Funding+option

Alex 11 March 2011

Lee Wen & Liming, thank you for preparing the funding options report.

My input: Slide 5: if possible please add something under "Loan" (e.g. Bank Loan), so it will balance with the other two (says Prof Alton :p ) It feels like China (9 slides) and Singapore (5 slides) is not too balanced, China have more information, we may need to tell (in the class presentation) that we will focus more on the China, as the Singapore will be covered by the other teams also. Do we need to add links / reference, where to get more information for each options?

Thanks & Regards, Alex

Jami - Don't forget to put our group and members in your submission. Good to have a cover page.

Hello, here's mine (Verena)

Slide 6: To support the transformation from high- tech into commercial stage Do you mean: To encourage high-tech innovations to go commercial?

Credit Risk Compensation Fund

(An uniformed investment platform established by government) By "uniformed", you mean an investment platform that is the same across the board? If so, then i think it's just "uniform". No such word - uniformed.

I took the liberty of correcting some grammar stuff. Please use this ppt

Hi Jami, Thank you very much for your comments! for 1, these plans are not proposals, they all have been implemented. for 2, the first "angel capital" is under the goverment assistance, which means the government invests directly. The second "angel capital" is not from the government, it's the one that we commonly know which from the private sectors. for3, i have tried to conclude that, but as in China part, there are not so many schemes and numbers, so finally, only the Singapore part is there. Thank you, we'll continue to improve the work. ---by Liming (08/03/2011)

___ 8 Mar 11 - Jami

these are my comments:

1) para 2.1 : "a series policies have been proposed, like “Several suggestions for encouraging the development for SMEs in China” (Chinese Government [2000]59)" - these policies have not been implemented yet? just proposal??

2) Is there a repeat in points? "Angel Investor" and "Venture Capital Fund" appears both under Government Innovation Fund and also "Investor"

3) Table-1 provides a summary of the Singapore funding options available for startup). It will be good to haave a summary for the China one, otherwise the reports looks lop-sided.

Hi all, Here is the draft prepared for the Funding Option on 12th March, welcome all your comments. contributed by Lee Wen and Liming
