Innovation and technology give people the impression that a group of passionate people believe that their own ideas or technology can change the world, and keep moving forward with this belief.

However, innovation and technology is actually a kind of inheritance.

Fan Zhensheng, the founder of beNovelty, and Wang Shisong, the founder of CryptoBLK, the two entrepreneurs not only use their own technology to seek breakthroughs in the field of financial technology, but the company is also full of inheritance culture. At the same time, they have passed the inheritance attitude into their personal innovation and science spirit. .

The spirit of innovation is to pass on the ideas you love

BeNovelty was established in 2015 through the OpenAPIHub API online market developed by itself, allowing API vendors to put their APIs on the platform for enterprise subscriptions, bringing convenience comparable to e-commerce platforms.

The founder, Patrick Fan, said that the reason why the company is called Pile Kechuang is to uphold the spirit of "happy to each other, scientific research and creation.

"I hope all of our colleagues can enjoy what they are doing, and give them more meaning and carry forward."

Partick loves to play music, so he was inspired to build a unique company culture.

Patrick's work philosophy is inspired by his playful background. He regards his "like" level of music and the "team" spirit of playing music as the operating purpose of the office of Pile Tech.

He hopes that employees can enjoy their work from the bottom of their hearts, build a team that pursues a happy philosophy, and work together.

"I am a play group myself. The experience of the play group has made me realize that when everyone works together for common ideas, they will have a great resonance. The team that assists, no matter what they do, they can definitely do better than people."

beNovelty pursues a culture of maintaining a relationship between colleagues and apprentices.

There are always excellent members in the team, but many things cannot be done by a good member alone.

"The brothers and sisters in the team have different positions, from junior to manager, how can we let them cooperate to complete different tasks? It depends on mutual training." For Patrick, mutual training is a kind of inheritance.

"Our company focuses on a culture called human touch, and colleagues have different mentorship relationships." Patrick believes that when colleagues with relatively little experience or seniority first join, they may not know where they can find in the team. , So this kind of mentorship relationship helps them find their place, which is beneficial to the company and the individual in the long run.

Rely on inherited technology to meet challenges

"Inheritance is a very important culture for us." Said Wang Shisong (Duncan), founder of CryptoBLK.

CryptoBLK was established in 2017, focusing on the research and development of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and blockchain solutions, helping financial institutions and corporate alliances to establish DLT systems and applications for transactions.

Blockchain technology has become more and more mature in recent years, but the company's development must not rely on its own technology alone, but must know how to lead the entire team forward.

Team morale is an important part of CryptoBLK's work culture.

For Duncan, the morale of the team is very important, so the company has a "celebrate everything" culture, seize opportunities to cheer up colleagues.

"Every time we succeed, no matter how big or small, we celebrate it, hoping to inspire colleagues."

The predecessors of the CryptoBLK team will pass on their experience and knowledge to the younger generations.

"Inheritance" is also an important culture in the team.

The CryptoBLK team is composed of colleagues from different countries and backgrounds, and of course there are some less experienced colleagues.

At this time, the guidance of more senior colleagues becomes very important.

"We have a big brother and big sister culture. Some of our colleagues who have just graduated will actually learn some skills and knowledge from their older brothers and sisters, so going down is like a process of passing on technology and experience." When it's difficult, CryptoBLK relies on teamwork, and it is difficult to pass.

He pointed out that although Hong Kong has many financial technology talents, it is not easy to realize many ideas with limited resources.

At this time, the team's mentality can help the company.

"As a startup, it is very important to seize the opportunity and team mentality. When encountering challenges, all colleagues should have a mindset and cheer for each other, so that everyone can work and solve challenges." "People" are an important part of CryptoBLK. Element, Duncan is also very fortunate that Hong Kong has brought many talents to the company.

"Hong Kong has a very good place, that is, it can attract talents from all over the world to work. This is exactly our advantage." With excellent talents and sufficient morale, all problems can be solved.

In fact, the offices of CryptoBLK are filled with ping pong tables and dartboards, allowing employees to take time out. Whenever there is something to celebrate, they will gather and play in this space.

By consolidating team morale, passing on experience and technology, so that everyone can grow together while embracing challenges, this is Duncan's innovation and science spirit.

Since its establishment in 2017, CryptoBLK has used the Hong Kong Science Park as its development base. It and beNovelty are both incubation companies that graduated from the technology entrepreneurship incubation program Incu-Tech.

For start-ups, innovation and technology is often a difficult challenge. However, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park provides business, technical and financial support for start-ups, allowing them to overcome various difficulties.

Specifically, the incubation plan of the Science Park will designate an incubation manager to help start-ups solve problems, and provide world-class equipment, software, and even laboratory facilities.

Start-ups can also expand their interpersonal networks and consolidate their development paths through obtaining financial assistance and matching activities within the industry.
