Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
As a senior student entering my final term of study, I believe this is a great opportunity to round up my university education on a high note. I have always dreamed of visiting (and working in) Silicon Valley one day to learn about and be inspired by the many different companies at the forefront of innovation -- how they managed to turn their business ideas into reality, the many challenges they faced along the way, and what it takes to become a successful technopreneur. As I consider myself as someone who harbours a keen entrepreneurial spirit, I hope that one day I can apply what I have learned on this study mission to my own future ventures, possibly in the legaltech field.
- Where would you like to visit?
Silicon Valley: Apple, Google, Ontra, Airbnb
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Legaltech, greentech
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I plan to venture into the legaltech space, by building a platform that is able to bridge the gap between legal services and the less fortunate by making them more transparent, understandable and accessible, as well as incentivise lawyers to provide pro-bono legal assistance to those in need.
