Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

With a foundational experience in startups and scaling businesses, TSM represents an invaluable opportunity for me. The platform promises rich exchanges of insights with fellow founders who are equally driven. Beyond local connections, it offers me a gateway to broaden my network internationally.

I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey with SolanaFM in my freshman year at SMU, alongside my co-founders. Over the last three years, we've balanced academic pursuits with the demanding intricacies of running a business. The unwavering support from our school— whether it be understanding peers and professors or the constant backing from SMU BIG— was instrumental in our journey.

Joining TSM, in my perspective, is a strategic step. It's not just about personal growth as a co-founder; it's about propelling SolanaFM to new horizons and elevating its potential.
