Florian Bohnert (富天宇)

Shanghai Co-Director

I'm an goal-driven, open-minded & socially active ENTJ with a passion for environmental protection, entrepreneurship & pluriculturalism. These three keywords definitely define my personal brand, and that's why I do what I do in the Chinese startup environment. Being the first foreigner to join Mobike is definitely exciting, and it's even more exciting to spearhead the global development of its disruptive business model. I wouldn't have it any other way than sweating hard for what I believe in, evanglising our solution across the globe, striving to provide a more sustainable means of transportation to congested & polluted cities. I graduated with a Post-Master in International Energy Management from Beijing's Tsinghua University & Paris' Ecole des Mines, as well as a Master of Eco-design & Sustainable Transports from ESTACA. I'm trying to find time to pass HSK 6, and reading EMBA brochures. 摩拜单车是全球第一个无桩自行车共享平台，让用户能方便地租还自行车，用人人可负担得起的价格完成市内短途出行，且健康环保。个人学了九年的中文，虽然偶尔忘字而搞错声调，我很自豪能够流利地用中文沟通而写读，甚至理解中国的历史和文化。学海无涯，有志竟成，尽管联系我！

China Startup Report: The Sleeper Awakens (Part 1 of 5)

Steve Blank 2016-01-08T17:00:00+00:00
I just spent a few weeks in Japan and China on a book tour for the Japanese and Chinese versions of the Startup Owners Manual in 2013. In these series of 5 posts, I thought I’d share what I learned in China. Since these posts, the Chinese entrepreneurship community has continued to flourish and mature, with leading companies like Alibaba going for their IPO and making new Chinese millionaires, many of whom will become new angel investors.
