In the field of medical technology, which is the key investment of Innovation Works, a well-known venture capital institution, “Clang Rose” occupies a very important position. During the Women’s Day on March 8, three female founders from the medical technology field reviewed their entrepreneurial journeys and applauded women in the field of technology entrepreneurship. Before starting their business, some of them were experts in the academic field, and some managers who had worked in top multinational companies for many years. Similarly, they all resolutely chose to start a business and became partners of the innovation workshop. Xiao Ruiping, founder of Heqirui Medicine, said that in 2004, she introduced the concept of “translational medicine” into China. With the in-depth implementation of the national innovation-driven development strategy, the external environment for innovative achievements to move from laboratory to clinical application is becoming more and more mature. The concept of “translational medicine” that he upholds has been put into practice, which has led to the birth of Heqirui.
As the founder of Heqirui Medicine, I work hard to push the scientific research results from the laboratory to clinical application, so for the Translational medicine has a deeper and deeper experience. This process must be a process of innovation first and then entrepreneurship. Innovation is the foundation and the process of knowing and understanding the world. Entrepreneurship is the process of turning principles into products, exploring solutions, solving problems and making products.
As for the doubts from the outside world, she feels that she doesn’t need to care too much. It is my original intention to insist on doing the right thing and bring positive influence to more people. Of course, well-intentioned suggestions should be listened to carefully, but most of the time people have to settle down. If they are not indifferent, they will not have clear ambitions, and if they are not quiet, they will not go far. It is very important to stick to their original intentions.
Xiao Ruiping said that in the process of starting a business, he felt more surprises and growth. If you always do what you are good at every day in a familiar scientific research field, it is impossible to gain new knowledge, new skills, and new horizons. Of course, the road to entrepreneurship is very difficult, and it is also necessary to embrace the spirit of “willing”, be willing to spend time, be willing to energy, and be willing to sacrifice. Especially in the past two years, the market environment has not been so optimistic. From financing to operation, from project management to team building, every small step forward requires careful consideration and steady progress.
Xiao Ruiping admits that he is very fortunate. The investors and partners he has met along the way are top-notch in the industry, giving him a lot of inspiration and entrepreneurial guidance. The team is also a first-class elite team in the industry, and everyone is working hard towards the same goal. I am fortunate to have met many good teachers and friends in the process of starting a business. I learn new knowledge every day, and constantly refresh and expand my cognition. This is the luckiest and most beneficial place.
Xiao Ruiping said that from the perspective of entrepreneurship, there is no essential difference between men and women. As long as it is something they really want to do and they are willing to work hard for it, they can achieve their goals. Execution and agency are not constrained by gender, and human requirements and standards for themselves should not be stereotyped because of “gender”. “There are many outstanding male and female practitioners in the industry and our own team. We should treat and respect each individual’s shining points equally, take people as the mirror, and learn from the communication with others. benefit yourself,” she said.
Xiao Ruiping said that from the entire industry, to investors, partners and internal teams, there are many outstanding women who have stood side by side with him, providing him with the “white paper for entrepreneurship”. Many useful experiences and opinions and guidance, I am also very grateful for their sincerity and recognition of me, and I also cherish the power of mutual appreciation and support between women.
