美西玉山理事黃君耀奔波兩灣，樂促台灣與矽谷鏈結培養新創企業

Monte Jade West Director Aaron Huang Shuttles Between Both Bays, Eager to Link Taiwan and Silicon Valley to Nurture Startups

目前是中經合集團投資合夥人的黃君耀當年以小留學生身份到美國唸完中學與大學後，在矽谷著名的投資銀行 Silicon Valley Bank (矽谷銀行) 工作，因從事亞洲業務，接觸到美西玉山，並加入由小移民、小留學生背景的年輕學子及職場新鮮人所組成的「亞美玉山」，舉辦各種歡樂活動，自籌「亞洲之旅」，經歷多年青春洋溢、共同飛揚的時光。如今亞美玉山學員們都已成家立業，成果累累，菁英輩出，許多成為了美國主流社會的要角，也有許多接棒美西玉山，擔任理事長、理事、講員、義工，黃君耀正是其中之一，他以參與亞美玉山為榮，期待回饋美西玉山，更希望鏈結台灣與金山兩灣，協助更多年輕人促進新創企業的發展。

Aaron Huang, currently an investment partner at WI Harper Group, came to the United States as a young overseas student. After finishing middle school and college here, he worked at Silicon Valley Bank, the renowned investment bank in Silicon Valley. Because his work focused on Asian business, he came into contact with Monte Jade West, and joined "Asian American Monte Jade" (MJAA), a group made up of young people and young professionals from immigrant and overseas-student backgrounds. The group held all kinds of joyful events and organized its own "Asia Trip," sharing years of youthful, high-flying times together. Today the MJAA members have all settled down and built careers, reaping rich achievements and producing a stream of elites. Many have become key figures in mainstream American society, and many have taken up the baton at Monte Jade West, serving as chairman, directors, speakers, and volunteers. Aaron Huang is one of them. He is proud to have participated in MJAA, hopes to give back to Monte Jade West, and wishes above all to link Taiwan and the two bays (Taiwan and San Francisco Bay Area), helping more young people advance the development of startups.

黃君耀是矽谷和亞洲風險投資業的資深投資專家，他在創業融資、直接投資、風險基金投資等領域都有豐富的經驗，特別是美國和亞洲的跨境交易。自 1995 年以來，黃君耀一直活躍在矽谷和亞洲的風險投資圈和創業圈，曾為數百家公司提供企業融資超過 2 億美元，直接投資了 25 家科技創業公司，超過 20 家創投基金，並在太平洋兩岸的風險投資公司、有限合夥人、創業者、企業高管和服務提供商之間建立廣泛的人脈網絡。他所投資的公司包括 Fortinet、PayPal、Marvell、PowerSet (被微軟收購)、Silicon Motion (慧榮）、SMIC (中芯國際)、TransMedia、BCDsemi、Carbonite 等著名企業。

Aaron Huang is a seasoned investment expert in the venture capital industries of Silicon Valley and Asia, with rich experience in venture financing, direct investment, and venture fund investment — particularly in cross-border deals between the U.S. and Asia. Since 1995, he has been active in the venture capital and startup circles of Silicon Valley and Asia. He has raised over US$200 million in corporate financing for hundreds of companies, directly invested in 25 technology startups and more than 20 venture funds, and built an extensive network among venture capital firms, limited partners, entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and service providers on both sides of the Pacific. Companies he has invested in include Fortinet, PayPal, Marvell, PowerSet (acquired by Microsoft), Silicon Motion, SMIC, TransMedia, BCDsemi, Carbonite, and other notable firms.

13 歲隻身闖美國

Venturing to America Alone at 13

黃君耀笑說他從小在台灣不愛唸書，13 歲就告別父母，一個人大膽到美國，來到人生地不熟的洛杉磯。他在當地的基督教長老教會協助下，住進了提供吃住的接待家庭，並在當地讀了初中。在他班上，像他這樣來自台灣的小留學生就有三十幾位，父母不在身邊，大家玩在一起，成長在一起，並不覺得孤單。高中他讀了 Las Vegas 高中，看見 Las Vegas 大旅館的華麗氣魄，非常羨慕，立志要去讀餐飲與旅館系在美國大學名列第一的內華達州立大學分校 (UNLV)。但因受到在北加州聖荷西大學任教的姨丈召喚及台灣家人的催促，他只好暫時放下夢想，來到了矽谷，進入聖荷西州立大學讀了財務。不過，這條路也走的不錯，至少今天的他沒有後悔，且愈走愈勇。

Aaron Huang laughs that he did not care for studying as a child in Taiwan. At 13, he bid farewell to his parents and boldly went to America alone, arriving in an unfamiliar Los Angeles. With the help of the local Presbyterian church, he stayed with a host family that provided room and board, and attended junior high school there. In his class there were over thirty young overseas students like him from Taiwan, with their parents far away; they played together and grew up together, so he never felt lonely. For high school he attended Las Vegas High School. Struck by the glamour and grandeur of the big Las Vegas hotels, he admired them greatly and resolved to study at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), whose hospitality and hotel management program ranked first among American universities. But summoned by his uncle-in-law, who taught at San Jose State University in Northern California, and urged by his family in Taiwan, he had to put aside his dream for the time being. He came to Silicon Valley and entered San Jose State University to study finance. That path turned out well enough — at least today he has no regrets, and he has only grown stronger along the way.

1995 年黃君耀從大學畢業後，很順利進入金融界，他的第一個工作在矽谷一個專門投資高科技的美國銀行「矽谷銀行」(Silicon Valley Bank) 工作，同時他也在海沃大學取得了 MBA 學位。1995 年是矽谷全盛時期，也是美西玉山的鼎盛時期，矽谷銀行需與華人社區聯繫，就派請黃君耀負責與華人社區的聯繫，也開始了他與美西玉山接觸的開始。

After graduating from college in 1995, Aaron Huang entered the financial world smoothly. His first job was at Silicon Valley Bank, an American bank in Silicon Valley specializing in investing in high technology; at the same time he earned an MBA from Hayward University (California State University, East Bay). 1995 was the heyday of Silicon Valley and also the peak period of Monte Jade West. Silicon Valley Bank needed to connect with the Chinese community, so it assigned Aaron Huang to handle that liaison — which also marked the beginning of his contact with Monte Jade West.

參加「亞美玉山」

Joining "Asian American Monte Jade"

當時美西玉山於 1995 年召聚了年輕學子，舉行了第一屆的亞洲之旅，將三十多位美國成長的年輕人帶到台灣參觀，之後就成立了小玉山，選出幹部，舉行自己的活動，並自己籌辦以後長達十幾屆的「亞洲之旅」活動。黃君耀參加了 1977 年第三屆的亞洲之旅活動，到台灣參觀了一星期。回美國後，他們與小玉山成員年輕的章鈞寧律師合作下，正式擬訂章程，成立了「亞美玉山」，英文簡稱為 MJAA。1998 年第四次亞洲之旅，黃君耀就是小領隊之一，照顧新一屆的成員來亞洲參訪。

Back then, in 1995, Monte Jade West gathered young students and held the first Asia Trip, taking over thirty young people raised in America to tour Taiwan. Afterward they established "Little Monte Jade," elected officers, held their own activities, and organized the more than ten subsequent "Asia Trip" programs themselves. Aaron Huang joined the third Asia Trip in 1977, touring Taiwan for a week. After returning to the U.S., working with young attorney Jimmy Chang of Little Monte Jade, they formally drafted the bylaws and established "Asian American Monte Jade," abbreviated in English as MJAA. For the fourth Asia Trip in 1998, Aaron Huang served as one of the junior trip leaders, caring for the new cohort of members visiting Asia.

「這幾屆的亞美玉山都交成一輩子的朋友了。」黃君耀說，年紀漸長的他們紛紛各自成家立業，但感情仍濃的化不開，成立一個 MJ Society，大家不定期聚會，甚至一起創業、一起活動，互相支援。後來第一屆亞美玉山的曲鎮宇成為美西玉山的理事及理事長，章鈞寧成為美西玉山及全球玉山的法務顧問，黃君耀本人也於 2014 年成為美西玉山現任理事。

"All of us in those MJAA cohorts have become lifelong friends," says Aaron Huang. As they grew older, they each married and built careers, yet their bonds remained deep and inseparable. They founded an MJ Society, gathering from time to time, even starting businesses and holding activities together, supporting one another. Later, Scott Chu of the first MJAA cohort became a director and chairman of Monte Jade West; Jimmy Chang became the legal counsel for Monte Jade West and Global Monte Jade; and Aaron Huang himself became a current director of Monte Jade West in 2014.

黃君耀很樂意回餽玉山，他還介紹了多位朋友進入理事會服務，包括 CoinX Inc. 的創辦人黃梓洋，以及 TransLink Capital 的楊榮恭。黃君耀也介紹亞美玉山的成員成為美西玉山論壇的講員。譬如美西玉山十月「田長霖講座」的講員 Genia Technologies 的技術長陳正哲就是亞美玉山的成員之一，陳正哲 (Roger Chen) 的生技技術被國際大藥廠 Roche 以三億五千萬美元收購，他的創業故事也可以算是矽谷傳奇的又一章。

Aaron Huang is glad to give back to Monte Jade. He has introduced several friends to serve on the board, including T.C. Huang, founder of CoinX Inc., and Jason Yang of TransLink Capital. He has also introduced MJAA members to serve as speakers at Monte Jade West forums. For example, the speaker at Monte Jade West's October "Chang-Lin Tien Lecture," Roger Chen — CTO of Genia Technologies — is one of the MJAA members. Roger Chen's biotech technology was acquired by the international pharmaceutical giant Roche for US$350 million, and his startup story counts as yet another chapter in the Silicon Valley legend.

亞美玉山從 1995 年迄今，有好幾百人了，人才濟濟，精英輩出。黃君耀說還有一位 Michelle Lee 當年參加亞美玉山時是社會的新鮮人，後來做了 Google 的法務長，負責所有 Google 專利的申請，她現在剛被歐巴馬總統指派為 US Patent & Trade"">

From 1995 to the present, MJAA has grown to several hundred members — a pool of talent from which elites have continuously emerged. Aaron Huang mentions that Michelle Lee, when she joined MJAA, was a young newcomer to the working world; she later became Google's general counsel, responsible for the filing of all Google patents, and has just been appointed by President Obama as ... [US Patent and Trademark Office Director].

這十年來，也許是因為台灣的大、小留學生逐漸減少，台灣創業家在矽谷逐漸減少，在矽谷的影響力下降，是很令人惋惜的事。台灣當局有見於此，努力推動創新創業，要與矽谷鏈接，今年在矽谷成立了「台灣創新創業中心」，並提供資金要來協助台灣年輕創業人與矽谷鏈接。黃君耀很贊成這樣的做法，希為今後兩灣人才、市場、資金的鏈接發揮最大的果效。

Over the past decade, perhaps because the number of Taiwan's older and younger overseas students has gradually declined, Taiwanese entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley have also dwindled, and their influence there has waned — a genuinely regrettable development. Seeing this, the Taiwanese authorities have worked hard to promote innovation and entrepreneurship and to link up with Silicon Valley. This year they established the "Taiwan Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center" in Silicon Valley, providing funds to help young Taiwanese entrepreneurs connect with Silicon Valley. Aaron Huang strongly supports this approach and hopes it will achieve maximum effect in linking talent, markets, and capital across the two bays in the years ahead.

從事風險投資

A Career in Venture Capital

再回到黃君耀自己的人生軌道，他在矽谷銀行十年 (1995-2005)。矽谷銀行不是普通銀行，乃是一個專門投資高科技的銀行，是介於傳統銀行與風險投資之間的銀行，該銀行在美國高科技公司的市場佔有率達 50%，是業界的龍頭。這個銀行從矽谷開始，又推廣到亞洲，包括去中國、去印度、去倫敦設分行。身為「矽谷銀行國際投資部門總監」的黃君耀，經常代表矽谷銀行來亞洲開拓業務，台灣因為市場太小，矽谷銀行沒有在此設立分行，但黃君耀與台灣的創投界很熟，因為大家合作集體投資，相輔相成，既是競爭對手，也是合作夥伴。矽谷銀行除了自己派員投資，也把錢交給創投來投資，他們在全世界投資了五百多家創投基金。

Let me return to Aaron Huang's own career path. He spent ten years at Silicon Valley Bank (1995–2005). Silicon Valley Bank was no ordinary bank; it was a bank specializing in investing in high technology, sitting somewhere between a traditional bank and a venture capital firm. It held a market share of about 50% among American high-tech companies and was the industry leader. Starting in Silicon Valley, the bank expanded into Asia, opening branches in China, India, and London. As "Director of Silicon Valley Bank's International Investment Division," Aaron Huang often represented the bank in expanding its business in Asia. Because Taiwan's market was too small, Silicon Valley Bank did not set up a branch there, but Aaron Huang knew the Taiwanese venture capital community well, since they cooperated in collective investments, complementing each other — both competitors and partners. Besides investing directly, Silicon Valley Bank also entrusted money to venture capital firms to invest; in total it invested in more than five hundred venture funds worldwide.

職場小有成就的黃君耀又想回到從小的夢想─餐飲業，他佩服鼎泰豐的品牌與理念，希望拿下鼎泰豐在矽谷的代理權，但經過兩年 (2005-2007) 的磨合，太多細節與要求，黃君耀沒把代理權拿下來，只好放棄。事情沒談成，他於 2007 年再回到本業，加入了舊金山聯合商業銀行 (前身是廣東銀行)，為該銀行成立高科技風險融資部門。由於矽谷銀行模式的成功，許多傳統銀行也想投資高風險的高科技公司，因此到矽谷銀行挖角了不少人。黃君耀與團隊就這樣來到了聯合商業銀行。但真不巧，他們剛去聯合商業銀行不久，2008 年就發生了金融海嘯事件。兩年之內，美國平均每年有二百多家的銀行倒閉，風聲鶴唳，華爾街裁員、房地產一蹶不振，聯合商業銀行也在 2010 年宣告倒閉，黃君耀所負責的高科技風險融資部門做的雖好，也被其他部門拖累。後來聯合商業銀行被美國政府接收，併入了華美銀行。

Having achieved modest success in his career, Aaron Huang again turned to his childhood dream — the food and beverage industry. He admired Din Tai Fung's brand and philosophy and hoped to win the franchise rights for Din Tai Fung in Silicon Valley. But after two years (2005–2007) of negotiation, with too many details and demands involved, he failed to secure the franchise and had to give it up. When the deal fell through, he returned to his own field in 2007, joining San Francisco's United Commercial Bank (formerly the Bank of Canton) to establish its high-tech venture financing division. Because of Silicon Valley Bank's success model, many traditional banks also wanted to invest in high-risk high-tech companies and poached a number of people from Silicon Valley Bank. That was how Aaron Huang and his team came to United Commercial Bank. But unfortunately, not long after they arrived, the 2008 financial crisis hit. Within two years, an average of more than two hundred banks were failing each year in the U.S.; panic spread, Wall Street laid people off, real estate collapsed, and United Commercial Bank declared bankruptcy in 2010. Although the high-tech venture financing division Aaron Huang led was doing well, it was dragged down by other departments. United Commercial Bank was later taken over by the U.S. government and merged into East West Bank.

在一片混亂中，銀行界又是一陣挖角風，2010 年黃君耀來到了一家風險融資基金公司 (NXT Financial)。NXT Financial 總部在芝加哥，資產有五十億美金，亦想在矽谷成立高科技融資部門，經由獵人頭公司找到了深備經驗、小有名氣的黃君耀。從 1995 年迄今已廿年，黃君耀已從當初青澀的社會新鮮人，現在是經驗豐富、行事幹練的專業經理，評估融資一個高科技公司，應借多久？借多少？什麼條件？正是他的專長。

Amid the chaos, another wave of poaching swept the banking industry, and in 2010 Aaron Huang joined a venture financing fund company, NXT Financial. Headquartered in Chicago with US$5 billion in assets, NXT Financial also wanted to establish a high-tech financing division in Silicon Valley; through a headhunter it found Aaron Huang, who was well experienced and fairly well known. It has been twenty years since 1995; Aaron Huang has grown from a green newcomer to a seasoned, capable professional manager. Assessing how long to lend to a high-tech company, how much to lend, and on what terms — that is exactly his specialty.

但在 NXT Financial 沒多久，2012 年，黃君耀在朋友邀請下加入了由劉宇環先生所創辦的中經合集團擔任投資合夥人。劉宇環是縱橫兩岸的重量級創投高手，當年也是玉山科技協會的創始人之一。中經合集團在美國舊金山、台北、北京均設有辦公室，近廿年來已投資超過了三百家創業公司，其中有八十多家已經上市或併購。現在黃君耀加入，負責投資，尋找投資標的，進行篩選，並進行投資後續的管理。他盛讚中經合集團，多年努力卓有績效，目前正在進行第八期基金的募資，目標是一億五千萬元。為響應行政院扶植創新創業團隊所設的台灣矽谷科技基金，黃君耀正代表中經合集團與國發基金以及科技部洽談，希望在未來能一起來扶持創新創業團隊。

But Aaron Huang did not stay long at NXT Financial. In 2012, at a friend's invitation, he joined WI Harper Group, founded by Mr. Peter Liu, as an investment partner. Peter Liu is a heavyweight venture capitalist who moves deftly across the two sides of the strait and was one of the original founders of the Monte Jade Science and Technology Association. WI Harper Group has offices in San Francisco, Taipei, and Beijing; over the past two decades it has invested in more than three hundred startups, of which over eighty have gone public or been acquired. Now Aaron Huang has joined to handle investing — finding investment targets, screening them, and managing post-investment follow-up. He speaks highly of WI Harper Group, which has achieved outstanding results through years of effort; it is currently raising its eighth fund, with a target of US$150 million. In response to the Taiwan Silicon Valley Technology Fund established by the Executive Yuan to foster innovative startup teams, Aaron Huang is representing WI Harper Group in talks with the National Development Fund and the Ministry of Science and Technology, hoping that together they can support innovative startup teams in the future.

服務美西玉山期待鏈結兩灣

Serving Monte Jade West, Hoping to Link the Two Bays

黃君耀是在 2014 年由前任理事長陳勁初邀請加入美西玉山為理事。就在 2015 年九月美西玉山 25 週年年會，三位從事創投的理事黃君耀、黃梓洋、楊榮恭聯合籌辦了一個成功的鯊魚缸 (Shark Tank) 論壇，非常轟動。Shark Tank 是指在魚缸中的鯊魚，創業者求生之艱難如同面臨鯊魚隨時會一口吃掉的困境。他們找了一些創業公司在現場做簡介，並由投資人來聆聽，給予評論，彼此攻防，有問有答，台上台下的人均覺得相當有興趣。希每季辦一次，所以特別於 2015 年 12 月 9 日由黃梓洋理事代表美西玉山，與矽谷美華科技商會聯合主辦了一場「第一屆台灣和矽谷新創公司實況連線路演日」(PI x Taipei Demo Day)，並連線到台灣，各方熱烈響應，加入的共同主辦單位包括華美半導體協會、北美洲台灣商會聯合總會、北加州台灣工商會、北美台灣工程師協會、矽谷台美產業科技協會、CBA 等等。他們希望建立一個常態性的台灣 Demo Day，以增加台灣相關團隊到矽谷募資及找尋策略合作夥伴的機會。

Aaron Huang was invited to join Monte Jade West as a director in 2014 by former chairman James Chen. At the September 2015 25th-anniversary annual meeting of Monte Jade West, the three venture-capitalist directors Aaron Huang, T.C. Huang, and Jason Yang jointly organized a successful "Shark Tank" forum that caused quite a stir. "Shark Tank" evokes sharks in a fish tank — entrepreneurs struggling to survive as if facing sharks ready to swallow them at any moment. They invited some startup companies to present on the spot, with investors listening, giving comments, and engaging in give-and-take, question-and-answer exchanges; both the people on stage and those in the audience found it highly interesting. They hoped to hold it quarterly, so especially on December 9, 2015, Director T.C. Huang, on behalf of Monte Jade West, co-hosted with the Silicon Valley Chinese American Technology & Commerce Association the "First Taiwan and Silicon Valley Startup Live-Link Roadshow Day" (PI x Taipei Demo Day), connecting live to Taiwan. It drew enthusiastic responses from all sides; co-organizers included the Chinese American Semiconductor Professionals Association, the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America, the Taiwan Business Association of Northern California, the North American Taiwanese Engineers' Association, the Silicon Valley Taiwanese American Industry and Technology Association, CBA, and others. They hope to establish a regular Taiwan Demo Day to increase opportunities for Taiwan-related teams to raise funds in Silicon Valley and find strategic partners.

黃君耀認為以前的亞美玉山會員逐漸成長，他們幾位從亞美玉山出身的理事希望亞美玉山的朋友不要走散了，希望漸漸融入大玉山。「為何今日的美西玉山不復當年盛況？」這是黃君耀一直在思考的問題。他認為玉山應是以台灣為主的企業家組織，這個協會應與台灣、與亞洲有更多的聯繫，若找的理事對台灣沒有認同，只是在地辦自己的活動，爭取美國主流的認同、爭取在當地大公司的進階，那與當地千百個社團組織有何分別呢？所以他認為一定要再找回玉山當初成立時的核心價值觀，找回心向台灣的向心力。2015 年會，他們請到了高雄日月光營運長吳田玉博士演講及台灣歌星倪安東的演唱，這次年會看見人潮又回來了，一票難求，讓他們體會台灣向心力這一點很重要，他們將會打鐵趁熱，籌辦下一個年會，並將在今後多辦好的活動，請到對的講員，再創下一個廿五年的玉山風華。「畢竟，玉山這個平台在前面廿五年已為許多人帶來了人脈、資源與商機。我們要好好保持並發揚光大。」黃君耀說。

Aaron Huang notes that the old MJAA members have gradually grown and matured. Several directors who came out of MJAA hope that their MJAA friends will not drift apart, and that they will gradually merge into the larger Monte Jade. "Why is today's Monte Jade West not as flourishing as it once was?" This is a question Aaron Huang has kept pondering. He believes Monte Jade should be an entrepreneurs' organization centered on Taiwan, and the association should have more ties with Taiwan and Asia. If the directors selected have no identification with Taiwan, and merely hold their own events locally, seeking recognition from the American mainstream and advancement within big local companies — how would that differ from the hundreds of other local community organizations? So he believes it is essential to rediscover the core values with which Monte Jade was originally founded, and to regain the centripetal pull of hearts turned toward Taiwan. For the 2015 annual meeting, they invited Dr. Tien-Yu Wu, COO of ASE in Kaohsiung, to give a speech, and Taiwanese singer Anthony Neely to perform. At that meeting they saw the crowds return and tickets sell out, and they came to appreciate how important the centripetal pull of Taiwan really is. They will strike while the iron is hot, organize the next annual meeting, and in the years ahead hold more good events and invite the right speakers to create the next twenty-five years of Monte Jade splendor. "After all, over the past twenty-five years this Monte Jade platform has brought many people connections, resources, and business opportunities. We must preserve it well and carry it forward," says Aaron Huang.

在矽谷廿年了，「全球最厲害的人在矽谷，」黃君耀以一個專業創投的角度說。矽谷有非常有養份的創業環境、有不怕失敗重新再來的文化、有豐富的資源與各方的聯結。「台灣也有許多優勢，台灣仍有許多機會與人才，」經常跑亞洲的黃君耀看見了兩邊的優勢，他想做的事就是聯結兩邊資源，讓創業有需要的人得到幫助。矽谷與他有一樣想法的人很多，譬如有一個 Connecting Taiwan 的組織，就是由台灣來矽谷工作的中、高階主管所組織起來的，他們把專長無私奉獻台灣年輕人，若有人想瞭解創業的過程，他們很樂於分享。在台灣，黃君耀也看見行政院、經濟部、科技部、工研院、資策會也正在做同樣的事，均想幫助年輕創業家。他希望在兩邊的努力下，他及有心人能成為橋樑，把兩邊年輕的創業家培養起來，共同為創建下一代的產業發展而努力。

After twenty years in Silicon Valley, "the most capable people in the world are in Silicon Valley," says Aaron Huang from the perspective of a professional venture capitalist. Silicon Valley has an extremely nourishing startup environment, a culture that does not fear failure and starts over again, and abundant resources and connections on all sides. "Taiwan also has many advantages — Taiwan still has many opportunities and talents," says Aaron Huang, who frequently travels to Asia and has seen the strengths of both sides. What he wants to do is to link the resources of both sides, so that those in need of help with their startups can get it. There are many people in Silicon Valley who share his view. For example, there is an organization called Connecting Taiwan, made up of mid- and senior-level executives from Taiwan working in Silicon Valley; they selflessly dedicate their expertise to young people in Taiwan, and if anyone wants to understand the startup process, they are glad to share. In Taiwan, Aaron Huang also sees the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Science and Technology, ITRI, and III doing the same thing — all wanting to help young entrepreneurs. He hopes that with efforts on both sides, he and like-minded people can serve as a bridge, nurturing young entrepreneurs from both sides and working together to build the next generation of industry.
