bbd101, we understand your concerns, and this is exactly what we don't want NextStep to become. NextStep is designed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. NextStep is looking to build a community around entrepreneurs that meets on a frequent basis. Our first event on March 6th, as mentioned before, had a great turn out of well over 100 business savvy individuals. Our second event will be held on Tuesday, March 20th from 8 til 10pm at the 789 Bar on the 65th floor of the Le Meridien Hotel near People's Square. I suggest you come and check it out for yourself.

If you would like to be put on our mailing list, please email us at SHGBIZ@gmail.com with your name and mobile phone number.

Next event: Tuesday, March 20 (8til 10pm) 789 Bar @ 65th floor of Le Meridien Hotel, No. 789 Nanjing East Road, near the intersection with XiZang Road (t¡bet Road)

Thats a wonderful idea and I hope there will be many women entrepreneurs too!! I have a factory near SH and shuttle in and out of China... cannot bear to live there after trying...Its a struggle sometimes in a foreign country, nothing compared to the simple mode of operations and regulations that we have back on home ground. Meeting entrepreneurs from different fields will be very interesting and useful.

Do keep me in the loop and update for any upcoming events!

Hi,

I am interested in starting a food/business here in Shanghai. However, I don't really know where to sart in terms of regulations, laws etc.

Is your meeting the kind of meeting that I might be able to talk with others about this or is it more about opening a business in general or about being an entrepreneur?

Thanks,
deetz123

Post subject: Doing the Entrepreneur Cocktail Hour again in 2 weeks?

Hi Guys,
I wasn't able to attend at Le Meridien tonite, but would like to know how it went, and if another session is planned for two weeks from now?
I'm an entertainer with a unique service and my own new business. I'm at the point where I probably wouldn't benefit much from comments from biz lay people, but could benefit tremendously from experienced entrepreneurs, especially in the areas of wooing investment and marketing partnership. I'm known in town as The Rapping Professor, have been featured in SH Daily, SH mag and appeared on TV etc. URL at www.rappingprofessor.com.
I compose and perform original songs and raps for private, corporate and conference events. Anyone who introduces me to a client who then uses my services gets a 10% 'finder's fee' as my way to say
Quote:
THANKS!
Same goes for introductions to potential investors or marketing partners for my business. Help me rap the house, please! --RaProf-- Cool

Hi everyone,

Just another friendly reminder that the upcoming NextStep event will be held on Tuesday, May 8th at 8pm at the LeMeridien Hotel's Favola Restaurant and Bar. Perched directly above People's Park on the 8th floor will bring a nice change of scenery. Come meet the movers and the shakers of the entrepreneur world here in Shanghai. We have had great turnouts for past events and we want to keep up the great momentum. This is a great venue to learn from other entrepreneurs, build new contacts, and learn about the intricacies of business start-up financing.
