Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I want to join TSM as it is able to give me an outlook on how start-ups around the world operate and survive in the highly competitive market. That is in contrast to large organizations, which have large failure buffers. Start-ups, on the other hand, do not have that luxury, and they must innovate in order to stay afloat.
Moreover, TSM is a good out-of-classroom opportunity for us to apply what we learnt in school to the actual working world. By embarking on TSM, I will be able to see for myself how the technology and entrepreneurship knowledge we learn in school work together in real life. Also, to learn from the entrepreneurs who have been through the whole process when building up their businesses. Therefore, I believe that it will be a valuable experience and lots of learning points for me to gain through the people that we will meet, as well as the peers who embark on this journey since we have the same interests when going onboard this journey.
- Where would you like to visit?
Tokyo: Sony, SmartHR, Fujitsu, Softbank, Google campus
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I am interested in businesses that offer value to their users while also empowering them to create value for themselves. An example would be YouTube and TikTok where these businesses focus on more than just making money; instead, they develop mutually beneficial relationships with the customers who utilize their products.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
Currently, I do not have any plans in starting a business. However, I would like to use this opportunity to learn more about start-ups and build both my technical and soft skills to better equip myself, before embarking into a new business.
