Why TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
Being part of Silicon Valley is incredibly exciting to me as it is the global hub of technological innovation, where the world's most successful startups emerge. I can't wait to meet awe-inspiring founders and employees at the biggest tech firms to understand what it takes to be movers of the tech world today. I have a strong passion for startups, driven by my past internship at CardUp where I experienced it's fast-paced and collaborative nature. I hope to understand how great startups scale and iterate as accordingly to dynamic market conditions and user needs.
I am also very interested in the private markets, especially venture capital where startups find funding. It's fascinating to me how quickly the VC world moves and how they make their picks to find that 1 in 10,000. TSM would be the perfect opportunity for me to enhance my understanding of the startup ecosystem and would definitely be a transformative experience.
