I aim to partner with a few undergraduates from NUS to start a digital business to serve pre-uni students. We are planning to bootstrap since we have the human resources necessary to self-build the platform. In a previous round of the SMU BIG program, I also led my team in pitching the business idea I had developed to industry experts. Unfortunately, my team was not chosen in the final round and we learnt that our value proposition was weak and that similar business models like Gobble and Groupon had not been successful. Despite this, I still hope to launch my own company in the near future, but after acquiring more industry experience first. | I aim to partner with a few undergraduates from NUS to start a digital business to serve pre-uni students.

In today's fast-paced and highly competitive market, I firmly believe that creativity is the key to staying ahead of competitors and achieving long-term success.
