lean Startup only mentions logic and has no corresponding tools, ...

When I visited a well-known VR startup before this incident, their CEO clearly mentioned: "I basically don't work with Taiwanese startups, because almost every startup in Taiwan wants to make a car, but almost all of them can’t even make a wheel frame!” Today, we start from the four points of investing in new ventures: 1.

Product - C...

  The name CirculOil is very good. At first glance, it can be seen that it is a company that allows oil to be recycled. Just like Foundersbacker, a company that helps founders at first glance, it is a good name! We also start from the four points of investing in new ventures to analyze why I invest in CirculOil: 1. Pain points and markets: a. Pain points: 60% of the waste oil is used to burn or dumped directly, which will have a great impact on the environment. For example, when we go to maintain motorcycles or cars, the oil is usually poured into a large iron bucket, and where does it go after that? No one knows, but it feels like it's not environmentally friendly. b. Market: The current market is weeding machines, but it is expected to enter generators and industrial motors in the future. 2. Solution: There is a set of patented technologies that allow 100% complete recovery and reuse of these oils. With the fundraising video attached, I saw 1:17 and knew I was going to invest: ht...
