TiE Institute Module 1

Are you a budding entrepreneur but don’t know how to get started? Or perhaps you have a great idea but you are struggling to raise funding for your startup. Being the CEO of an early stage startup can be a daunting challenge. You have to build a product that is ten times better than the competition. You have to raise funding even when you have little traction to show. Hiring employees is a formidable task especially since you can’t really pay them much.

We are here to help you traverse these multiple challenges. The TiE Entrepreneur Institute is a program by TiE Seattle to help aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs understand the fundamentals of building and launching a startup from successful entrepreneurs, seasoned executives and domain experts in interactive sessions.

TiE Seattle has gathered a group of successful entrepreneurs and subject matter experts to conduct a series of webinars to help them successfully build and launch a startup. The TiE Entrepreneur Institute Module 1 sessions will cover a wide range of topics from Essentials of startup formation, How to vet a startup idea, Fundraising fundamentals, Building a compelling investor pitch and Fundamentals of business modeling. Following Module 1, we will bring other topics to help you scale your company in Module 2 in June.
