Introduction to the Yichuang Angel Program
The Yi Chuang Angel Program is supported by alumni Ms. Zhang Haoling, who donated funds on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the college. The aim is to explore, incubate, and support a group of potential social enterprises and innovative talents through an innovative model that combines public welfare venture capital and influence investment. The project leverages the resource advantages of Shenzhen International Public Welfare College and its initiators, and collaborates with partners in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and other regions to establish a diverse network of academic, practical, and investment resources in a cycle of discovery, selection, empowerment, resource integration, and accompanying growth, and to improve the social innovation ecosystem.
On September 19, 2020, with the closing of the "SDGs Joint Challenge Roadshow" of the Joint Challenge Acceleration Camp and the Yichuang Angel Program, significant progress was made in the second phase of the Yichuang Angel Program's empowerment.

Yinqing Culture - Ma Yinqing: Focusing on IP creation for people with disabilities, comprehensively stimulating their creativity and entrepreneurship. Adopting the form of self building and alliance cooperation, we aim to create an industry chain for online celebrity training, incubation, filming, post production, and platform services.

Cloud Speaker - Li Liming: With the promotion and application of the "Cloud Speaker" brand, over 700000 express delivery personnel have registered and used it, with an average daily notification volume of 2.5 million times and a cumulative notification service of over 2.3 billion times, serving over 200 million customers.
What difficulties have you encountered? Why persist until now?
Jinglun Century - Xu Jingjing: At the beginning of entrepreneurship, we proposed the deep integration of big data, artificial intelligence, and medicine. At that time, few people could understand what we were trying to do.
The biggest challenge we face is the lack of tolerance and understanding among the public towards social enterprises and innovation. When we want to use commercial models to sustainably solve social problems, many people believe that our ultimate goal is to commercialize public welfare for personal gain. Therefore, it is currently not possible to reach a larger audience, achieve a grander vision and mission, and achieve the transformation of grassroots enterprises, social institutions, and social enterprises. Whenever I say I am a public welfare practitioner, everyone's expression seems to be telling me, 'This is really strange,' and I don't think it's a profession.
Since I was 16 years old, I have been using my vacation time to teach in the mountains. For me, the innocence and cuteness of children is a form of healing, allowing me to feel warmth that I have never felt before. From another perspective, volunteers are also people who are helped by children, and this feeling is particularly beautiful. I want to solve the problem of left behind children in poverty-stricken mountain villages in China, drive the development of rural economy, bring good education to children, and achieve a change from quantity to quality.

Have you ever felt happy?
Creator Public Welfare MCN - Ling Yuhan: What I have been doing is spreading content in the field of animal protection. After establishing a communication model, I received full support from various parties such as Chow Tai Fook and Ping An Bank. The thinking of resource replacement is very simple, but it is really difficult to add it to public welfare. I believe it is a happy thing for all parties to benefit from doing public welfare.

Yinghua Materials - Li Jian: There are too many happy things. I am someone who quickly forgets painful things, actively looks forward, and doesn't dwell too much on the past. Compared to a comfortable life, I believe that starting a business can gain more. Even in the face of hardship, the rewards are always worth it, and I firmly strive to achieve my goals step by step.
Shan Yin Co benefits - Long Jingjing: I am fortunate to have found my future development goals and directions at such a young age, recognized my social responsibility, and dedicated more care to the children of the mountains.
What are your expectations for your future?
Yin Qing Culture - Ma Yin Qing: Try to output some cultural and creative content, tell stories about disabled groups, and provide more insights into people's lives. Business will not give more sympathy and care just because we are a special group, but we still need to make our own hardcore products.
Yinghua Materials - Li Jian: You don't necessarily need to do it "fast", you just need to do it "big" right away, as long as you follow the pace of the enterprise's own development step by step. We must do it for a long time, meaningfully, and sustainably.
Jinglun Century - Xu Jingjing: After the epidemic, the public's attention to health has unprecedentedly increased. Governments, institutions, central enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises are all willing to focus on and invest in big health. Therefore, great health will drive continuous technological innovation. We work with our partners to empower elderly care, pharmacies, and high-end medical institutions, utilizing internet resources to immerse expert resources and serve our families. How to embrace a large flow of traffic in the era of the Internet and import it, using the entire medical product service, product ecosystem, and general medical platform to serve, so that customers can achieve exponential growth, is a problem that I have been thinking about. In the end, I hope that Jinglun Century can become a large commercial platform with a sense of social responsibility, continuously refining its business model, and welcoming new stages of development.

Shan Yin Gong Yi - Long Jing Jing: Although constantly shuttling between cities and mountains, the journey is long, and in order to survive, I constantly strive to find resources for my organization, but this is something I want to persist in and tirelessly want to achieve. As long as there are still children who need our help, I will fulfill my promise and provide them with continuous support. Because of my persistence, my friends, family, and classmates around me have all been motivated. In the next 1-2 years in Hunan Province, we hope that Shanyin can develop more friendly and cooperative rural areas, provide them with better education support services, and assist in rural revitalization. We also hope to expand to Guizhou, Yunnan, Hainan and other regions in the future, combined with the model of public welfare education assistance, so that more young people can join our teaching team and recruit professional "rural managers" to help us achieve our vision together.
What do you want to say to your buddies who have just entered the entrepreneurial journey?
Creator Public Welfare MCN - Ling Yuhan: By doing what you love, you can definitely find a way out.
Jinglun Century - Xu Jingjing: Firstly, identify a direction and do valuable things. Entrepreneurship is hard, persistence is cool. Valuable things must have their own business model because they are definitely useful to customers. Secondly, in the early stages, constantly search for ways to get customers to pay and polish out attractive stories. Thirdly, no matter how big the market is, it is essential to take small steps and run quickly to survive.
Yinghua Materials - Li Jian: The most important thing is cash flow. As long as the enterprise can continue to operate, there will always be opportunities and success. There are many ways and means to make good use of cash flow. This is also the most fundamental point to pay attention to.

What do you want to say after participating in the joint empowerment camp?
Sannong E-Station - Zhang Xiaochuan: In the past, I have been immersed in technology, mainly focusing on how to implement technology and solve practical problems in rural areas. This is also the reason why our development is relatively slow. But the joint empowerment camp allows me to consider things more from the perspective of business and enterprise management. Let me understand that even with core technology, excellent teams, and years of accumulated experience, rapid development may not necessarily be achieved. More importantly, it is necessary to consider the overall environment of the capital market and expand one's own advantages. It is very satisfying and happy to meet small partners at the joint empowerment camp to exchange their entrepreneurial experiences, be willing to impart their rooted experiences and technologies to each other, and reach a willingness to cooperate with some partners.

Good Yin and Mutual Benefit - Dragon Crystal Eyes: The mentor has a profound knowledge, a large pattern, and emits positive energy. After absorbing knowledge, I immediately began to think about my own project, and the graph in my mind became clearer. I have seen partners with business thinking and a sense of social responsibility working hard to solve various social problems, and I am not alone on this path.
Yinghua Materials - Li Jian: Values are very important. Most of the competitions I participated in before were based on technical background, and there was a lot of pressure for the commercial value and market prospects of the project. There were also many competitive indicators. The original intention of the joint empowerment camp is to solve social problems, which is the biggest difference from other entrepreneurial acceleration activities. In the past few days, I have felt very happy and comfortable, combining my goals with the social values I want to achieve, thinking about how to make social influence bigger and stronger, and gain economic value from it. In addition, the quality of the campers is very high, and it is a great honor to collide with them to spark a spark. We all have the passion for entrepreneurship and the ambition to solve social problems. I myself am a post-70s generation, and we gather together to discuss a common vision. There is no generation gap or obstacle when we are together with our partners from the 90s, 80s, or even 60s.

In 2020, the sudden COVID-19 swept the world. The plague once again had a huge impact on the world economy, which also made more people start to reflect. The world is calling for sustainable development because of the bitter fruit of the development model of "all consuming, all consuming". Realizing sustainable development requires the joint efforts of the government, the market, and multiple stakeholders in society. Through the selection, empowerment, and investment of exemplary projects, examples are used to illustrate the practical possibility of "promoting both justice and benefit", which not only solves social problems but also maximizes commercial value.
