Membership Benefits

Networking

'Networking' at a multitude of events with people you barely know can be a hit and miss affair. A TiE Sydney event brings together people with shared values and goals - we love entrepreneurship and want to support every other entrepreneur out there! No one will scorn your idea, however outlandish - they will try to help you sharpen your pitch and introduce you to others who may be able to help as well. To make this work, you must be prepared to give as well- whether advice, contacts or even a trial order to someone just starting out.

• TiE events bring together everyone in the eco-system - entrepreneurs, investors, service providers and customers. As a member you get FREE entry to all monthly events and a discount for our popular workshops to develop new skills and learning.
• Network and cultivate relationships with successful entrepreneurs, corporate professionals and business leaders with similar interests.
• You can connect with any of 13,000 members in 56 Chapters in 13 countries via the Tie Global System as well.
• You can attend the TiECON conference events at discounted prices for members - at any Chapter around the world.

Mentoring

Whether you are starting out with a concept and a gleam in your eye or figuring out how to get from revenues of $1m to $10m, you can always use a proven entrepreneur as a sounding board or even mentor over a longer period to help develop or test your own thinking. The right mentor can not only help you avoid costly mistakes, they could accelerate your plans by helping you present your plans with credibility to investors and raise capital for growth. They can watch out for you with advice on how to negotiate terms with venture capitalists or angel investors.

TiE mentors are Charter Members who have joined only to give back to the entrepreneur community - they invest their time at no cost and only want to see you succeed. TiE also permits mentors to invest financially in mentees, under agreed guidelines.

• As a member you get free access to our mentor network to get help in entrepreneurial issues such as business planning, fund raising, etc.
• You can also take advantage of one to one ad hoc mentoring opportunities throughout the year.
• Members can establish relationships with Charter Members and other members who can provide them mentorship, connections to venture capital investors and other professional organizations; advice (especially with respect to business planning and financing strategies) and, in some cases, access to capital. However TiE, as a non-profit-making organization, does not directly engage in venture capital investments.

Learning

When you are racing to build and work in your venture at the same time, it is important to take some time out to look outside at new developments, concepts and war stories that may help you. Making time to attend many events is just not realistic for most of us, so quality, relevance and insights you can readily apply are most important.

TiE runs monthly events that present experts on topics of relevance, workshops that engage participants with experienced facilitiators and current thinking. Your time is money, so it will not be wasted at TiE.

• As a member you get discounted prices for our popular workshops - on Pitching, Business Planning, Networking and more.
• As a member you are eligible to participate in our Contests - Pitching or Business Planning are two popular contests.
• You can also access our global resources that can assist with your own venture or career development.
