2. What are the fundable milestones for your raise?
3. Who do you start raising capital from?
4. How do you approach investors?
5. What about crowdfunding?

Hey GoGlobers!
China market, as a fast-constant growing market in gaming, has attracted more and more western companies to set up and expand their China reach.
With a contribution of $45.6 billion in revenues, China is by far the primary driver in Asia-Pacific regions which is the biggest region by game revenues, taking up around 26% of the Global Games Market in 2021. Owing to its massively mobile-first games, it was less impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 and indeed was a reverse growth upon that. There are more opportunities than challenges here though the Chinese government has lifted more strict rules in the market, which it becomes a major concern for most companies.
Upon the major impact of both Apple’s removal of IDFA policy and China’s strict policy in ISBN & Anti-addiction, Cherry Chen would love to share insights into how to enter China market by specifying its process, reasonable business terms, tips on finding the right partner.

- What tech ecosystem has MidWest become?
- Why MidWest and not Silicon Valley?

Hi Guys,
This post might be helpful for you. Maybe soon there will be no more free slots.
David Cohen, Co-Founder and Chairman at Techstars.
"One of my recent “pitch practice” sessions offered a clear example of the challenge many founders face in reconciling vision with focus.
When pitching investors, it’s always important to sell an intriguing vision for that investor to buy into. Your vision tells the investor this is an opportunity to do something big.
If you start your pitch by describing the specifics of what you are focusing on right now, you may lose an opportunity to excite an investor about the long-term potential of your startup.
Of course, what you’re focusing on right now is still important! That’s why your pitch should include a bridge from vision to focus that explains why what you are doing right now is something clear and valuable that puts you on the path to achieve your vision.
I wrote about the issue of vision and focus in this blog post: https://davidgcohen.com/2014/08/29/reconciling-vision-and-focus. It explains how your current focus—your startpoint—needs to be understood as part of a trajectory that builds towards a much larger theoretical endpoint.
It’s something every founder should think about when fundraising: How do you create a pitch that allows investors to buy into your vision but also helps them understand how and why your current focus will help you get there?
Remember, when it comes to vision and focus, it's not an "either-or": Sell a vision that excites investors about achieving something that can change the world. And back it up with the context of how your current focus is helping you get there.
If you’re working on a pitch, here's a checklist to help you choose the most relevant aspects of your story. And scroll down for a link at the end of this post if you want to grab a spot on my calendar to get some one-on-one feedback: https://davidgcohen.com/2022/01/24/practicing-and-perfecting-your-60-second-pitch"
