36 Kr Media
In October 2010, 36Kr Media website was officially launched, and began to comprehensively record the Internet entrepreneurship ecology in China and even the world. So far, more than 20,000 startups have been exposed to hundreds of millions of audiences around the world, of which 90% of the start-up projects are exposed for the first time, and 75% of the early investment projects in China are covered by 36Kr reports, 54% of which have been invested by institutions, and 34% have been invested by top institutions, monopolizing the entrance of early-stage projects.
Due to the collection of a large amount of information, early entrepreneurs can check whether there are similar projects and the corresponding progress through 36Kr media when deciding whether to start a business. At the same time, many domestic mainstream outstanding investment institutions and investors also regard 36Kr Media as an important channel for discovering and screening financing projects.
In July 2016, the former co-founder of "First Financial Weekly" and a well-known investor, Feng Dagang, joined 36Kr, at the same time, 36Kr split the media business and operated independently, Feng Dagang became the president of the media company. Focusing on this concept, 36Kr Media has set up a feature department, an in-depth department, and a news department, with the former focusing on insightful business in-depth reporting, and the latter focusing on providing timely and comprehensive business news and information.
At present, 36Kr Media has built a content service system covering the whole business field, with top cooperation resources such as Web main station, App client, official WeChat public account, official Weibo and dozens of mainstream channels, and has launched emerging content products such as Kaikr and investor internal reference, as well as video works such as "Thirty-six Chronicles" and "Person of the Month". In December 2016, the 4th WISE Conference held by 36Kr Media included a unicorn conference, an investor summit, etc., inviting Liu Chuanzhi, Wang Shi, Feng Lun, Kai-Fu Lee, Gu Yongqiang and other entrepreneurs of the older generation, top investors from Sequoia, Jingwei, IDG and other institutions, as well as nearly 70 unicorn founders, to bring a wonderful dialogue and speech to all participants, and achieved a good reputation and huge influence in the industry.
In the future, 36Kr Media will continue to expand its service capabilities, enrich its media product line, record the growth history of China's new business in an all-round way, and at the same time, it will also form a strong media industry group by incubating or investing in more excellent vertical media, and become a content service provider deeply involved in the industrial chain, an integrator of industrial chain resources, and an innovative lifestyle creator, and continue to provide users with the best information, knowledge, opinions, trends and services.
Just as there is Wall Street and there is the Wall Street Journal, our vision is that there is an Internet and there is 36 Krypton.
