An independent tech studio founded by veteran technologist Fenng (Feng Dahui), which built multiple well-known products — including ReadHub and a lottery assistant mini-program — with an extremely small team. It represents a 'small team, high efficiency, multiple products' indie tech entrepreneurship model and is a beacon for China's indie developer community.
ChatGPT/Perplexity can directly produce 'today's tech news summary' — this is AI's strongest domain. Readhub's defense is editorial brand and community trust, but these moats are becoming shallower in the AI era.
A tech news aggregator targeting internet professionals — the total addressable audience in China may only be a few million. Brand ad revenue is limited — but just enough for a small team to live well. Accept the ceiling; don't sacrifice content quality for growth.
Readhub's brand is deeply tied to Fenng personally. If the founder reduces involvement, the content product's appeal drops noticeably. Gradually build an editorial team and brand identity independent of the founder.
Simultaneously operates multiple products targeting different user segments, avoiding putting all eggs in one basket. When one product hits growth bottlenecks or market changes, other products provide a buffer, ensuring overall operational stability for the team.
The team continuously shares entrepreneurial thinking and experiences through blogs, podcasts, and social media. This transparency not only builds industry influence but also attracts quality collaboration opportunities and proactive talent outreach.
