Naughty in early years
Yu Jiawen was born in an ordinary family in Chaoshan, Guangdong Province in 1990. In 2004, at the age of 14, he started to do business. In 2007, Yu Jiawen, a senior one in Raoping No.2 Middle School, began to teach himself programming and started a social networking site for senior high school students. The website made a profit in 2008, earning the first million in life.
In 2009, Yu Jiawen sold the website. He felt that the website earned a small amount of money, not a big cause. When he went to college in Guangzhou, he must have found something different.
Yu Jiawen is not a good boy in the traditional sense. He doesn’t like reading. He often talks back to his teacher and quarrels with his parents. Of the nine courses in high school, only mathematics and physics are his favorites. Because of these performances, at that time, everyone was not optimistic that Yu Jiawen could enter the university. As a result, Yu Jiawen was admitted to the undergraduate Guangzhou University. At that time, the parents who sold pork were also happy that his son Yu Jiawen was admitted to the university.
University entrepreneurship
In 2009, Yu Jiawen entered South China Institute of Software Engineering of Guangzhou University and started his college career.
In 2011, college life in Yu Jiawen continued, with 30 classes a week. I could hardly remember the schedule and often forgot where to have classes. I found beautiful girls in class, and I didn’t dare to ask for contact information. These small daily troubles inspired Yu Jiawen to start a business. He brought in a few friends and formed an entrepreneurial team of eight people, all of whom were college students. In the second half of 2011, the software "Super Curriculum" was developed. However, due to the rough design, single function and "petty" of the course software "Super Curriculum", the development team’s "Yu Jiawen" was ridiculed in South China Institute of Software Engineering, Guangzhou University. When Yu Jiawen confidently launched the super curriculum, he was no longer favored by the teacher. The teacher felt that the super curriculum had no technical content, and only children could play it. Yu Jiawen could not accept the belittling of others.
The idea of super curriculum comes from a group of active young people, including Yu Jiawen. "xtu one" is the development team of the early super curriculum. Before the birth of the super curriculum, the team also developed an email client. "At that time, this product was favored by the school teachers, but after a period of operation, it was found that it could not achieve the expected results, so it was resold.
In 2012, he set up his own company — — Guangzhou Super Weekend Technology Co., Ltd., in August of the same year, Yu Jiawen got the first angel investment, and in October of the same year, it promoted its products to Guangzhou, and in January of 13, it got the second angel investment. It is rumored that Zhou Hongyi, the chairman of 360, was an early angel investor in the super curriculum.
Draw in investment
In May 2013, Yu Jiawen participated in Southeast TV’s entrepreneurial reality show "Only if you fight hard can you win", with the goal of raising 3 million US dollars. He teased the host Li Yong at the recording site and was praised as "smart" by his mentors, and finally joined the entrepreneurial mentor Xue Manzi’s team.
In June, 2013, the "Fight Only to Win" Breakthrough Competition entered into one in five. After questioning Yang Zongfu’s Weibo’s marketing cheating and Gong Haiyan’s generosity, Yu Jiawen was successfully selected as the first top five in China and signed a letter of intent for investment with Xue Manzi. On June 4th, Yu Jiawen revealed that they had just received a series A investment with a value of 10 million yuan led by the top domestic companies. At this time, the super curriculum has integrated the curriculum information of nearly 2,000 universities in China, and its users have exceeded 2 million.
In July 2013, I graduated from Yu Jiawen University. In October, he received a series A investment of 10 million yuan from Ceyuan and Zhenge. In the same month, the Super Curriculum launched an English learning module, which was provided by third-party organizations such as Hujiang English and Kingsoft.
As of November, 2014, Yu Jiawen team has successfully obtained four rounds of financing, and the latest round of financing alone has received tens of millions of dollars of investment. The company’s campus application named Super Curriculum has covered 3,000 universities across the country, with more than 10 million registered users and an average daily login of more than 2 million users.
Personal life
Join a club
When he was a freshman, Yu Jiawen, like most students, signed up for a club and eventually entered the technical department of the student union. "The usual job is to provide technical support and maintenance for the website." However, as far as Yu Jiawen, who taught himself coding in high school, was concerned, such a student union work was "very watery" and he could not learn more knowledge.
Move out of the dormitory
I don’t like classes, don’t want to mix clubs well, and have nothing in common with the "schoolmasters" in the dormitory. After consulting with my good friend Ye Changrun, Yu Jiawen decided to move out and live a life he likes. "For me, time is very valuable, and I don’t want to waste my university on meaningless things. Moreover, not loving classes and not reading books often does not mean that I don’t love learning. " Yu Jiawen said.
Love reading the Book of Changes.
Yu Jiawen never has a purpose in his study. When he meets a book he likes, he turns it over. He doesn’t specify when he wants to finish it. Books that he is not interested in or doesn’t understand are directly passed away. In addition to the program book, he often reads the Book of Changes. "I can tell the sixty-four hexagrams over and over again, and the &lsquo in the Book of Changes; Two in one ’ Tell us that everything should not be too absolute, which is conducive to many decisions in my life. "
Love dressing up
Yu Jiawen said that he is a "wonderful flower" and has a mature mind. He can talk shrewdly about investment cooperation with his partners and determine the direction of the company without any doubt. At the same time, like a little boy, he likes cute dolls. Before going out, he will deliberately spend 2 hours dressing himself up and then wear a picture frame to go out beautifully.
