Since young, my aspiration is to be a technopreneur by leveraging on technology to improve people’s lives. Upon hearing the TSM program, I immediately realized its benefits and was eager to sign up for the program. By joining TSM, it would allow me to get a step closer to my aspiration through gaining first-hand experience with start-up companies. Personally, I have yet to start my own venture due to my lack of knowledge and experience. However, I believe that the program would enable me to learn practical and transferable skills with regards to the management of the startup companies. Furthermore, after going through several internships with local start-up companies, I began to realize that I tend to have a preference over the culture and system of start-up companies. It is a place where people are not afraid to contribute wild ideas, criticize each other over many discussions, and ultimately a place where innovation is the lifeline of the company.
