The TiE Women program, a TiE Global initiative, was conceptualized to support women entrepreneurs across sectors, irrespective of the size of the enterprises, origin, standing or background. Recognizing the challenges and roadblocks faced by women entrepreneurs, this program goes beyond just mentoring. TiE Women provides comprehensive support to women entrepreneurs through curated mentorship, long-term guidance and opportunities for collaboration. The program envisions a future where women entrepreneurs thrive and create a lasting impact. Tailored initiatives like the TiE BootCamp and TiE Investor Connect – Women Special Edition provided an opportunity for women to refine their business ideas, access seed funding, establish market connections and achieve revenue traction
