As Chinaccelerator breaks onto the Shanghai scene to continue domination of the technology startup world in China, it was time to re-visit what we do, why we're so special, and who's involved. Learn how to "startup like a boss", "do more faster", and make a value-producing, investable, scalable company that will stand the test of time (Hint: it's about having the right 'entrephilosophy')

And we’re the best. Why?
