Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
With the recent craze in creating a start-up among my peers, it has sparked my interests in this field as well, knowing that I am passionate about solving problems as well as having sufficient foundational knowledge in the technological side of things. However, creating a start-up from scratch is no easy-feat which I hope that through TSM, I am able to get a better sense and understanding about the mindset of an entrepreneur in the tech industry.
- Where would you like to visit?
Seoul: Gangnam, Gyeongbokgung
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I am particularly interested in businesses (i.e. GovTech, OpenGov) that develop products with the aim of driving tech for good. I am often amazed by how much impact an application with a few lines of code can make, hence businesses that are able to create products that have an actual impact in the local community intrigues me the most.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I have a few ideas in mind, in hope of finding a team of members this upcoming summer to work together with. I aim to start a digital business in the software industry, mainly sustaining off Software as a Service (SaaS) products.
