25 Years of Entrepreneurial Excellence

On May 7, 2022, TiE Boston celebrated its 25th anniversary with a gala at the Renaissance Hotel in Boston’s Seaport District! We were so pleased to celebrate this milestone with our members and supporters in an evening of inspiration with the original founders of TiE Boston and such luminaries as keynote speaker Ray Stata. 

TiE Boston thanks the business leaders and trailblazers who have made us one of the region’s largest organizations supporting the Massachusetts entrepreneurial ecosystem and connecting entrepreneurs, executives, and venture capitalists.

From a simple networking idea 25 years ago, TiE Boston today is leading the startup ecosystem with its signature programs such as TiE Boston Angels, TiE ScaleUp, TiE Young Entrepreneurs and TiE Women.

Over 100 startups have participated in the ScaleUp program – collectively they have raised over $250+ million with five exits.
