The Effectiveness of Start-Up Incubators and Accelerators

Building incubators or accelerators has become a thing in Taiwan. Even governments have allocated funds in the business. 近來在台灣,設育成中心或加速器,變成了顯學,連政府都挹注公部門的資源下來一起做。這二個同樣都屬於「幫早期的創業者長大」的概念,彼此該如何劃分,尚非本文重點;在此僅針對我們所觀察到的怪象,略作省思。 現在從北到南的育成中心,都在做些什麼? (1) 提供Co-working space,一定期間免租金 (2) 提供講師、相關課程 (3) 自己投資一點點資源或資金,再提供與投資人媒合的機會 至於那些「嘴砲打很大、小孩生不出、付錢辦領養」的「掛榜」育成,和三流補習班買考上建中台大的名單有什麼差別? 純粹丟人現眼,在此就不提了。 先檢討上述(1), (2), (3)三項。 〔問〕Co-working space有沒有用? 不能說完全沒有。但重不重要? 〔答〕當然不重要。蛤? 「我還以為創業育成中心主要就是在提供這個啊」? 好吧,大家都知道HP, Google, Apple都從小小的車庫起家,最後都成為國際巨擘。先找個免費或便宜的地方,大夥聚在一塊兒想清楚該做什麼、怎麼做、把該找的人找齊、湊一筆啟動資金… 創業的常態,從以前到現在都是這樣。在寸土寸金的台北市,從591找,月租一萬元以下還附冷氣的8坪10坪可以擠進五個人工作(不然你還肖想101的辦公室嗎)的小套房都有一千多間,新北市有近三千間,再往南就更不必提了。這種價格你如果找二個伙伴還租不起,也不必考慮創業了,連下個月吃飯都會成問題,對吧?

Lack of Knowledge in Law, A Cog Could Break The Machine

We have been the legal counsel for the company for a decade. It is a listed company in Taiwan, has a healthy growth in sales and EPS year over year and its stock price looks great. 擔任A公司的常年法律顧問已經十幾年了。它在台上市,類股中的資優生,年年營收及EPS正成長,股價漂亮。公司高層和我們互動順暢,各種跨境交易、併購、智財權和勞資上的疑難雜症也都責成我們處理。 A有個美國大客戶,超級buyer,B公司。B打算和A進一步更緊密合作,並逐年擴大向A的採購,因此請A提供各項成本費用的數據,希望在精算後,訂出的交易模式更能確保雙方之共同長久利益;為此,B找了一家會計師事務所C來辦這件事。算著算著,發現A有個國外工廠在3年前出了一筆貨給B,那筆貨的成本帳上列了一條金額US$200的項目,既沒有原始憑證,又囫圇用 “Miscellaneous” (雜項)
