Why TSM New York City?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
Find out more about various innovative companies/start up. Understand the process of how certain start-up founders set up their business. Visit the Co-Working spaces in New York - startups usually start working at Co-working spaces first. - Why pick New York City?
It is a Financial Center! Digital Payments and various Fintech startups will be at the fore front. Based on insights from Accenture, New York City's entrepreneurship in Financial Industry is one of the reason why Fintech is blooming in New York. As a incoming employee at Visa, I am keen to witness how Fintech starts ups can collaborate with various Tech Giants or Finance Industry to come out with new innovative products.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Businesses that solve citizen problems with Technology, Digital Payments, Start ups Collaboration with Financial Industry - What plan do you have in starting a business?
I may not have any plans to start a business in the next 5 years, however I am always interested to work in the field of Innovations. I plan to further my career in a Innovation Hub or Center to solve interesting problems on a daily basis. Although it is not the same as starting my own business, coming up with new innovative ideas to require some form of entrepreneurship as well. I have also considered working in a start-up in the future, working with a small start-up would require the staff to possess some sort of entrepreneurship spirit too to help push the company forward!
