Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I heard that this was the best way to end off a semester. Personally, I would like to learn more about how entrepreneurship and innovation is driven in traditionally conservative cultures.
- Where would you like to visit?
In Korea, I would like to visit Seoul and Busan! The companies I would like to visit in Korea are… I am also interested in visiting less developed countries in Asia as there are amazing opportunities there in terms of innovation and technology-driven solutions.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Currently, I am interested exploring tech in the healthcare sector. The industry has always appealed to me because of its "giving" nature, and am excited to see and experience the changes that will take place within it due to emerging and disruptive technology. I will actually be embarking on an internship with a health-tech start up this summer. From it, I hope to get more in touch with such emerging businesses, especially in less developed countries where healthcare is not as accessible or adequate in preventing and curing illness.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I aim to start a X business that does X in the X industry. I have X team with X business model applying for X funding. My prototype can be found in X.
