The Untold Thinking and Time that Goes Into a Startup

30 second pitches?  Elevator pitches? I'm not sure where I heard it first, but the quote was "if the pitch can be given in 30 seconds, its probably not a problem worth solving."  

This is the case of Jibao, an educational startup from Taiwan that has been in the concept phase for more than 2 years.  JiBao founder, Kimble Wang, is tackling the twin issues of education in Taiwan (is it ready for 21st century) and student "engagement" - helping students find their passion.  JiBao's first product is scheduled for Spring 2014 beta release and is an on-line educational resource platform using an innovative knowledge map design that helps teacher's prep their classroom lecture and materials.
