Why TSM New York City
What makes you want to join TSM
Technopreneurship is the new breed of entrepreneurship. I am intrigued by how companies are able to transform industries by harnessing the heft and capability of technology and commercializing new ideas. Getting such exposure to the entrepreneurship scene by immersing myself in the city is truly the best way to gain an understanding of the eco-system leading to start-ups. To be able to see successful people in the field and interact with them is really a phenomenal experience to learn what it takes to be a successful technopreneur.
As a budding entrepreneur with a passion for new technology and innovative ideas, I am excited to see how technopreneurs worldwide are pushing the frontiers of innovation. I am certain this opportunity will propel me closer towards my goal, launching a tech start-up. Developing friendships with like-minded peers with common aspirations on the other side of the world is also pretty cool!
Why pick New York City?
Renowned for its vibrant and diverse tech start-up scene, I am inspired by the seemingly limitless opportunity and energy of the city, the places and the people. People are known to be open and hungry for new ideas and concepts. A key aspect of Why New York would be the city's deep root in diverse industries. I aspire to see how all these different industries can uniquely fit in the New York culture, also witnessing how entrepreneurship is accessible to anyone from any background, especially women. Unlike countries such as Silicon Valley, New York has managed to maintain a relatively healthy gender balance which can be difficult in this male-dominated industry. Being able to witness how the New York culture thrives in technopreneurship would be a dream come true for me.
