TiE Entrepreneur Institute Kicks Off Today

SEATTLE — TiE Seattle’s  TiE Entrepreneur Institute opens today. The brand-new program, designed to help new and early-stage entrepreneurs understand the fundamentals of building a startup, is taught by successful entrepreneurs, seasoned executives and domain experts. TiE Entrepreneur Institute will help entrepreneurs learn all aspects of building a startup, from setting up a company and building a product to designing sales and marketing initiatives and pitching investors.

According to TiE, unlike other offerings for entrepreneurs, which range from standalone sessions on a topic to online or offline deep dive courses, each of which can last several months or semesters, TiE Entrepreneur Institute fills a key need by providing a structured and comprehensive but short program. It has interactive sessions that can accommodate busy schedules of entrepreneurs and it consists of three modules.

“Very often, people looking to start up have domain expertise in one area but are held back because of a lack of knowledge in the other areas also needed to build a startup,” said Sharmilli Ghosh, president of TiE Seattle.  “TiE Entrepreneur Institute is a great way for new entrepreneurs to get 360-degree knowledge of building a startup from a stellar lineup of experts so they can get going quickly.”
