Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?.

I’d like to get a perspective of how tech businesses, especially start-ups, are conducted overseas. The Dos and Don’ts, how does one penetrate the market efficiently, navigate around cultural barriers but more importantly, how do they create value for their customers.


  • Where would you like to visit virtually?
  1. Czechia, Prague (Prusa Research – 3D Printing Company, our school’s Makerspace production monsters were from this company)
  2. Germany (Bosch IoT Campus [Berlin] – Their IoT Suite is something worth exploring and developing upon) (Mann und Hummel [Ludwigsburg]) – Homegrown company that deals with filtration, something that I believe that is much needed in SG [Town area, that is])
  3. Shenzhen, China
  4. Silicon Valley (Too many to name)
  5. Netherlands (Blender Institute, Amsterdam - Develops Blender, a fully open-source 3D Animation Cum Modelling software that rivals competitors that charge over SGD3000 a year, need I say more?)

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?
  • What plan do you have in starting a business?

Past Experiences (optional)

What keeps you ticking?

  • The constant pursuit of new, yet affordable innovations that the general layman could afford and use it to enrich his/her lives. (Think DIY 3D Printers, ESP32s/Pis and the open-source movement for both hardware and software [Reprap|Blender|etc])
  • Salted Egg Prata at Spring Leaf with Teh Cino
  • My pacemaker (This is a joke)
