科技公司产品停滞、创始人魅力透支，大厂尽调后弃投 据知情人士透露，某知名创业者的项目产品卡住了，迭代升级遇到了瓶颈。前几轮融资主要靠创始人的个 人信用和魅力，几轮下来已经透支了，人设也已经卖到顶。个人品牌可以拉来投资，但最终还是要落在产 品上，给了两三亿估值但产品迟迟没研发出来，下一轮投资就没人愿意买单。 为了维持项目发展，创始人选择收购其它项目，把IP、资产全塞进来，看上去是在扩大规模，但这种玩法 被资方看得透透的，不会轻易被忽悠。某头部互联网企业在尽调之后也选择了放弃。据了解，该企业的投 资逻辑极为务实，"只看数据，不吃故事"，不会为创始人光环或宏大叙事买单，这与愿意押注"下一个明星 创始人"的企业完全是不一样的投资逻辑。（更多明星项目信息和细节可添加微信 ydinitialheart 交流。） 某大厂eBike部门面临危机，员工流失殆尽 某大厂eBike部门正面临团队危机。本来这个品类就没那么好做，又是创始人的个人兴趣驱动成立的，没 有太大的业务指标。创始人选了一个比较年轻的人来当一号位，但因为管不住下面的人被降级了，团队也 陷入群龙无首的状态。 今年4月份该部门又走了一批核心员工，其中不乏部分自主创业 ...
