“Our fundamental ability to innovate around ecosystems depend on partners like TiE Silicon Valley.”

“Entrepreneurship requires a healthy dose of strategic naiveté—if you actually knew how hard the task was, you’d never start. TiE Silicon Valley keeps the entrepreneurial ecosystem thriving globally ”

TiE is the largest worldwide organization for entrepreneurship, and I think it, of course, starts right here in Silicon Valley."

TiEcon is the nexus for entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. It offers a unique experience and energy where I can always come for inspiration and knowledge sharing. I was proud to join TiEcon as both a sponsor and speaker this year.

We are always scouting to meet great entrepreneurs. Our partnership with TiE 50 awards opens many new possibilities

As Paul Allen & I experienced with Microsoft, innovators can't make it on their own, they need partners and supporters to make sure their best ideas make it from the lab to the marketplace and for more than 27 years TiE has been doing just that. You support great entrepreneurs from around the world & in some of the most important fields in technology today; TiE's work is essential to fostering innovation & creating the better world we all want.

What an entrepreneur needs is the spirit, it needs an investor, and it needs a collection of people who have common views that can come together to make an enterprise successful. I believe that as one goes along it looks at TiE as one very important component that brings this element together and grows enterprises in diverse disciplines, and I salute TiE for what they have been able to do.
