Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I am interested in gaining exposure to the entrepreneurship scene and seeing how entrepreneurs turn an idea into a business, better yet being involved/experiencing it myself. TSM is definitely provides such an opportunity and might even open new doors/opportunities to turn ideas into businesses. On top of that, an overseas study mission would further broaden perspectives of the entrepreneurship scene at a global level. Also, South Korea is well-known for tech startups and even have their own equivalent of Silicon Valley, which makes next term's TSM even more appealing. Seniors and friends who have taken this course before also gave very positive reviews despite it being mostly virtual, so now that there is a possibility of travelling there for an actual experience, I am even more excited to join TSM!
- Where would you like to visit?
Seoul: Google, Redbrick Inc., Dot Inc.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?

Disruptive innovation/technology in particular interests me as it's fascinating to see how startups can shake up the industry and challenge well-established firms with a new idea/technology, even to the point of transforming the industry and replacing the big firms. Examples are digital streaming platforms like Netflix and Spotify which transformed the entertainment industry, replacing traditional mediums like Cable TV and CD players to become the new giants in the industry. Uber and Grab are other similar examples but in the transport industry.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
