Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

Having been introduced to cryptocurrency through the finance world, I have grown a keen interest in researching on Blockchain startups. A peek into what goes on behind the scenes and what makes a good tech startup would assist me in my evaluation of these companies. Moreover, a large emphasis on tech growth is present in every major company in the world as companies look to gear themselves towards a post-covid world. I feel that it is essential for me to be involved in this pivot whether as an intrapreneur or perhaps entrepreneur.

  • Where would you like to visit virtually?

Silicon Valley and level39!

  • What types of business interest you? Businesses which change the way we have traditionally approached financial services
