Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
TSM is a rare opportunity for me to first-hand experience the technology start-up culture and its processes. I believe I will be gaining knowledge and insights that I am not able to find in on-campus modules and online cases. My motivation to learn about tech start ups comes from my interest in product development to solve real-world problems. I want to learn about start-ups because I believe that it is an important channel to for me to push my ideas to the market, and impact the society all of us live in today.
- Where would you like to visit?
Mercari,ExaWizards, Kotozna, Empath
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I’m into B2C tech companies. I’m interested in B2C companies because I believe that technology still has a lot of potential to change the lives of consumers.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I plan to create an application that fully replaces physical wallets, and normalize it. While much of the functions of a physical wallet has already been achieved digitally, I believe there are remaining functions, such as physical reward cards, physical access card, and physical ATM cards which are still reasons why people bring their wallet around. Moving all services to digital prevents wallets and the important objects it carries from being lost or stolen, a prevalent issue in countries with high pickpocket rates.
