'''What makes you want to join TSM'''
 
 
Technopreneurship is the new breed of entrepreneurship. I am intrigued by how companies are able to transform industries by harnessing the heft and capability of technology and commercializing new ideas. Getting exposure to the entrepreneurship scene by immersing myself in the city is truly the best way to gain a better understanding of the eco-system leading to start-ups. To be able to interact with successful people in the field is really a phenomenal experience, allowing me to gain insights on what it takes to be a successful technopreneur. 
 
 
As a budding entrepreneur with a passion for new technology and innovative ideas, I am excited to see how technopreneurs worldwide are pushing the frontiers of innovation.  I am certain this opportunity will propel me closer towards my goal, launching a tech start-up. Bonding with like-minded peers who share common aspirations on the other side of the world is also quite refreshing!
 
 
'''Why pick New York City?'''
 
 
Renowned for its vibrant and diverse tech start-up scene, I am inspired by the seemingly limitless opportunity and energy of the city, the places and the people. People are known to be open and hungry for new ideas and concepts.  A key aspect of Why New York would be the city's deep root in diverse industries. I aspire to see how all these different industries can uniquely fit in the New York culture, also witnessing how entrepreneurship is accessible to anyone from any background, especially women. Unlike countries such as Silicon Valley, New York has managed to maintain a relatively healthy gender balance which can be difficult in this male-dominated industry. Being able to witness how the New York culture thrives in technopreneurship would be a dream come true for me.

'''What types of business interest you?'''<br>
 
Supporting growth and education for girls and women in technology, making the tech industry a more inclusive place globally, bridging the gender gap especially in cybersecurity. In 2013, only 11 percent of cybersecurity professionals were women :(
 
 
'''What plan do you have in starting a business?'''
 
To learn more from veterans in the field, gain exposure, intern at MNCs as well as start-ups to gain skills and experience. Practical industry-related experience would be essential. Taking the time to research widely about the market and target audience. Maintaining an entrepreneur mindset, always willing to take risk and never afraid to fail. Aiming high, dreaming big
