"TiE Florida Invites You to Turn Innovative Ideas into Real Business at the TiE Florida Business Plan Competition!"

Rev up your keyboards and put that business concept in print!  This is an exclusive event granting TiE Members the chance to finesse their elevator pitches and present their business plan to venture capitalists, angel investors, industry experts, and a supportive audience of entrepreneurs for frank and immediate feedback regarding their business ideas.  Participation may potentially lead to opportunities for funding.  Winners will receive a package of valuable legal, financial and marketing services from TiE Florida sponsors and friends, as well as immediate acceptance in the TiE Florida Mentorship Program to be launched by early winter.  Non-members are invited to participate as part of a supportive audience, and will gain insight into the process of pitching and securing funding.   Attendees will all have the opportunity to network with others interested in new ideas and start-up ventures.
