It will be held between November 14 - 16 at ISB in Hyderabad. TiE-ISB Connect is currently inviting entrepreneurs to submit a 5-page abstract business idea to TiE-ISB Connect Committee to qualify for an elevator pitch with venture capitalists at the event.
TiE-ISB Connect is billed as a unique networking opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs, early-stage ventures, and growth-stage ventures with potential investors, successful entrepreneurs and mentors.
Making the announcement, Dr Ajit Rangnekar, Deputy Dean, ISB said, ISB believes that Entrepreneurship is a very powerful tool to create wealth and jobs, which will fuel widespread growth of the Indian economy. It is critical that we identify the entrepreneurial potential at the idea stage itself and support it to build a successful business I believe that the TiE-ISB Connect 2007 will act as a catalyst to speed up the growth of start up and growth companies.
As the economy is on a high growth curve, the competition for adopting new business strategies and attracting capital, to back, start up and growth companies have intensified, driving entrepreneurs to seek help from experts like those expected to attend the TiE-ISB Connect 2007, J A Chowdary, President TiE Chapter, Hyderabad, said.

Compared to last year, we expect the number of business plans submissions to double, and we also expect multifold increase in the delegate attendance, said Mr Chowdary.
TiE-ISB Connect informs that eight of the business plan competition participants in previous editions have received business leads and support in refining business strategy. Three of them signed strategic partnerships and four of them attracted angel investments and are in advanced stages of discussion.
