Why TSM South Korea?

What motivates you to join this TSM?

I have a strong passion for learning and exposing myself to new experiences. As an aspiring entrepreneur, I am constantly seeking opportunities to widen my horizons and gain valuable insights about the start-up scene in Asia. Behind the glamour of being your own boss and putting "CEO, Founder" on your LinkedIn profile, the life of running your own start-up is incredibly fast-paced, complex and intriguing. And the ambitious dreamer in me yearns to be immersed in that culture.

I believe that learning goes beyond the classroom (or seminar room, if you will) and, in this case, far beyond our little red dot. I would absolutely love to be given the chance to embark on this trip.

Why pick South Korea?

South Korea has one of the richest and most colourful cultures in the world - it is truly the S(e)oul of Asia.

Puns aside, during my summer internship at a local start-up, our team applied to the K-Startup Challenge 2016 in the hopes of bringing the company to Korea, where I would have taken on a management-level position on behalf of the founders. Our dreams sadly never came to fruition, but my desire to dive into the Korean start-up culture remained. So you could imagine how quickly I jumped at the chance to do so!

Also, Korean food is pretty awesome. :)

Starting a business

What types of business interest you?
