Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?

Additionally, coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I've always been inspired to kickstart my own brand someday. As such, I feel that the blend of entrepreneurship and technology on this TSM will be a great learning opportunity to gain a better understanding of tech space and develop a more nuanced understanding of the institutional dynamics that startups are faced with outside Singapore. Additionally, I believe this TSM is an optimal platform to learn and interact with like-minded individuals and develop my interest in Technology and Entrepreneurship.
