TiE Entrepreneur Institute Module 1

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.

Given the unprecedented crisis caused by the CoronaVirus, it has become even more challenging for entrepreneurs to successfully launch startups and raise funding. To help entrepreneurs in these challenging times, 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 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, Fundamentals of business modeling. We will bring how to Develop a GotoMarket Strategy and Building a Sales Organization along with other topics in Module 2 in September.
