Why Virtual TSM?

What motivates you to join TSM?
I have always been interested in understanding the mechanics of starting a business and to constantly keep abreast of the market to remain competitive in the industry. TSM provides a nice blend of theory, application and even exposure to directly interact with the companies themselves to gain a better insight into the entrepreneurship scene. Seoul hosts a variety of start-ups that have thrived over the years and it is definitely a place where I would love to visit. Having experienced the culture of a local start-up before, I am also curious to learn about the differences in start-up culture between Seoul and Singapore and explore the entrepreneurship scene outside of Singapore.

Where would you like to visit?
Seoul Startup Hub, Samsung Town, Dcamp, Nodeul Island
