Tsinghua Entrepreneur Club
The Tsinghua Entrepreneur Club is established in recognition of the need to bring together top talents who are passionate about entrepreneurship. Our mission is to create a support community and provide key resources to help entrepreneurs in building successful next generation global companies. In addition, we see tremendous value in creating a lifelong network for members who share the same passion in building great companies. The Entrepreneur Club will serve as a platform to foster interactions and networking among the members. We encourage members to learn from each other and leverage one of the best networks in Silicon Valley and around the world. The Entrepreneur Club will invite distinguished speakers, including entrepreneurs, executives, and investors, to share invaluable insights and experience in creating successful companies and products. The goal is to accelerate learning of entrepreneurial concepts through ongoing education. Entrepreneurship is important whether the intention is to start a company or not. Entrepreneurship is a mindset – the mindset to create great value by leveraging available resources. This “intrapreneurial” mindset is also very critical for managers within a company in bringing new product ideas to the market. We welcome any interested members of the Tsinghua alumni network to join the club. We are very excited about the establishment of the Tsinghua Entrepreneur Club in Silicon Valley. We hope this platform will help many entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in creating successful and lasting companies and products.
