Entrepreneurship makes me excited, and I am interested to join TSM to learn more about entrepreneurship and technology. I also want to meet like minded people who are interested in entrepreneurship, work on something together and learn from one another. Additionally, I hope to make friends from different backgrounds and majors, and learn from their experiences.

Silicon Valley, China (Hangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing)

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?

Healthcare, healthcare technology, E-commerce, social enterprises, Fintech, businesses that innovate a new products

  • What plan do you have in starting a business?

Back in 2019, I tried to start a social enterprise with one of my friends, to help the disadvantaged elderly through art. We pitched at events such as NVPC's A Good Pitch! and participated in the Young Social Entrepreneurs Programme. Through these events, meeting a few potential partners, and interviewing potential stakeholders, we learnt that our idea was not feasible, and decided to conclude that.

Now, I don't have concrete plans, but thinking of something like a keyboard business.
