Did you know that Beijing has more unicorn startups than any city in the world? That startups in China accounted for 47% of the World’s venture capital funding?

We’ve seen that what many Chinese startups learned last year will become apparent and relevant to the West next year. 

China's lead in social commerce is just one example:

This 2+ year knowledge gap puts the West at a meaningful disadvantage, subject to information asymmetry vs fast-moving disruptors and leads to reactive and defensive positioning vs proactive and offensive investments into the future.

What if we could pull this knowledge forward and in doing so help you make better decisions?

This month we are launching our China office to help you do just that.

Introducing Radicle China

Based in Shenzhen, Radicle China will be led by Jianqian Lin and will be working on behalf of Western companies who want to better understand how Chinese startups are shaping the future of their markets. 

Radicle China will help you gather first-hand insights and intelligence from leaders on the forefront of dynamic, disruptive, and fast-growing Chinese startup markets that matter to you. Markets like:

What do these markets look like? Who are the leaders and emergent threats? How do their approaches compare and differentiate? What can we learn from their approaches? Are there partnership opportunities and what could they look like?

If you'd like to learn more, let's schedule time and in advance we will prepare a sample list of Chinese startups from which we think you'll be able to derive interesting insights. 

Every week, Jianqian is tweeting insights from Shenzhen. For more information and tweets about Radicle China - please follow @jianqianlin

Looking forward!
