About TiE U

Empowering the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

TiE U Vancouver is part of a global initiative designed to fast-track collegiate entrepreneur’s innovative ideas into market-ready ventures. Over the course of six months selected students from colleges across Western Canada will gain the tools, mentorship, and network to turn their startup visions into real-world impact. 

Through mentorship, education, investment readiness, and hands-on learning, TiE U Vancouver connects academia with the entrepreneurial ecosystem – empowering the next generation of innovators to scale with confidence. 

Mentorship – The Spark That Ignites Innovation:

Mentorship is the heartbeat of TiE U Vancouver. Our ecosystem is built on deep meaningful relationships between experienced mentors and budding student founders. Every workshop, pitch competition, and bootcamp is designed to foster trust, guidance, and shared learning – because we believe mentorship makes the difference between a good idea and a great company. 

Vision: 

To empower student entrepreneurs in Western Canada to transform innovative ideas into scalable ventures through mentorship, education, and industry connections. 

Mission:

TiE U Vancouver supports students with innovative ideas by providing mentorship, global networks, and practical learning to launch impactful, investor-ready businesses. 

The benefits:

What TiE U Vancouver is not:

  • Not a university
  • Not a degree granting institution
  • Not an academic or accredited educational provider
