Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
Starting my own business is one of my goals. Joining TSM will give me a rare experience to learn about technology and entrepreneurship. It'll allow me to learn about the experiences of people who have started their own business and give me a concrete direction to realising my goals. Being able to visit companies in other countries would also allow me to broaden my horizons and discover businesses that may not exist yet in Singapore. As I have had the chance to intern in a start-up, I learnt that a majority of start-ups do not last long enough to get seed funding. As such, I would like to have the chance to speak with more start-up founders and learn about how they managed to grow and steer their current business to its present stage.
- Where would you like to visit virtually?
- China (Shenzhen)
- Vietnam
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Something in the FinTech sector where technology can be used to distrupt existing process.
- What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
I am interested in starting a business that makes financial planning more accessible to everyone and digitalising exisiting processes which are time consuming.
