My Travel Story

by: Jeremy Chong Start Date: Feb 15, 2023 - End Date: Aug 14, 2023
Why do I want to go to the UK? As a final year degree course's Computer Science (with a specialism in Data Analytics) student who's studying in Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (QS 5 Stars Plus university rating – only 19 universities from around the world have achieved this rating), I'm passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation. But I'm also someone who has never left the continent of my country (Malaysia), Asia, and exploring the cultural riches of Europe has always been a dream of mine. I believe that attending a summer school program at De Montfort University in the UK is the perfect opportunity to pursue both of these passions. How will I achieve this goal? By immersing myself in the dynamic and fast-paced world of social commerce. What do I need to make this happen? Your support.

As a winner of several startup and hackathon competitions, including a championship for Startup Weekend (a startup competition) and 30-Hour No-Code Hackathon (a ideation competition in partnership with Google Cloud), I'm eager to continue learning and growing as an entrepreneur. By attending the summer school program at De Montfort University, I'll have the opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals from around the world and gain new perspectives on the industry.

As the founder of Foodport, a social commerce platform that helps people discover the next viral food trend and connect with others who share their love of food, I'm eager to continue refining the business idea and business model of Foodport. I see the potential for this innovative business model to solve some of the key challenges facing traditional e-commerce and social media platforms. By combining the stickiness of a social media platform with the revenue-generating potential of an e-commerce platform, we can create something truly revolutionary.

Over the past year, I've been working tirelessly to build Foodport and refine the mobile application with two other founders. Our goal is to launch the app to the market and gain 100,000 users by the end of this year. But we're not stopping there - our ultimate vision is to become a trillion-dollar company and change the way people think about social commerce.

With your support, I can take the next step in this exciting journey. Your contributions will help cover the cost of my travel, accommodation, and other expenses related to attending the summer school program at De Montfort University. I believe that by attending this program, I can gain valuable knowledge and insights that will help me take Foodport to the next level. In return, I'm happy to offer personalized postcards, souvenirs, or a virtual Q&A session to show my appreciation for your generosity.

Join me on this exciting journey as I pursue my passion for entrepreneurship and innovation, explore the cultural riches of Europe, and unlock the secrets of social commerce. Together, we can make a difference and inspire others to pursue their dreams. Thank you for your support!
