Invest
We offer investors an opportunity to participate in a platform venture instead of a conventional pipeline business. We build platforms based on meta paradigms, where China is leading in the World. Our business models always fill out a market gap, with the goal of establishing a “Monopoly”.
Platform Business
Platforms facilitate interactions by providing tools and rules that make it easy to connect and encourage valuable exchanges, communities and positive network effects.
Meta Paradigms
A Paradigm shift is a major change in the concepts and practices of how new Internet Applications, Protocols and Architectures can generate whole new Business Models
Market Gap
What's most dangerous in a Startup: a bad team, a weak product, or a poor market? Marc Andreessen argues that "the only thing that matters" is the Startup's Market.
Startup Clone Factory
Sinolab is a ‘Startup Clone Factory”, with the purpose of developing Multiple Platform Business Models by replicating concepts from innovative Chinese Tech firms. In particular, we monitor Digital Platforms in China with:
- Pioneering Features and Services
- Innovative User Experiences (UX)
- Distinct User Interfaces (UI)
- Unique Monetizing Models
Criterias
We strive to find Schemes where Chinese Internet Business Models are already leapfrogging, or can outstrip those of the West:
- Innovative Chinese Platforms, where a Western Counterpart do not exist.
- Chinese Platforms where innovation is more sophisticated than their Western counterpart.
- Chinese Internet Platforms with extraordinary Fast User Generation
- Early Investments of the Best VC firms in China (both foreign and Chinese)
- Demand gaps and Painpoints facing Chinese Consumers when traveling
Framework
The Purpose of the SINOLAB FRAMEWORK is to both increase likelyhood of success and reduce the investment costs:
- Market First: Markets are more important then the Product and Team. A thorough understanding of both the Producer & Consumer market is needed when it comes to Platform business models.
- Network Effects: The more Consumers use the Platform, the more Producers it draws, who in turn attract new Consumers, and so on. These dynamics is carefully considered before developing our Platform business models.
- Come for the Tool, Stay for the Network: Our Platforms always comprise build-in tools that can pull the first beachhead users. Users will then tend to stay in our Platforms because of the Network and Core Interaction.
- Core Interaction: The Core Interaction that enables between Producers and Consumers in our Platforms is the single most important form of activity that takes place. This involves 3 components: Participants, the Value Unit and the Filter.
- Effective curation: The process by which our Platform filters, controls and limits the access of users, the activities they participate in and the connections they form with other users. This involves multiple levels of network matching
