Depending on the amount of funding needed, there are many options available from Angel to Institutional to Incubator.  If you are in Shanghai, simply do a search on Google for startup partners and you are sure to get a lot of hits.  Attend the networking events, give out your elevator pitch and see who bites.

 

If you need only a very small amount of funding to build a prototype and you also want some expert advice on how  to run a tech business, then I suggest you look at the accelerators/incubators out there.

 

I know that there is an excellent program in Dalian that may suit your needs.  Check them out at http://www.chinaaccelerator.com/en/

 

Good luck with your ideas.

thanks you guys, yes, everybody need money. despite the independent work, or social nets, i think there has to be a system which work on it, encourage people, boast their brain, make dream come true. even tried, failed, but nothing wrong of being brave and creative, there are somehow support, inspiration from GOD, no matter where are you from.could we build up it?

You may consider saving up to build the prototype and once you have a working prototype approaching an investor. This way you'll show your own commitment to your idea and also that you are a go getter. Many people have great ideas and talk about them ad infinitum but nothing seems to come from it. As far as finance goes there are lots of investors looking to increase their profits from start ups but they all require assurances that their money will not be squandered on hair brain ideas that are all talk.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
