Why TSM Silicon Valley?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I have always wanted to visit USA, after watching so many American shows and being influenced by the Western culture. But more than that, I want to learn more about entrepreneurship from large reputable startups in the States and experience first hand what made them so successful.
After presenting my business idea during one of my entrepreneurship module, I was excited to see how my idea could potentially be a reality given the right growth mechanisms. My professor was rather supportive of my idea and said he would consider funding it together with other venture capitalists if I was keen. I believe this Study Mission will provide me with valuable insights and lessons that would come into handy.

Silicon Valley is famous worldwide for the number of popular startups booming from there. It is one of the most happening place and there is so much lessons one can take away from there. Founders of startups like Carousell were inspired after spending time at Silicon Valley, partly resulting in their innovative ideas and products today. I hope I too will be inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit in Silicon Valley

I am interested in App Development, especially in utilizing it to connect people and make life easier for others.

I plan to develop a social networking application that brings strangers from around Singapore together over activities that everyone mutually enjoys. Users can either post events like movie outings that they are interested in, or they can join such events. The interface of the app would be modeled after Facebook, which would be more user friendly and familiar to most users, also differentiating itself from other apps with similar function in the market.
