Geeks on a Plane

By Tina Tran

After an amazing hike up the Great Wall and a walking tour of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, we closed out the last day of our Beijing trip with a Startu2Startup dinner.

Startup2Startup is a networking event where entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to pitch their startup to potential investors and get feedback from a panel of investing experts. Dave McClure of the Founders Fund, Joyce Kim of Soompi, and Jui Tan of BlueRun Ventures provided tips to three entrepreneurs who each gave pitches lasting thirty seconds, two minutes, and five minutes.

Before the pitching commenced, Dave gave a lively, no-holds-barred presentation that emphasized how entrepreneurs should pitch the problem, not the solution.  Check out Dave’s must-see presentation below.
