TIE YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS


TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) is dedicated to fostering the next generation of entrepreneurs by creating a program for high school students to experience entrepreneurship and innovation through experiential education. With TYE, students can start on the entrepreneurship pathway to their professional careers. We envision a world where TYE Alumni are prepared and eager to participate as thought leaders, industry experts and community builders to create a more collaborative and innovative society.

TiE Young Entrepreneurs is a Global program aimed at fostering our future generation of entrepreneurs. TYE focuses on teaching entrepreneurship to high school students and helping them discover the rewards and challenges of becoming an entrepreneur.

During the program, the students form teams, go through classroom session modules focused on different aspects of business and entrepreneurship, then write their own business plans.

Teams compete at the chapter level Finals first and the winner of each chapter goes on to the Global Competition to compete for $10,000 in cash prizes.

TYE has become a Global Program and now over 20 chapters throughout the TiE network participate each year. The TiE Young Entrepreneur (TYE) Program is a program where students learn about entrepreneurship, ideation and business basics, over the course of the school year.

The TYE Program involves local entrepreneurs, business professionals, parents, youth, coaches, and mentors. By coaching hundreds of students in this Global program, TiE is proud of its impact towards “Education” and “Mentoring”.
