Benefits: Turn knowledge into practice.
It's summer vacation. After a busy semester, college students began their own happy holidays, or went out to travel, or participated in social practice, or stayed at home, while some people were busy with their own careers. Heze boy Hou Haoran is one of them.
Hou Haoran, born in 1997, is a sophomore in Shandong Jiaotong University. When he entered the university, he had his own entrepreneurial ideas. "High school students can get extra points for taking the independent entrance examination, but many students lack such professional knowledge. Many schoolmates have such troubles. " Hou Haoran said that it happened that some of his friends were doing patent application projects, and Hou Haoran thought, can you give them a docking and let the patent makers train their schoolmates, so that both sides are mutually beneficial, friends have resources, and schoolmates can also get extra points for patents.
With this idea, Hou Haoran wants to set up a company to serve independent enrollment. "We are a dream-helping team for students and parents, and an independent enrollment matching team for colleges and universities. We mainly do a composite material combination of scientific and technological innovation competition+university matching patents+university matching national journal papers. "
2065438+0165438 On October 9, 2006/kloc-0, Shandong Houfu Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was registered. "It was difficult at first. In order to get in touch with the school, I squatted in the sun at the school gate for several days before I met the school teacher and established contact with the school. "
"The starting point of starting a business is to do something by yourself, which is also a social experience." Hou Haoran said.
Like Hou Haoran, Zhang is also an entrepreneurial college student, studying at Shandong University. In order to respond to mass entrepreneurship and innovation, on 20 15, Zhang and his entrepreneurial team started their own entrepreneurial project. They took the lead in inventing a product called "smokeless lighter".
"I think starting a business at school allows us to get in touch with society in advance and investigate what society needs. Applying the professional knowledge we have learned to practice, even if it fails, it doesn't matter. This is an attempt. " Zhang said to him.
According to Zhang, Shandong University has more than 30 entrepreneurial projects with him.
Disadvantages: Subsequent fund expansion is a problem.
Zhang studied in the School of Physics of Shandong University, and just graduated this summer. After the summer vacation, he continued his graduate studies. Together with his friends, he designed and invented a self-generating fuel-free intelligent smoking cessation lighter, which can be used as an ignition source by running vibration power generation, and can also remind relatives and friends to implement smoking cessation plans in the app community.
Zhang believes that "it is a good thing to try to start a business during school. We developed from a small idea at the beginning to a bigger project, which is also an application we have learned. Now we are constantly revising our own projects and have developed two new projects. "
In this development process, it is believed that the main problem that Zhang encountered was the problem of funds. He told reporters, "At present, the funds mainly come from some cooperation with other existing companies and the venture capital of the school. The operation in the past two years is OK, but in the later stage, we should push the products to the market and want to occupy a competitive position in the market."
For Hou Haoran, money is not a small problem. He told reporters, "The starting capital for starting a business was mainly my own living expenses, and later my parents gave it to me."
According to "China University Students Employment and Entrepreneurship Development Report"? According to the data of 20 15-20 16, 73. 16% of entrepreneurs ranked in the top 30% in their academic performance. 76.20% have the experience of student cadres; 65.70% have work-study experience; 2 1.42% is party member.
Regarding whether starting a business at school affects one's studies, Zhang thinks that the influence is not obvious. He thinks that school time is abundant and there is a lot of free time. "Our team doesn't need to work all the time. Let's work together, and all the students who join the team have more spare time. At present, there are 3 backbone members and more than a dozen total members. "
Hou Haoran believes that school work is still relatively heavy, and starting a business is also a very hard thing, so you must be careful when choosing a business. "If you want to start a business during school, you must be mentally prepared unless you have a very strong entrepreneurial idea."
Expert: Improve the entrepreneurial environment and invest multiple resources.
Liuyong, dean of Shandong Entrepreneurship Vocational Training College, thinks, "Nowadays, college students often face problems such as high failure rate, lack of entrepreneurial belief and lack of funds. Entrepreneurship is a complex project. College students are passionate and energetic, but they lack industry knowledge, management experience and social experience and are prone to arrogance. "
"For college entrepreneurs, we must first make clear whether they are suitable for starting a business, establish correct entrepreneurial values, and clarify the fundamental purpose of starting a business. At the same time, we must also go deep into market research, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and help entrepreneurial success with vigorous energy and young and flexible minds. " Liuyong said that the establishment of a sound entrepreneurial guidance and assistance system, the traditional education model and the impetuous social atmosphere all tend to make college students form some thinking inertia that is not conducive to entrepreneurship. What is the essence of entrepreneurship and how to achieve the goal of entrepreneurship need to be sorted out before starting a business.
Xiong, the director of the teaching and research section of Entrepreneurship Philosophy and the author of Entrepreneurship Philosophy, believes that solving the problems and difficulties existing in college students' entrepreneurship is a systematic project and requires the participation of all social forces.
Xiong Hangwei said, "It is necessary to improve the entrepreneurial environment and invest resources in many ways, so that college students who want to start a business can really feel the support of society. It is also necessary to establish a relaxed public opinion environment and a diversified talent evaluation mechanism to make opponents more tolerant and understanding, truly liberate their creativity, and let innovators have a thriving soil. "
At present, Shandong entrepreneurship vocational training students are also making such an attempt. Implement the 0.5 entrepreneurial model, determine entrepreneurial projects through expert evaluation, then organize entrepreneurial instructors to make angel investment, extensively recruit and strictly screen entrepreneurs, and set up entrepreneurial teams through helping institutions. Entrepreneurs who get help will first become shareholders and operation managers of cooperative projects, and get the support of cooperative project parties and entrepreneurial instructors to ensure the success rate of entrepreneurship.
