《Hard Technology Laboratory (DTL)》Mentor activities

 

As an entrepreneur all the way from the early accelerator，From an investor's perspective today.，To today as a mentor in the face of hard technology（Deep Tech）The academic founders.，Increasingly convinced of a data：in the early stage，Mentor's companionship and guidance are even more important than mere funding.。

Data Display，Start-ups with mentors have a 5-year survival rate of up to 70%（And only 35% don't have a mentor.），Revenue growth of up to 5.2 times，The probability of obtaining investment is up to 6 times。But for the academic founders of deep tech，"Find the right mentor match" is still the number one unmet need.。

Today, I discussed the core mind of DTL with all the excellent teachers.：
1. Availability（Accompanying）：in time for a sudden crisis on the boundaries of science，Build trust with reliable companionship。
2. Active Listening（Listen）：Listening to the Unique Scientific Context，Inspire self-discovery with open-ended questions，Rather than mechanically copy the experience of traditional industries。
3. Analysis（Insight）：Hit the real pain points of early investors and the market.，Peeling noise，Refining the core of what really matters at this stage。

As Michelangelo's sculpting principle-the role of the mentor is to "reveal" the path.，Instead of carving them"。

After the activity，We all had a delicious Filipino dinner.，Also specially for the district professor to celebrate the birthday！In the collision of strong human feelings and thoughts，Expect to see more hard tech projects coming out of Hong Kong，Walk more steadily、Farther！
