"Mock Pitch" Judges Announced

Students, we have posted below our final list of the Mock Pitch judges. If you are so inclined, do some research so you "Know Your Audience." You may remember this happened to be one of the key lessons we learned about giving our elevator pitches!!! We recognize that you may be busy putting some final touches on your presentaions, so prioritize your time wisely... and see you tomorrow.

TYE Global Award Follow Up

A few months ago, we blogged about TYE's success at the TiE Global Awards. We have just now received some pictures from the ceremony, and you'll be pleased to see Geetha Ramamurthy accepting the "Most Innovative Program" honor from TiE Charter Members including TiE-Boston President Al Kapoor, TiE Global Trustee and former TiE-Atlanta President Chand Akkinenni, and TiE Global Trustee and former Microsoft executive Vijay Vashee. Congratulations to TYE again on its hard and dedicated work... and thank you to all of the students who have put in the blood, sweat, and tears into their innovative business plans. Keep up the good work TYE!!!













And here are some pictures of Vik Mehrota receiving the same award on behalf of Geetha back in 2007. He is seen with CK Prahalad, a management consultant, author, and the Paul and Ruth McCracken Distinguished University Professor of Corporate Strategy at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
