Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I heard about TSM from my seniors and how much the experience of taking TSM mean to them. I want to learn from other founders about their experiences when they started as a start up and how much they have accomplished to get to where they are today!
Through this Study Mission, I want to experience and understand the culture of Technopreneurship within different types of companies that are not based in Singapore. I would also want to get inspiration and knowledge from people within the industry on the type of skillsets and motivations to pursue in the industry and to broaden my knowledge in general. I feel that this study mission will provide me the avenue to grow as a person and as an individual in STEM.
- Where would you like to visit?
Companies in Tokyo: Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Canon
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Businesses that leverages on IoT and in-trend technology (like ChatGPT and AI/ML) to enhance their productivity and business model will definitely spark interest.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
Currently, I do not have any plans in starting a business. However, I do have a curious mind and motivation to want to improve on web applications and problems that are faced by the community and learn how to think out-of-the-box to solve these problems creatively and garner traction for people to want to use the solutions I have created (be it as an individual or as a Team)
