Shanghai Soup is a non-profit, networking event that provides funding for small projects in Shanghai. Each event brings a pot of soup, which each diner contributes 50rmb for. Four local projects present to the audience and have four minutes to share their idea and answer four questions. At the end, diners can vote on which project is granted the soup money (50rmb gets you entrance, soup and a vote). Read more about Shanghai Soup here.
