Why Virtual TSM?

• What motivates you to join TSM?

I feel that the opportunity to be able to go to Silicon Valley and compare the general technological industry there as compared to the one in Singapore would be highly enriching. There is no doubt that Silicon Valley is where some of the best start-ups are born and I am deeply interested to see the behind-the-scenes mechanics of this. Admittedly, there have been talks recently about how tech is "dying" and how the valley is currently in a slump. However, I feel like it would still be highly fruitful to see the passion that people have for technopreneurship which I believe is still very well embedded there.

• Where would you like to visit?

Silicon Valley: Google, Meta, Netflix

Starting a business
