Jeffrey Tian's Journey: From Idea to Success

Jeffrey Tian, founder and CEO of Pat Snap, shares the story of how he went from being a fresh college graduate to building a successful connected innovation intelligence platform. After interning at a startup in the US and realizing the difficulty of patent research, Jeffrey had the idea to create a software product to make the process easier. With a startup grant and a small team, he spent two years developing the product and faced challenges with stability and customer satisfaction. However, Jeffrey's persistence paid off, and he eventually signed his first customer and grew the company to employ 800 people and serve over 8,000 customers, including big names like Walt Disney and Tesla. Through this entrepreneurial journey, Jeffrey discovered the importance of self-awareness, leadership style adaptation, and the value of a strong team.
