TiE New York Mentor Program Kickoff
January 22, 2019

 

Dear Members,

To kick off the New Year, TiE New York is launching a new Mentoring Program on Tuesday the 22nd of January at the offices of Nixon Peabody.  

We hope you will join us to learn about the program and get to know the mentors and mentees alike in a friendly open settingYou’ll also hear from our inspiring guest speaker, Ronit Avni, founder & CEO of tech company Localized, and serial founder/entrepreneur.  We welcome all member mentees, mentors as well as those of our community who are interested to learn about how the program will work in 2019.

Over the past year, TiE New York has re-designed our mentoring program to be mentee driven.  That means we match mentees to mentors with the mentee’s needs foremost in mind during process.   Many of our recent mentees have started their journey with TiE New York as presenters at our Startup Open Mic Nights.  

The TiE New York Mentor program prepares entrepreneurs for the next stage of their startup development as well as for pitch competitions and meetings with financing opportunities. The winner of our last pitch competition, co-founder and CEO, Sam Bhattacharyya of Vectorly pitched at our Open Mic Night where they first heard about the Pitch Competition and applied. Vectorly was one of the final seven startups selected. All seven finalists went through our mentoring program guided by their team champions (Charter Member Mentors) and perfected their pitch for the big night.  This could be you!
