Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Technology-based business that changes the way people usually do things and disrupt the industry. I am also interested in businesses that are able to leverage data such as via Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning or Blockchain and make use of it to improve efficiency and improve processes. Some examples of this would be the use of AI or ML for the manufacturing industry where it is used to pinpoint critical areas and allows for better communication between machines.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
I had the opportunity to join an early-stage startup where I helped in ideating, developing, and testing different solutions, this allowed me to gain more experience in how an early-stage venture works and what is going on behind the scenes. I also had the chance to talk to the founders and learned more about what they did to get their business up and running.
Currently do not have any plans in starting a business, but I would hope to start my own business after getting more experience in entrepreneurship. I am constantly thinking of and looking out for new and interesting ideas that could inspire me to start my own venture.
