My Entrepreneurship Story
The AIVA Growth Journey
At 14, I Took My First Step into Entrepreneurship
This is the origin story of how I started building AIVA. The article was published on investor Dong Kehan's WeChat public account, where it received 100,000+ views—and it became the first moment many people discovered me and AIVA.
From Tech Obsession to Value Awakening—and a Complete Product Rebuild
I moved from being fascinated by technology itself to truly understanding users and value. By rethinking what the product should mean, I completely reshaped AIVA's direction and core.
That 1,000+ RMB Internal-Test Bill Was the Best Business Lesson I Got at 14
A single bill of over 1,000 RMB made me feel—viscerally—how cost, market realities, and survival logic actually work. It became one of the most unforgettable business lessons on my startup journey.
Missing the Wave, but Still Choosing to Launch
I launched anyway to give my first startup project a complete ending: releasing it officially, collecting real user feedback, and doing the most objective retrospective possible—closing the loop on growth.
