I’m Yong (涌). I’ve spent over 20 years grinding in the trenches of industrial automation, robotics, and edge AI. I’ve programmed precision force-control loops for Stäubli in Switzerland, integrated heavy-duty robotics cells on automotive lines, and served as a humanoid robotics product leader defining next-generation platforms. Along the way, I’ve founded and exited three tech startups. If there is one thing this journey has taught me, it’s this:

Hey, everyone! I’m Yong(涌)—yep, the one with the three-dot water radical in my name if you know Chinese. Since late 2018, I’ve been grinding through five years of entrepreneurship, diving into robotics, cars, IoT, SaaS, and even an AI clothing project. Some ventures got sold, others got shelved. I founded OmniEdge in the U.S. and JIEQI Internet in China, leading teams from Australia, Canada, and Germany. It’s been exhausting but thrilling. Today, I wanna talk about a book that blew my mind—Hard Things About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz, a Silicon Valley legend. When I was deep in my startup grind, I grabbed the Chinese version of this book, but the translation bugged me, so I bought the English original on Kindle. This book doesn’t bullshit—it dives straight into the gut-wrenching challenges of entrepreneurship, and every line hits me right in the feels.

Entrepreneurial failure: Avoid a victim mentality
Published:
In the world of entrepreneurship, one undeniable truth stands tall: people are the driving force behind success and failure. Whether it is identifying a demand, transforming it into a tangible product, designing and developing it, or marketing and providing services, every step of the entrepreneurial journey relies on the capabilities, insights, and efforts of individuals. While technology and business models play vital roles, it is ultimately the human element that orchestrates the interconnectedness of these components. Let us explore this concept further through a series of examples that highlight the pivotal role of individuals in the entrepreneurial process.
