ROCKIES.TIE.ORG/PROPEL
TiE Rockies Propel awarded the TiE Global 2017 Most Innovative Program! Our goal is to help Colorado become a top hub for entrepreneurship by catalyzing successful matches between Colorado entrepreneurs, mentors and funders through Propel. This program is designed to build meaningful relationships, stimulate growth and prepare entrepreneurs for the world of funding.
So, what does that mean? Over the course of 8 weeks you will participate in 15 hours of specialized classes that drill down on Guy Kawasaki’s 10 Slides for the Perfect Pitch with a few new additions. During this time, you will receive at least 5 hours of mentoring with domain experts as well as mentoring with an assigned advocate. Once you have completed the educational component of the program, you will have an opportunity participate in mock investor pitches with accredited investors who will provide real-time feedback and advice. Plus, a roundtable Q&A evening with TiE Rockies mentors. The program closes with a graduation pitch session to a room of potential investors, clients and partners.
Winner of the pitch competition receives their tuition back. Additionally, top performing graduates will gain access to key introductions to TiE Global networks and local strategic partners. Questions/Apply: Sharon Larson, Propel Program Manager
