Caution Urban Myth Truth Billions, billions everywhere The bottom impose a heavy tax Local distribution and local functionality are necessary for entry The Urban Myth is still largely TRUE Burdens of size stifle innovation or early adoption in China Get the right technologies / all the other risks still apply The Party will not let anybody else in to the country Will pretend to want to partner and will end up building – a la MSFT The legal system is terrible and structures are unstable at best Is still weaker than more developed countries. Summary of Common Investment Hypotheses for China Market Size Only 300-400 million addressable market Chinese Partners and customers are increasing acceptance of foreign brands and goods Technology Localization Several key technologies are being deployed first in China Technology Innovation Political Risks Have succumbed to partnering route to market in select cases Some of the unstable structures are working. Genuine commitment. Legal / Fin. Structures
Silicon Valley VC Concerns Over Investing in China • Critical shortages of experienced management • Technology uniqueness & defensibility • Legal protectability of intellectual property • Venture friendly legal system, regulatory infrastructure • Unnecessary company formation complexity • Corporate governance, compliance, transparency • Inadequate international stock exchanges, listing requirements, currency constraints (exit constraints) • Political, country risk • Shareholder rights issues (e.g. CNC) • Ever changing, conflicting government mandates and their impact on startups
