color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Y Combinator 到底做什麼呢？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;簡單來說，他們是&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;媒婆&lt;/span&gt;，就是提供創業初期的資金援助（Seed Funder），協助創業者度過最艱困的階段，然後 YC 會幫忙介紹其他的金主，讓創業者募集資金。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YC 的網站開宗明義表示，每個團隊他們投資的金額並不多（通常在 USD 2 萬以下），其實很多微型創業的公司，自有資金可能都超過這個數字了。所以這個資金只是一個補助（但 YC 要求持有 2~10% 的股份），他們真正想做的是參與你的創業過程，幫助創業者檢視Idea、修正方向，提供一個類似創業顧問的服務。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再者 YC 還指導創業者，如何面對投資人、併購者與其他創投；此外還提供智慧財產權及法律問題的諮詢，他們會幫你負擔這部分的律師諮詢費用，幫助你捍衛權益。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;如何取得 Y Combinator 的資金及援助？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;每年 YC 都會舉辦兩次的徵選活動（Match），分別為每年的&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 1 至 3 月&lt;/span&gt;與&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 6 至 8 月&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;br /&gt;想參加 Match 不需要繳交 Business Plan 或 Presentation，你只要填寫他們的&lt;a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/apply"&gt;申請表&lt;/a&gt;。&lt;br /&gt;YC 會挑選出一些他們覺得不錯的團隊，邀請你過去面談。&lt;br /&gt;面談過後，如果覺得適合，他們會馬上做出決定，給予&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;入場門票&lt;/span&gt;及&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;資金&lt;/span&gt;協助&lt;br /&gt;（兩萬美金以內, 這費用補貼你在灣區三個月的生活費用）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一旦被選中後，YC 會希望你暫時去&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;灣區（Bay Area）&lt;/span&gt;住一陣子參加徵選活動（Match），這段時間（10週）他們會舉辦很多的餐會，引見投資者、創投、媒體、律師及會計師給你，讓你得到這些人脈資源，希望創業者在這段期間內找到天使投資者（Angel）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這個模式，很像在舉辦 Job affair，把求職者（創業者）跟僱主 / HR（投資者）聚集起來，自己想辦法去 social，尋求機會，以集團式作戰的方式，總會有新創公司找到金主甚至得到被併購的機會。YC 稱這種方式為 Boot Camp（新訓中心 / 培訓營）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt; 年的Match活動報名截止日為 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2009 年 10 月 26 日&lt;/span&gt; 止，有志從事網路創業，並想在美國發表的，可以考慮看看。&lt;br /&gt;活動網址：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ycombinator.com/w2010.html"&gt;http://www.ycombinator.com/w2010.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1301495467228862846-3168631692561709756?l=funding101.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://funding101.blogspot.com/2009/08/y-combinator.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Allyssa Yang)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301495467228862846.post-2961588924403422981</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2009 09:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-07T18:11:02.400+08:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>創業計畫書</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>創業第一章</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Executive Summery</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>網路創業</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Business Plan</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>營運計畫書</category><title>創業第一章 - 摘要怎麼寫 (Executive Summary)</title><description>摘要並非是引言或介紹，而是一整個Business Plan的縮影，將整份文件濃縮成摘要，長度以&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;

font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. 營運計畫書應具備的基本要素 (Basics)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在撰寫之前，先要有一個基本認知，BP是一份行銷文件，而行銷的商品是你的創意、你的公司。&lt;br /&gt;所以BP也可以說是一個新創公司 (Startup) 的履歷 (Resume)，故事要生動吸引人，方向要明確清楚，有了基本的認知後，就可以開始發想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. 基礎支柱：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;    願景 (Vision) - 公司到底要做啥？&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    形象 (Image) - 如何吸引別人？&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    策略發展 (Strategy) - 怎麼做？&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;   2. 封面 (Cover Page)：包含公司名稱與聯絡方式、版本編號、法律宣告等。&lt;br /&gt;3. 目錄：記得包含頁碼&lt;br /&gt;4. 基本大綱：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;    摘要 (Executive Summary) - 整份BP的縮影，2-5頁為原則&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    公司及產品、服務描述 (Company and Products)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    市場分析、調查 (Market Research/Analysis)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    行銷計畫 (Marketing Plan)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    研發計畫 (Design and Development Plan)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    生產營運計畫 (Manufacturing and Operations Plan)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    團隊介紹 (Management Team)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;    時程 (Schedule)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;

(HHOTT)：&lt;/b&gt;標榜 special deals，模式是一般使用者可以訂閱喜歡的商家，而廠商可以藉由系統後台發送優惠訊息。可選擇要發佈的Channel ，如 facebook / twiiter 等。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;這個模式蠻實用的，也跟 craig 最近很想做的服務非常像。他想做幫中小企業發送優惠訊息至社群網路。說個跟這個服務無關的題外話。我覺得未來商家進入社群網路後，會演變成一種獨特的 spam，也就是&lt;a href="http://pinkfloyd7788.blogspot.com/"&gt; craig&lt;/a&gt;  說的 social spam。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;因為&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;人際型&lt;/span&gt;社群網路本來就是尋求朋友情感的交流，對廣告的敏感度不高，人們看到廣告很容易自動避開或忽略。不像&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;目的性&lt;/span&gt;社群網路，如電玩，彩妝，旅遊等特定主題，如果配合一點優惠或新奇消息很容易達到廣告效果，接受度很高。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myownrealestate.com/"&gt;MyOwnRealEstate&lt;/a&gt;：&lt;/b&gt;線上管理你的不動產。已經很紅很成熟了。現在回台攻佔市場。今天是由CTO 為我們介紹，整個人感覺很穩很專業，又很有熱情。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whiich.com/"&gt;Whiich&lt;/a&gt;：&lt;/b&gt;民宿黃頁平台，我覺得 present 的很好，果然是外商公司出來的。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://richi.cc/sign.aspx"&gt;Richi&lt;/a&gt;：&lt;/b&gt;這篇&lt;a href="http://adwitness.com/blog/make-money-with-richi/"&gt;Blog&lt;/a&gt;有解釋&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cywee.com/"&gt;CyWee Q&lt;/a&gt;：&lt;/b&gt;IPTV 數位內容平台。&lt;a href="http://www.google.com.tw/search?hl=zh-TW&amp;amp;q=cywee&amp;amp;btnG=%E6%90%9C%E5%B0%8B&amp;amp;meta=&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;oq="&gt;CyWee&lt;/a&gt; 已經非常紅了，不過他們這次是用一個類似 media center 的機器，家庭數位中心的概念。但是是利用 CyWee 來控制。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frienditude.com/"&gt;Frienditude&lt;/a&gt;：&lt;/b&gt;線上的手機通訊錄。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我個人覺得還不錯，蠻有潛力的。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;幾位創辦人很有熱情。雖然 present 時個人風格過於強烈，導致失焦。不過後來去攤位瞭解後，感覺不錯。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;贊助商工商時間&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;台灣微軟&lt;/b&gt;：檔案同步化至機器。例如你手機拍了一張照片可選擇要同步至那些機器，即使沒開機，也會等到連上線後再送過去。與家人朋友分享。也是服務裝置化的特殊應用。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;手寫塗鴉 AV 即時通：&lt;/b&gt;利用 smartphone 上安裝軟體，通話時可標示雙方地點，傳遞畫面來輔助溝通。應該是今日 present 最好的。有創意又不冷場。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hinet Xuite 隨意遊：&lt;/b&gt;旅遊景點 Wiki &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;華語文：&lt;/b&gt;chinese plaza。用 3D 虛擬實境學中文。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hinet KOD：&lt;/b&gt;iSing 99 有網路的地方  + 點歌機 就可以唱歌啦&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;總結心得：&lt;/b&gt;（走了很大一圈，終於找到一家咖啡廳跟 craig 聊聊）&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;網路服務生存的門檻越來越高，已經不能再是車庫創業了，一定要去尋找很多資源。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;大家都愛 LBS （Location Base Service）和 裝置服務化，很多服務都喜歡跟硬體硬扯上關係。或是強調 iPhone 的運用。可能是因為台灣硬體產業太成功，所以比較喜歡軟中帶硬。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com.tw/search?hl=zh-TW&amp;amp;rlz=1C1CHMI_zh-TWTW336TW336&amp;amp;q=%E7%94%A8%E6%89%8B%E8%B5%B0%E8%B7%AF+%E9%BB%8E%E6%99%BA%E8%8B%B1&amp;amp;btnG=%E6%90%9C%E5%B0%8B&amp;amp;meta=cr%3DcountryTW&amp;amp;aq=f&amp;amp;oq="&gt;用手走路的服務不少&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;，連 asobee 也都算。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;看人家作，或是批評人家是很簡單的，自己下去做很容易有盲點或是變成用手走路。一定要保持清醒與設定好目標。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;運氣要好。今天我看很多服務的團隊其實很堅強，就差了點運氣，替他們加油，也替台灣整個網路產業加油。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;中文版 與 創投會談 就待 craig 補充，我要來去趕 RU 專案了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1301495467228862846-3847824823214085214?l=funding101.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://funding101.blogspot.com/2009/08/2009-ideas-show-kooala.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (kooala)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
