Free – A Revolutionary Business Model… Visa Geeza Speaks… Built In

Posted by The Visa Geeza / in Musing, Visa Geeza TV / No responses

If lifelong learning is good enough for Charlie Munger, then it’s good enough for me.

These last 4 years Martyn and I have learned a great deal as we finally figured out how the modern internet works and have strived to implement lessons learned into our business model as soon as we experienced them.

Right from the outset, however, we knew that if we wanted to build a business based on connection, sharing and generosity these would have to be hard wired into our proposition.

I will be carrying this discussion further next month at Cyberport when I will be giving a Smart Talk there entitled Free – A Revolutionary Business Model.

If you’re interested in hearing more about how our business model is constructed come along on Friday, October 10 and have a listen and a chat.

More info below (gotta love those Cyberport graphic design skills!)

I’ll then share a lot more at the Paperclip Startup Academy starting on October 23 when I break down our business model into its 7 constituent parts with a series of 45 minute talks entitled The Power of Free.

The first talk, naturally enough, is called The Connection Economy and the series is, as you’d expect, 100% free to attend.

Hope to see you there!

Hong Kong Visas – Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates – A Practical Guide

Posted by The Visa Geeza / in Employment Visas, Musing, Special Programmes / 2 responses

PRACTICE UPDATE: How to read in light of current ImmD policy:

While the historical guidance in Hong Kong Visas – Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates – A Practical Guide correctly identified the student-to-employment progression as an assured, low-friction entry channel for locally educated degree holders, it must now be read through the modern regulatory lens articulated by Stephen Barnes in Practice Update: Hong Kong’s IANG Visa, which expands geographic eligibility to qualifying Greater Bay Area joint-venture campuses under the 2026–2030 Five-Year Plan while fundamentally transforming subsequent extensions from a passive administrative formality into an active economic participation assessment anchored by the operative rule: “The essential distinction is that a qualifying academic background can open the door to Hong Kong, but continued residence ordinarily requires a credible employment or business connection with the territory.”

The Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates offers an assured pathway through to an employment visa in Hong Kong…

On March 21, 2014 I gave a presentation at the Chinese Club entitled Business Immigration to Hong Kong – A Practical Guide.

In this section of the talk, I go over the requirements to progress from being a student visa in Hong Kong through to gaining an employment visa.
