Dear Shanghai StartupDigest Readers, My apology for holding a backlog of replying to some of your emails for the past week and I promise to get back to you the first thing in the morning.

Thanks to all of your support, we just had a great one year anniversary for People Squared with our partner Tech2IPO Startup Engine at our new Demo Center. We had more than 250 attendees join us for our celebration today and 8 teams, including 2 teams from Startup Weekend, 1 team from ChinaStars, made their project demos in front of our investors and audience. During the event, People Squared announced its new Demo Center. The starups in Shanghai will have a new place for hosting their great events. In the next few months, the Demo Center will bring you 5 exciting events for its test run. If your event is non-commercial, tech/startup related and completely free to the participants, talk to us and we may be able to help you on setting up your event for the community.

If you’d like to share any exciting news or events with us, please send an email to me [at] bob.zheng@thestartupdigest.com or Calvin [at] calvin@thestartupdigest.com.

Cheers,
Bob & Calvin
