In stark contrast, Chinaβs startup culture is the yin to Silicon Valleyβs yang: instead of being mission-driven, Chinese companies are first and foremost market-driven. Their ultimate goal is to make money, and theyβre willing to create any product, adopt any model, or go into any business that will accomplish that objective. That mentality leads to incredible flexibility in business models and execution, a perfect distillation of the βlean startupβ model often praised in Silicon Valley. It doesnβt matter where an idea came from or who came up with it. All that matters is whether you can execute it to make a financial profit. The core motivation for Chinaβs market-driven entrepreneurs is not fame, glory, or changing the world. Those things are all nice side benefits, but the grand prize is getting rich, and it doesnβt matter how you get there.

Throw in the valleyβs rich history of computer science breakthroughs, and youβve set the stage for the geeky-hippie hybrid ideology that has long defined Silicon Valley. Central to that ideology is a wide-eyed techno-optimism, a belief that every person and company can truly change the world through innovative thinking. Copying ideas or product features is frowned upon as a betrayal of the zeitgeist and an act that is beneath the moral code of a true entrepreneur. Itβs all about βpureβ innovation, creating a totally original product that generates what Steve Jobs called a βdent in the universe.β Startups that grow up in this kind of environment tend to be mission-driven. They start with a novel idea or idealistic goal, and they build a company around that. Company mission statements are clean and lofty, detached from earthly concerns or financial motivations.
