Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
The kinds where they can help a large audience and improve lives tremendously. One particular area which I'm interested in is wide-scale VR and AR tech because the possibilities are endless. With better development in VR and AR, there are numerous avenues that the world can improve on to become more efficient and enabling. We can help underprivileged families see the world through a new lens, while at the same time also bringing worker safety to a new level.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
Learn everything I can, discover problems, fail, reshape the world into what I want it to be.
