China Facebook Race Pits Renren CEO Against Kaixin001 NextGen Entrepreneur

 Kaixin CEO 

If it's the entrepreneur who really matters more than the money or the model behind a startup's success, then the match between the two founders of competing Facebook sites in China - Renren and Kaixin001 - is going to be an interesting one to watch on Wall Street. Kaixin001 is expected to follow the lead of Renren soon. Quiet and unassuming where Chen can be colorful and dynamic, the bio of Cheng Binghao (see Silicon Dragon photo) is a study in contrasts with that of his key rival.

Just How is China Venture? 

Very! 

 

TSPYou don't need a meter to gauge that after two dry years, giant funds, mega deals and big IPOs are springing up in the busiest season yet for China startups. How long will it last? Hard to tell, but I hear echoes of the dotcom boom here. Join us at Silicon Dragon Beijing with our Who Who of VCs to discuss. The venue, Tsinghua Science Park - China's Sand Hill Road - is pictured.
