Founded in 2015, Tsinghua SEM X-elerator is a startup acceleration platform for global entrepreneurs and start-ups, which is affiliated with Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management. Revolving around the entrepreneurial ecosystem, we are composed of a 3-in-1 model of “Co-working Spaces, Mentorship, and Investment.” Tsinghua SEM X-elerator brings together elite global entrepreneurs and empowers them with entrepreneurship acceleration “from 1 to N.” With headquarters in Beijing’s Tech Center Z-Park, a second location in Shenzhen, and planned expansion to cities including Hangzhou and Guiyang, X-elevator is able to reach entrepreneurial minds far beyond Tsinghua’s campus. We provide select entrepreneurs a free co-working space in the first 3 months, along with a number of services, such as policy, marketing, and business model consulting, an intensive mentorship program, and community events. For mentors, we have professors from Tsinghua and experts from relevant industries. Our partnerships with established companies help our start-up teams with technology development, which help our start-ups with prototyping and material safety testing. We connect our entrepreneurs with active investors through office hours and demo days. In the past 3 years, we have accelerated more than 300 startups from 11 batches, which have raised tens of millions of dollars so far. In addition to our domestic programs, we are also expanding our global reach. On September 25th, 2018, we officially launched our Southeast Asia Unicorn Program, which is a collaboration between X-elerator and ATM Capital. We launched the program with an international demo day event and start-up sharing sessions in Jakarta, Indonesia. The goal of the program is to discover and shape the future tech giants in Southeast Asia, thus redefining the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region. Through intensive courses, workshops, and networking in the two booming markets, elite entrepreneurs from both China and Southeast Asia will build rapport, trust, and mutual understanding, paving the way for future cross-border partnerships.
