TIE SCALEUP

TiE ScaleUp is New England's first and only seed+ to Series A accelerator. The program serves startup founders by providing each admitted company with curated mentorship from industry veterans, an advanced scaling curriculum, access to funders, an active alumni community of startup veterans, and a lifelong connection to TiE’s esteemed global professional network. ScaleUp takes no equity and specializes in helping early stage, funded companies overcome their unique barriers to rapid scaling while on the path to their next capital raise.
