Why Virtual TSM?

• What motivates you to join TSM?

The quote from myself is "enjoying all the challenges in our lives as it could make ourselves become better". More about my personality, I am the one who would like to take the challenges because I did enjoy the sense of achievement.

I have always aspired to explore different innovative ideas to fulfill my entrepreneurial dreams. I believe it is not only to help me to be financial freedom and also to allow me to create more social value as it could help our society to adapt to some social issues. I always believe that we have contributed back to our society as we have already benefited from it. I have attended many community services from my secondary school until now.

I was given the opportunity to be part of SMU’s Global Innovation Immersion (GII) Programme. I was interning at a blockchain startup company in China, I asked the founder to have a coffee chat with me to allow me to understand more about the motivation for doing the startup and the future vision of the blockchain industry. I did learn a lot of knowledge of entrepreneurship and blockchain. I have also sought the opportunity to talk to startup entrepreneurs locally to explore more about doing business.

I can still remember the last event I attended was organized by SMC (Singapore Mentorship Committee). I have talked to different mentors (who are already done well in their career or their own business), I did remember one of my mentors in this event, and his name is Fabian kept encouraging me to do the things that I believe in (creating my own startup) and find a good partner to work on.

Hence, visiting Silicon Valley in TSM is a great opportunity for me to interact with those startup companies in the USA to understand their stories and understand the motivation of people from different backgrounds to have their own startups. It is also a possibility to meet some like-minded friends there, and explore innovative and valuable startup ideas.
