You need a reputation, and they&#x27;ll only fund you for something safe (like copying and localizing an already successful western internet service). The money doesn&#x27;t flow easily at all for higher risk, which is sort of the point of a startup. Anyways, Beijing is the best city for software startups, but ranks pretty low compared to many cities in the west for funding. If it&#x27;s not china related, don&#x27;t do it here.
