Being from China, you have one major advantage over most of us: you're in the booming market of China.
If I knew anything about your country, language and culture, I'd probably give it a shot. You should use your situation to your advantage in my opinion. The asian culture is so foreign to us North Americans that it makes it nearly impossible for us to do business over there, yet, there's a huge opportunity.
- angkec 15y agoEveryone thinks this way, but then it's so hard for an average Chinese to succeed in his own country in the form of startups. Seems like there's more barriers facing a Chinese startup than an US equivalent. Plus there's this distant fear that the country will fail sometime in the future and all the sweat into the startup will evaporate. This is probably why so many Chinese are fleeing the country.
- cmer 15y agoWe have the same problems and barriers in the US. Nobody ever said starting a startup was easy.
- angkec 15y agoI know. But having being born in China and stayed in the US for the last 3 years, I feel there are many more barriers for a Chinese startup than a US one. That's why I've started my own in the US, even knowing that there will probably be some messy business when my student visa expires.
