Why Virtual TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
Joining TSM, allows me to get exposed to cutting-edge innovations and emerging trends where I can learn about the latest technologies and how they are applied to create new business opportunities. It also allows me to gain insights into the dynamics of the startup ecosystem, especially since I am also interested in launching my own start up. Understanding this landscape will be very valuable and meaningful to me. To add on, being able to witness these successful entrepreneurs’ journey or to even visit these big tech companies’ offices can be highly motivating and inspiring. In summary, joining TSM will offer a unique and immersive learning experience that combines educational, networking, and practical elements, setting the stage for a successful start in entrepreneurship.
Where would you like to visit?
Google, Y Combinator, OpenAI, Notion, Meta and the famous ring looking Apple office!
Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
A Social Media business that can help solo travelers like me to connect with like-minded people and share our adventures as well as create group activities for anyone to join and have fun!
What plans do you have in starting a business?
I will come out with the business plan first such as business concept, target market, competition analysis and marketing strategy. This is where I will have to do my own research, exploration and look for opportunities like TSM. Where I can get to network with startup founders, entrepreneurs to learn from their experience and gather knowledge on market insights such as in-depth knowledge of engagement strategies, product development in the digital space and market trends.
