Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I have always been interested in entrepreneurship, having started 2 e-commerce side hustles during National Service. The 2 e-commerce side hustles I started were Fulfilment-by-Amazon (FBA) business and a dropshipping business.
For the FBA business, I handled everything starting from searching for suppliers on Alibaba to shipping my products to an Amazon warehouse in the US.
Joining TSM allows me to put on the entrepreneurial mindset again and interact with like-minded people to learn more about what is required to start a successful business.
- Where would you like to visit?
Nintendo, Rakuten
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Businesses selling software as a service as I feel that is a very scalable and profitable business that can take off rapidly but the initial starting phase is difficult.
I am also interested in e-commerce businesses given how much easier it is to sell products online in recent years.
- 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.
