will discuss his thoughts on web technology development, and will also share his thoughts
on the necessary environment for starting up a company as a technical person, as most of
us are. After starting up two companies, the first one being acquired by Quarterdeck, and
the second one on its way to IPO, Min will reflect on the days when he believed that
technology is all that takes to make a successful venture, and the change of his view to
believe that working in the right environment with experts in sales, marketing, financing
and other areas is the key to drive a successful startup. |
