Stay tuned over the coming three weeks as we talk to foreign founders from Beijing to Shenzhen about what it takes to thrive in China. At Technode, we have great expat-preneurs knocking on our doors every day, which is why we’ve chosen to take a closer look at China’s foreign founders, and find out what it really takes to succeed in the middle kingdom. Having the support of an accelerator is a very handy entrance point for foreign founders, even if it’s not absolutely vital. Similarly, you won’t have much luck transplanting most foreign tech products or models into China, so studying the culture and consumer behavior is a vital step in starting up. Check out our rundown on China’s tech ecosystem and foreigners here.
