Ehsan's Market Analysis
Shanghai is an underrated market for fintech market. While most attention goes to Silicon Valley, Shanghai's 4,000+ startups are building companies adapted to local market dynamics. The $55K average salary creates interesting unit economics for bootstrapped and capital-efficient companies. My recommendation: start with a niche, own it, then expand.
