Why Virtual TSM? ✈️
- What motivates you to join TSM?
TSM is a great platform that will allow me to learn more about startups and their culture. In addition, the chance to travel overseas and explore their entrepreneurial culture is a brand new experience that I never had before. Additionally, many of my batchmates have gone through TSM, virtual and physical. All I've heard was how enriching this course is, and I can't wait to experience it for myself!
- Where would you like to visit?
Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Ho Chih Minh, Silicon Valley to list a few!
Starting a business 💼
- What types of business interest you?
My hobbies include photography, fitness, and personal finance. Would love to see my hobbies incorporated into the business world through innovations like Fintech, and sustainability-related products. However, what I would love to see most are technological breakthroughs and solutions that solve the issues of people and help make lives better and easier for the people.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I currently do not have any plans in starting a business, as I have not found any pressing issue that does not have a solution. However, I am open to the idea of starting a business and would take this opportunity to learn more about startups, and slowly build up my knowledge about them before I embark on my own.
