Initiatives

TiE was founded on the belief that nurturing entrepreneurs will lead to the virtuous cycle of wealth creation and encapsulates the true spirit of giving back to the community. It was late C.K. Prahalad, Chief Mentor of TiE, who said, “Mentoring is an essential part of building an entrepreneurial culture. More importantly, it is a true reflection of the spirit of giving by charter members.” There are several Mentoring programs at many of the  TiE Chapters – both Group mentoring and Personal one-to-one sessions with seasoned entrepreneurs. These include “TiE Institute,” “My Story Sessions,” “Business Builder Breakfast,” Mentoring at “Business Plan Competitions,” and many more. Please contact your local TiE Chapter for more information.

Women of Influence initiative purpose is Capacity building, Increased Networking, Knowledge sharing, and Enhanced visibility
We bring together women from various regions, businesses, and faiths within the public and private sectors of society to address the critical issues impacting communities across the nation. These powerful women engage in ongoing discussions, developing strategies to unite and empower women to create projects within their respective fields and networks and capitalize on their combined resources and talents to have a positive, united influence from the local level to the global community.

The purpose of this initiative launched in 2020 is to build strategic partnerships with other Minority Communities and their organizations that share TiE SoCal’s values. This is done by fostering communities, bringing value to other organizations, and branching into collaborative events with other institutions.

The purpose of this initiative is to have transactional business activities between our members and charter members. We will list the give and ask of all the members and charter members on our website. We will support this initiative with monthly events.
