Announcing the TiE Women’s Global Pitch Competition
The TiE Women Chandigarh Chapter is pleased to announce the TiE Womens Global Pitch Competition.
TiE Women is dedicated to Embrace, Engage and Empower women entrepreneurs across the globe. The program will be aligned with TiE’s pillars focusing on fostering entrepreneurship. The sector-agnostic program is focused on women entrepreneurs, irrespective of the size of their enterprise, origin, standing or background.
The vision is set to be achieved through a solid mission of sustainable and easy-to-adapt programming for all 61 chapters of TiE Global that will track the entire entrepreneurial journey with solid outcome metrics. The program is built on the Pillars of TiE Global: Learning, Mentoring, Access to Funding, Scalability, Safe Space and Community.
In India, TiE Women has partnered with empoWer for 2020 program. empoWer – An initiative by Zone Startups India – Currently in its 5th Edition, is India’s First Tech Accelerator for Women.
Agenda
- Inclusion of women in the formal startup ecosystem of the region: After a basic recce, we found out that most of the women entrepreneurs work in the shadows and their companies, products and services are hardly known or seen in the startup community. The agenda is to get these women out of their cubholes and be seen as serious contenders for funding, scaling up or both!!
- Access to the global community of TiE for Networking and Mentoring – both at the global level and the local level.
- Funding via our investor network – both within TiE and outside of it.
- Access to high quality Master classes over the year. These classes may include topics such as -How to build your brand, Understanding Digital Marketing, How to create the perfect PitchDeck etc.
- The Business Plan Competition – women entrepreneurs from our region get a chance to participate in the global pitch competition in collaboration with Empower – India’s first Accelerator for women. There is a prize money of 100K USD at the final pitch + Bootcamps + Access to global investors + Prizes at the chapter level.
