Beijing Yide Ark Information Technology Co., Ltd.
Beijing Yide Ark Information Technology Co., Ltd. (FanSo.com) was founded by Tsinghua University students on, 1999. It is the first Internet company founded by college students to attract venture capital.

FanSo's entrepreneurial philosophy is derived from campus and serves students, and its business content is closely related to the life of college students. FanSo's entrepreneurial model and starting point can be said to be very distinctive: first, it seized the opportunity of the development of the Internet, which is a new thing and an effective carrier and tool. Theory and practice also show that ICP is an important business model based on the Internet, and entrepreneurs, as college students, have a sensitive understanding of the Internet. They can not only recognize the development direction of the Internet, but also give play to their own strengths, which is a typical example of taking advantage of new economic opportunities; Second, it takes students and campus as the main service objects and universities as the business background, which is the main strength of entrepreneurs. As college students, they have a deep feeling and understanding of the needs and psychology of college students, and they have the unique vitality, sensitivity, courage and imagination of young people. At the same time, they use rich school resources, and FanSo has carried out various forms of cooperation with many universities. Thirdly, FanSo has introduced venture capital, which is still a relatively new thing in China, but it plays an important role in the early stage companies, especially ICP companies.
, Mark Anderson and American Netscape Company
Mark Anderson, one of the founders of American Netscape Company, a young man who changed the history of the Internet, didn't find a better job when he just graduated from college, so he wrote Internet browsing software with a few like-minded friends and developed the Mosaic browser. In May, 1994, he co-founded Mosaic Communication Company (the predecessor of Netscape) with Jim Clark, a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley. Clark invested 4 million US dollars to bring Anderson and his partners to Silicon Valley and concentrate on developing web browsers. In less than two months, Anderson and his partners successfully developed a new version of Mosaic and named it "Navigator". Then the sales of new browsers rose by leaps and bounds on the Internet, accounting for 8% of the total.
On, 1995, Netscape, which was founded less than 16 months ago and never made a profit, went public in new york. This small company with an initial capital of only $4 million became a giant of $2 billion overnight. Anderson, who is only 25 years old, seems to have gone from penniless to an "Internet millionaire" with $58 million. In September, 1997, American "Flag" magazine called Anderson an "unrestricted capitalist" and predicted that "technical Marxism" had arrived. Clark, as the chairman of Netscape, was worth $565 million on the second day after the company went public. The electronic engineering professor from Stanford University was keenly aware of the powerful potential of the Internet and found the value of an outstanding young man like Anderson, which led to such achievements.
, Jerry Yang and Yahoo
When Yahoo is mentioned, people will immediately think of Jerry Yang. At the end of 1993, he studied for a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Stanford University. When the Internet browser came out, he spent all day surfing the Internet and stopped writing his doctoral thesis. He and his schoolmate David Philo decided to start an online company, but they didn't have enough money and couldn't find money from their parents or friends, so they thought they had to find a visionary venture capitalist. They went smoothly. The first one found Adams, a successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley and the founder of the international shopping network, and hit it off and set up Yahoo!
on 12th, 1994, Yahoo was listed on Nasdaq, and its market value reached 85 million dollars in one day, which was 2 times that estimated by the acquirer a year ago. The listing raised $2 billion for Yahoo, and Yang Zhiyuan, who was only 28 years old, became a billionaire. Today, the market value of Yahoo is close to $7.5 billion. In the words of Businessweek, "Yahoo! It's like a castle built on the beach, but skyscrapers have been built around overnight. "
Shimeile-the first high-tech company for college students in China
Shimeile was praised by the media as the first high-tech company for college students in China, and its core technology product was called "Multimedia Projector", which was invented by Qiu Hongyun, a material student in Tsinghua University. In September, 1999, three Tsinghua students, Qiu Hongyun, Wang Ke and Xu Zhong, raised 5, yuan to register the company with the help of their friends and family. Two months later, Shanghai No.1 Department Store Co., Ltd. signed an agreement with Shimeile to inject 52.5 million yuan of venture capital in two phases, which was the first case of localized venture capital in China. In December, 1999, the patented product of "Shimeile"-multimedia super-large screen projector was successfully piloted. In May, 2, Aucma Group invested 3 million yuan in a joint venture with "Shimeile" to establish Beijing Aucma Shimeile Information Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Aussie) to develop, produce and sell multimedia super-large screen projectors and related audio-visual products. In May, 2, the production base with an annual output of 1, multimedia projectors was completed in Qingdao Economic and Technological Development Zone.

It is a world-leading trendy product connected with the Internet, and its products have been successfully put on the market.
Internet Lab
Fang Xingdong, the founder of "Internet Lab", is addicted to being a poet and an attending doctor in the IT field, and now he has become a protagonist in the contemporary myth of creating wealth. In February 2, Fang Xingdong was rated as "an important high-tech entrepreneur in China" by Asia Weekly. People in the industry even offered him a price, saying that Fang Xingdong's name was worth at least 4.86 million yuan. Jiang Qiping, the chief theorist of Internet Lab, commented on Fang Xingdong: "Gates, Jerry Yang and Anderson didn't get their first million until they left school at least. At this point, Fang Xingdong (Tsinghua, Ph.D.) is more successful. ". Zhang Chaoyang, another expert in the use of "attention economy" in China, said: Whether you can get the attention of the society depends on how many attractive topics you have at hand.
Maisiwei Technology Development Co., Ltd.
At the beginning of its establishment, Maisiwei only had a registered capital of 3, yuan, which was earned by Chen Xuguang and several Tsinghua students through hard programming. Six months later, South Korea's SK Group invested 7 million yuan, which enabled the enterprise to achieve rapid development. As the chairman of the board, Chen Xuguang, who is only 25 years old, dares to challenge: "Zhang Chaoyang is definitely not as happy as I am, and your company will recognize you only after making money!"
The above are only some typical cases of college students' successful entrepreneurship. In our time, there are many such cases. It is reported that these companies are striving for listing. In China, although there is no perfect venture capital mechanism as in the United States, and there is no Nasdaq stock market, these start-up companies have been put into operation, and the securities regulatory authorities in China have announced that relaxing the conditions for high-tech enterprises to enter the stock market may become a reality in the near future. Once listed, the shares already held by the founders of these startups may rank among the billionaires.
