How to spend three days in Shenzhen as an investor
Three days fits context, site visits, founder and operator meetings, and a debrief.
Day 1: context and city orientation
Get oriented on Shenzhen geography, the hardware ecosystem, and which districts host which kinds of work.
Day 2: market and factory exposure
Walk Huaqiangbei and one or two suppliers or factories that match your thesis. Skip the tourist-bus factory tour.
Day 3: meetings and synthesis
Meet founders and operators, then debrief what matters and what needs further diligence.
