Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

What draws me to the program is being part of Silicon Valley is incredibly appealing to me. It is the global epicenter of technological innovation, where the world's most successful startups emerge. I have a strong passion for startups, driven by my past internship at CardUp where I experienced it's fast-paced, innovative nature. Additionally, my involvement in a APECS (Asia Private Equity Club at SMU) has equipped me with the skills in evaluating startups, by conducting analysis and generating investment thesis, value creation strategies, valuation and returns analysis. TSM would be the perfect opportunity for me to enhance my understanding of the startup ecosystem and would definitely be a transformative experience.

Silicon Valley: Google, Youtube, Tesla, Geodesic Capital, Databricks
