- TSM allows me to gain an insights to how technology company operates beyond the Singapore borders.
- The context and challenges they faced are different and I am interested to understand how they tackle their problems. This is especially so for startups who are financially tight, they would have to have creative workarounds which I am interested to hear about!
- Why pick New York City?
- Being the financial hub of the world, it has a lot to offer.
- With a thriving FINTECH-startup scenes and a slew of established international finance companies headquartered in New York, I felt it will be a great place to learn more finance-related tech companies.
- How a small FINTECH startup can take advantage of its location being a financial hub which is similar to Singapore being a financial hub for Asia Pacific region.
