Alumni: Advice and Benefits of TYE

Watch video series

TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) spans globally, offering an invention-based curriculum across 32 cities around the world, impacting a variety of youth of all demographics.

A success story of TYE is one that empowered a student and their ideas throughout the program to successfully craft a pitch, present to a board of judges and compete amongst their peers. Many students walk away with knowledge and skills to create their businesses, the majority get to compete, and some walk away with cash prizes and incentives to invest in their start up.

We stay connected with TYE alumni through many networking opportunities, and interviewed a select few from the program to ask their perspectives, after successfully completing the program, on how TYE has benefitted them and how it can help a student gain confidence in themselves, in their community and in crafting their business idea.
