Why TSM New York City?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
It is a good way to find out more about various innovative companies/start up. Understand the process of how certain start-up founders set up their business and also visit the Co-Working spaces in New York - startups usually start working at Co-working spaces first. I think this will be a very insightful to learn more about start-ups overseas and apply the knowledge back to Singapore in the near future! - Why pick New York City?
It is a Financial Center! Digital Payments and various Fintech startups will be at the fore front. Based on insights from Accenture, New York City's entrepreneurship in Financial Industry is one of the reason why Fintech is blooming in New York. As a incoming employee at Visa, I am keen to witness how Fintech starts ups can collaborate with various Tech Giants or Finance Industry to come out with new innovative products.
