The structure of Idealab allowed us to test many ideas at once and turn the best of them into companies, attracting the human and financial capital necessary to bring them to market.

We can not 100% confirm if the rumor is true. But reads from a couple of reports which wrote that Kaifu Lee used to mentioned in different occasions, he really wanted to help Chinese young people, explore their talent, identify brilliant ideas and guide the young entrepreneurs to make their dream come true. “I wants to follow my heart”, Mr. Lee said.

No matter if the news is true or not, for sure Mr. Lee’s next venture will be very exciting news for Chinese young entrepreneurs.

Kai-Fu Lee (traditional Chinese: 李開復; simplified Chinese: 李开复; pinyin: Lǐ Kāifù; born December 3, 1961) is an information technology executive and a computer science researcher. The founding president of Google China, he was hired in July, 2005 and resigned on 4 September, 2009. He became the focus of a 2005 legal dispute between Google and Microsoft, his former employer, due to a one-year non-compete agreement that he signed with Microsoft in 2000 when he became its corporate vice president of interactive services.

Kaifu Lee is my dream person. As his fan, i resigned from the company to follow my heart as well.
