Why Virtual TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
Having been surrounded by entrepreneurs and growing up witnessing the impact that technology has had on people's lives, I think it was inevitable that I too would be inspired to explore how I can bring value to people through technology.
I have had the privilege to help build a technology startup for the last 1.5 years and I have also interned at another startup prior to entering university. These experiences have truly shaped me as a person as I got to experience what it was like to be in a fast paced environment, surrounded with highly motivated individuals trying to solve one problem after another with whatever resources they had available. Of course I was also able to see the mistakes that my founders made and I learnt a lot from them.
Being a problem solver and being someone who likes to push boundaries and frontiers, I think that joining TSM would further inspire me while allowing me to see what kinds of problems people are trying to solve. This experience would also provide me with an avenue to gain first hand knowledge of the many problems that entrepreneurs face and how they overcame them. The lessons learnt will no doubt prove useful in the future.
Furthermore, after having worked in the tech industry and also due to the fact that I am pursuing a degree in Information Systems, I would definitely like to explore how different companies apply technology to bring value :)
Where would you like to visit virtually?
Seoul, New York, Vietnam!
Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
Anything related to tech (IoT devices in particular) or F&B, since I love to cook as well! I would like to explore any ideas that generally bring positive value to people and that are scalable.
What plan do you have in starting a business?
Over the past summer vacation, I participated in the PAK Challenge together with a group of friends. We were exploring the idea of creating a live commerce ecosystem to allow SMEs to benefit from the wave of live commerce. This project is still underway as we continue to refine and develop our MVP.
