TiE SoCal along with location host Traction Labs brings you this must-attend event for all TiE members along with current and budding entrepreneurs startups. Come join us on March 29, 2018, as we welcome a new batch of entrepreneurs  for participation in our virtual incubator TiE Socal Labs for 2018.

After a successful debut year in 2017, TIE SoCal is ready to kickoff the 2nd year of our TIE SoCal Labs. In 2017, we selected 5 startups, mentored them to get their ideas off the ground, refine their presentations and helped them develop their initial concept. They were able to make connections amongst themselves, leverage opportunities for focused networking with TiE members and charter members, showcase their ideas at the annual conferences: TiECon Southwest as well as TiECon Silicon Valley.  Our next batch will have all these opportunities and more

The starting line up at Thursday’s big event will have you on your feet all night long! Join us for an intense evening of networking, learning, and competition. We are bringing you the dream team – FIVE SUPERSTARS  â€“ who are all MVPs in entrepreneurship. This is your chance to spend time with them on an equal playing field. Learn from entrepreneurs and investors, about what it takes to get an idea off the ground and get unique tips from leading angel investors about do and dont's for a startup as well as listen to the startup pitches from participating startups and our panel's feedback to them.
