The Government has been encouraging young people to start their own business through scientific research achievements or technology application. Since the establishment of the Innovation and Technology Bureau in 2015, start-up projects and seed funds in all scales have sprung up.
Leo LU majored in Information Systems Management at the university. During his university years, he had been earning money by writing online applications for small and medium enterprises with his friends Oscar, Alan and Leo LEUNG. After completing a large-scale project for a client, they felt that they had already established good mutual understanding and were confident that they could develop their own products. They did not want to toil for other people any more, therefore they used the money earned from the project as the seed fund and joined innovation and technology competitions to test the feasibility of their business model. The granting of the incubation sponsorship of the Science and Technology Parks in 2018 gave them the confidence to give it a go and set up a company, and they later developed a mobile application of “dining offer platform”. Although the application is having an edge in technology as well as impeccable functions, their company did not achieve the desired performance at the start-up stage in the face of cruel competition in the business world and the challenges brought by the pandemic.
In this episode, Ringo LAM, one of the first Hong Kong serial entrepreneurs of technology companies, is invited to give them some advice.
