TiE Rockies

TiE Rockies is a comprehensive eco-system for entrepreneurs with vital resources to help entrepreneurs through every stage of the business life-cycle. It is part of the global TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) group that is the largest not-for profit organization promoting entrepreneurship. We are one of 62 chapters in 18 countires with over 15,000 members. The mission and purpose of TiE Rockies is the same as TiE Global's, which is "To Support the Entrepreneur" via our award-winning Mentoring Program, education, and networking. We have two levels of membership: Charter Membership and General Membership. Charter Membership is an exclusive, invitation-only club of successful business people focused on helping and supporting each other and the General Members. General Membership is open to all and TiE Rockies offers General Members over 100 programs each year designed to support their businesses and careers.

TiE as a concept was born spontaneously when a handful of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs with roots in the Indian subcontinent met by chance in 1992. Out of that meeting came the idea of an organization that would bring together high achievers of the Indus region for the purpose of networking. From this simple concept, TiE has evolved into an active, vibrant international organization with three objectives:

•To network and to facilitate networking among members; •To foster entrepreneurship and to nurture entrepreneurs and •To help membership integrate with the mainstream community.

TiE-Rockies is based in Denver CO serving the entire Front Range and it shares the values and philosophy of the TiE Global organization.
