May 6 (Wednesday)<\/strong><\/p>\n Is now a good time to launch your startup? How do students and young alums start their entrepreneurial journey, from idea to impact? What kind of help and resources can HKU offer?<\/p>\n The Fireside Chat started with a virtual tour of HKU iDendron<\/strong>: an innovation and entrepreneurship hub, located on 1\/F Knowles Building. Opened in October 2017, iDendron has nurtured 60 startup teams and 20 high-potential HKU early stage startup incubatees, and organised over 250 events, pitching sessions and workshops, including the first MedTech Hackathon in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n Harris Cheng<\/strong>, co-founder of Freehunter, met his startup partner Jerome at the HKU DreamCatchers seed fund event upon his graduation in 2017. Freehunter is a business media platform with 200,000 freelancers from various industries and regions. The startup brings changes to freelance industries by providing a space for freelancers to collaborate, build connections and explore career opportunities. \u201cI was a freelance photographer when I was a university student and that inspired my startup idea. University students may not possess the top technologies, but they have their own experiences that can inspire them to discover problems and the needs of society. These can contribute to coming up with business ideas. Running a startup is like being a fireman, firefighting the unexpected on a daily basis, including the users\u2019 responses, technical problems and financial issues…\u201d<\/p>\n Kyle Leung<\/strong>, G\u00f6\u00f6p co-founder, had worked in many different fields, including private banking, human resources, digital media and public relations, before he began his entrepreneurial journey. G\u00f6\u00f6p is a social media for university students, aiming to help everyone find their networks and circles. Launched two years ago, it now has 700,000 university student users. The business is trying to open up the market to secondary school students in Hong Kong and also university students in Indonesia. Kyle gave tips to current students and new graduates: \u201cTry out different things and you will find the path you want. Like a big T, one must have a broad range of knowledge and skills as well as a unique in-depth expertise… this will be your edge to advance your career.\u201d<\/p>\n Jasmine Poon<\/strong>, a final year BA student, agreed with Kyle that it is good to try out different things. Jasmine worked as a business journalist and reporter for her internships. In the past year, Jasmine\u2019s startup team has been the champion of three hackathons, and she currently leads the business strategy of two startups: UVify MedTech and LiteX LegalTech. She said, \u201cIf you can\u2019t find people with same passion as yours, just start doing what interests you and create an environment that nurtures your passion… Like-minded companions will naturally be attracted to join you.\u201d<\/p>\n Laurence Tang<\/strong>, Senior Manager of iDendron, who has witnessed many startup teams as they go from having initial idea to making an impact, said, \u201cDon’t create a solution for a problem that doesn\u2019t exist. Start with the pain points and problems around you. COVID-19 is more than a pandemic, it brings about many social problems such as fake news, unemployment and domestic violence\u2026it is well worth our effort to tackle these issues.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a> \u793e\u4ea4\u624b\u6a5f\u61c9\u7528 G\u00f6\u00f6p \u806f\u5408\u5275\u8fa6\u4eba\uff0c\u4e3b\u8981\u8ca0\u8cac\u7522\u54c1\u8a2d\u8a08\u53ca\u7522\u54c1\u71df\u92b7\u3002Kyle \u66fe\u6d89\u7375\u591a\u500b\u884c\u696d\uff0c\u5305\u62ec\u79c1\u4eba\u9280\u884c\u5206\u6790\u3001\u4eba\u529b\u54a8\u8a62\u53ca\u6578\u78bc\u5a92\u9ad4\u548c\u516c\u95dc\uff0c\u6a5f\u7de3\u5de7\u5408\u4e0b\u958b\u59cb\u5176\u5275\u696d\u4e4b\u65c5\u3002G\u00f6\u00f6p \u662f\u4e00\u500b\u70ba\u793e\u7fa4\u800c\u751f\u7684\u793e\u4ea4\u5a92\u9ad4\uff0c\u81f4\u529b\u9023\u7d50\u300c\u534a\u719f\u4eba\u300d\u53ca\u70ba\u6bcf\u500b\u4eba\u627e\u5230\u5176\u5708\u5b50\uff0c\u63a8\u51fa\u5169\u5e74\u591a\u7372\u53d67\u842c\u5927\u5b78\u751f\u7528\u6236\u3002\u73fe\u6642\uff0cG\u00f6\u00f6p \u6b63\u62d3\u95ca\u7528\u6236\u7fa4\u81f3\u4e2d\u5b78\u751f\u53ca\u958b\u62d3\u5370\u5c3c\u5927\u5b78\u5e02\u5834\u3002<\/span> Harris\u662f\u521d\u5275\u4f01\u696d Freehunter \u7684\u5275\u8fa6\u4eba\uff0c\u4e26\u70ba Hong Kong 30 Under 30 2019 \u5f97\u734e\u8005\u4e4b\u4e00\u3002Freehunter \u662f\u500b\u73fe\u6709 2 \u842c\u4f4d Freelancers \u7684\u5de5\u4f5c\u793e\u4ea4\u5e73\u53f0\uff0c\u73fe\u65bc\u9999\u6e2f\u3001\u53f0\u7063\u53ca\u65b0\u52a0\u5761 3 \u500b\u5e02\u5834\u767c\u5c55\u696d\u52d9\u3002Freehunter \u540c\u6642\u70ba\u6e2f\u5927 iDendron Incubation Programme\u3001\u4e9e\u6d32\u521d\u5275\u52a0\u901f\u5668 Appworks \u53ca\u6578\u78bc\u6e2f\u4e4b\u57f9\u80b2\u516c\u53f8\u3002Harris \u662f\u6e2f\u5927 2017 \u5e74\u7684\u7562\u696d\u751f\uff0c\u7562\u696d\u5f8c\u8207\u540c\u70ba\u6e2f\u5927\u7684 Jerome \u4e00\u8d77\u5275\u7acb Freehunter\u3002\u4ed6\u5011\u5e0c\u671b\u5e6b\u52a9\u5e02\u5834\u4e0a\u6709\u624d\u80fd\u800c\u672a\u88ab\u767c\u6398\u7684\u4eba\u624d\uff0c\u4e26\u70ba\u4ed6\u5011\u5e36\u4f86\u4e00\u500b\u66f4\u65b9\u4fbf\u3001\u66f4\u6709\u6548\u767c\u5c55\u4e8b\u696d\u7684\u9580\u8def\u3002<\/span> Growing up in Hong Kong, Jasmine went to Singapore International School and American International School before studying at HKU.
