Why Virtual TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
Technopreneurship has always been one of my favorite topics of interest as it is really intriguing to get to learn of the ideas entrepreneurs have before they started their startups and what hardships and challenges they had to overcome while running their startups. My motivation to join TSM largely stems from how much I want to learn about technopreneurship in this digital age that we are in where technologies advance so quickly. I took a course on technopreneurship back in my final year of polytechnic and got the opportunity to meet local startup entrepreneurs such as Rakesh Gupta of Guptasoft Technologies, Douglas Gan of Vanitee, and Aaron Tan of Carro whom have taught me a lot about being entrepreneurs in the local scene, now I wish to seek for the opportunity to learn of startups from outside of our Little Red Dot and widen my knowledge on how they are run and managed. This course also provides a channel for the students to be daring and innovative with their ideas and I hope to get the opportunity to see the interesting ideas my peers will get to generate through the tenure of this course.
