TiE DC University program was launched to empower university and college students and recent graduates from 2019 and 2020 to become the next generation of entrepreneurs by educating, mentoring and inspiring them to plan and take intelligent risks in starting a business.

Program Format (Virtual)

TiE University has developed into an award-winning program that brings together university entrepreneurs with successful business leaders across the Washington, D.C. area to perfect their pitch, develop their product or service and provide a holistic approach to their startup. The teams go through a qualifying round in February. The final teams then go onto compete for cash prizes at TiE Finals, a pitch competition held in April. The winning team then goes on to the TiE University Global Pitch Fest Competition held in Silicon Valley in May to compete with other TiE University teams from around the globe. The event is held during TiECON Silicon Valley in Santa Clara, California.
