We cordially invite you to take part in our TiE New York's monthly Startup Open Mic Night event on Tuesday, September 14 starting at 6:00 PM, for an exciting night of virtual networking and pitching. John Lynn will be serving as our guest speaker for the event.

The co-founder of cela Innovation, John is a globally recognized expert and industry leader in startup accelerators. John has spoken on the topic at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, as well as in multiple locations within China, throughout Japan, Haiti, Aruba, and the USA. His work has been published in Forbes, TechCrunch, and presented at the NASDAQ. 

cela builds startup accelerators with the world’s most influential institutions. The world's largest corporations, universities, and government organizations all work with John and his team to set up their innovation and entrepreneurship programs. 

cela has also acclaimed worldwide recognition for setting up the first-ever global summit for accelerator leaders, the cela Summit. The cela Summit has attracted hundreds of speakers, attendees, sponsors, and other partners inside the accelerator industry to come together, collaborate, and move innovation ecosystems forward to better support founders everywhere.  

To pitch at this event, you don’t have to be a TiE member, you just need to be an entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur with a passion to share your idea that may change our world. You will be given a safe entrepreneurial friendly virtual space to deliver an elevator pitch for 2 minutes in presence of a group of mentors, angel investors, venture capitalists, startup-focused service providers, and a very supportive community of successful entrepreneurs.
