Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I heard so much about TSM from my seniors. I want to learn from other founders how to start up despite the incredibly high failure rate.
- Where would you like to visit?
Tokyo: Softbank, Canon, Sega, Nintendo, Yamaha, Honda, Ubie
My first experience as a software engineer at a robotics-led startup Sensorbot. It was a great experience as it exposed me to the actual working environment. I got to experience the challenge of helping to build a start-up. If I were given the chance to go for TSM, I would like to visit and interact with Japanese startups workers and also to build connections with them.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I am interested in mainly Tech companies specializing in Data and Artificial Intelligence. I believe that information is vital in today's world and that companies that are able to fully exploit will be able to path the way for the future.
- What plans do you have for starting a business?
I have plans for the future to revolutionize old industries with technology in FB or transport. In the past, my friends and I created a rental and repair motorcycle company that was very reliant on physical labor. I believe that with technology, I will be able to streamline and reduce the load on human labor and re-enter those industries again.
