| |
| − | <u>'''My Motivation'''</u> <br>
| |
| − | *I've always been intrigued by the startup culture in the USA. i greatly admire the entrepreneurial spirit that Americans have and how it is so common for people to own their own businesses, regardless of their size or what they do. <br>
| |
| − | *Entrepreneurship has always been my biggest interest and passion in the Business ecosystem. Reading about successes such as the "Dollar Shave Club" from the Entrepreneur magazine, as well as watching "Shark Tank" has greatly inspired me to create something of my own. It would be a dream come true to be able to visit these companies that i have been reading about and admire. <br>
| |
| − | * I strongly believe that this trip will educate me about how American startups function: the mindset, work ethic and company culture. I would love to share these experiences with my peers back in Singapore, and hopefully spread this entrepreneurial spirit around my circle of influence. Currently, i believe that this is really lacking in Singapore because of stereotypes and social stigma. Having first hand experience would really increase my credibility in doing so. <br>
| |
| − | * Lastly, I believe that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that would greatly value add to my personal development and achievement. <br>
