Combining with the analytics of the efficient market hypothesis, Dr. Xia reiterated the importance of the three winning factors for investing in unicorns: the right timing, the right product positioning, and the right team. He utilized the analogy between the market investment low high trading principles and the three winning factors: entering at the lowest point and exiting at the highest point for the timing, better product positioning with less competition, and fewer quick money seekers among the founder teams. Dr. Xia estimated that with bubbles busted and fewer hypes among startups, it is a better timing to start the business, giving the examples of Zoom, Airbnb and Uber.
