Kandongsee: A start up opportunity
The company will be in the form of a website. It's aimed at Chinese
students looking to go abroad and offers a new source of information
and a service radically different from the mass of Chinese agents
who currently dominate the market. We're seeking in the long term to
become the voice on all things related to a Western education and
I'm happy to say that I think I have a strong team in place as well
as funding that will give us a good shot at that. It's a new idea
and an area of the market that no other Westerners have tried to
tackle so the potential is high as we would be a completely new
entity in the market. We started work in April 2013 and have secured
angel investment.
Our website will initially have four key services. We have completed
all the content required for launch (~400 000 words) and have made
serious inroads in app development (and some work on website
development).
1. Experience content explaining what the academics and culture of
our initial four countries (USA, UK, AUS, CAN) is like to experience
and their key differences so users can understand before they make a
decision, or just for info. Both for undergraduate and postgraduate.
2. An app where you answer a few questions about yourself and what
you want and it recommends you a country where you are best suited
and tells you why
3. Practical content introducing a huge amount of content about
practical things students may to need to know about the different
countries: application, visa application, bank accounts, SIM cards,
transport, costs (the list is long and the info very
comprehensive!)4. A blog putting out daily articles about
fun/interesting things about culture/student culture/comparisons
between the four different countries directed towards a Chinese
base.
The entire website is in both Chinese and English.
