Shlomi:
”After completing my degree at the Hebrew University, I received a scholarship to study Chinese in Chengdu and decided to move to China with my wife. However, shortly after beginning my studies, I discovered my desire to become an entrepreneur and started my first venture – an electric car-sharing company in Chengdu. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that the project was beyond my abilities and experience, so I transitioned to consulting for an Israeli startup accelerator in Chengdu. There, I met Dean and shared my idea of starting a marketing agency to help international brands enter the Chinese market through social media. Dean was open to the idea, and we began working on it together.”
Dean:
”Throughout my career, I have gained experience in various industries, including technology research, development, and management in large state-owned enterprises and research institutes, as well as work in a significant local advertising group. However, I also had the unfortunate experience of failing two startup ventures. Both companies had solid business plans and received recognition from investors, but ultimately could not turn their goals into successful businesses. I was working in the IT team of a gaming startup when I met Shlomi and was immediately impressed by his intelligence. When he shared his idea of assisting foreign companies in entering the Chinese social media market, I saw the potential for a successful business.”
Shlomi and Dean had a somewhat uncertain vision when they founded Up2China. They knew they wanted to start a business and generate revenue, but they needed a clear plan for where they wanted the company to be in the next few years. Despite this uncertainty, they established a basic company structure, complete with an employee and a single desk for an office. The early days of Up2China were a challenge, as the founders had no investment, no government support, and no distinctive technological capabilities. Building a company from scratch is always difficult. Still, Shlomi and Dean laid the foundations for a successful business by establishing a solid business model and developing the necessary industry resources and professional skills.
Today, the company has more than 60 employees and, after seven years in operation and more than 70 satisfied clients, has gained recognition for its successful case studies.
