Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?.
I grew up watching my eccentric father start and fail many businesses before he finally became a CEO of a pharmaceutical company. My experience of observing my father's many failures and success made me very interested in the idea of a start-up. Through TSM, I hope to broaden my perspective by hearing first-hand experiences of start-up owners, and learn how different companies innovate to adapt to the ever-changing demands of the global consumers.
- Where would you like to visit virtually?
I would like to visit, Silicon Valley, Tokyo, Shang Hai
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I am interested in Fintech, AI-powered products, Design, and Sustainability-related products.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
I know it is hard to start a business as I have an experience in starting my own Graphic Design company which could not be sustained due to the lack of experience and juggling other commitments. As such, I hope to gain more experience by working at a start-up first, gain know-hows, and start my own business again in the future in the field of AI.
