Shanghai in the eyes of Silicon Beat
When I frst came to China, Silicon Beat the VC blog out of Silicon Valley very kindly did a piece on my mission to China, ever since then I have been inviting Matt out to come sample Shanghai for himself, however his trip coincided with my trip back to London.
That aside he has written up on what he experienced here, and I am glad he managed to party with some of my buddies here at Bar Rouge, apparently Mimi was there aswell and Matt has a picture to prove it somewhere.
Before I left from the U.S., two friends had recommended I look up Mark, a passionate and plugged-in young man of 35. However, despite emails back and forth, we'd missed each other -- he is a busy guy.
Then here I was, being introduced to him at 3am in a bar with next to some Ukrainian and Brazilian models. This wouldn't have happened in Silicon Valley -- namely because there's no such thing as a hip bar that jams until 5am -- or at least one that I know of, or which VCs frequent. And alas, no Ukrainain or Brazilian models.
