Due to the pandemic, TiEcon has transformed into a virtual conference this year. Attendees from all 61 of Tie chapters spread across 14 different countries will convene to brainstorm on ideas.&nbsp; One of the highlights of the event is the TiE50 awards.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The prestigious TiE50 awards recognize the top technology and technology-enabled startups with no restrictions placed on any specific technology segment. Each year thousands of startups contest in the TiE Silicon Valley&rsquo;s premier annual awards. 84% of the winners have received more than a billion dollars in funding since the inception of this program in 1956.&nbsp; TiE50 awards have partnered with the popular reality show &lsquo;Meet The Drapers&rsquo;, where the Draper family invests in exciting new ventures. Entrepreneurs from around the world are selected to pitch their ideas to the Draper family and celebrity guest judges. As a result of this partnership, selected startup teams from the TiE50 awards this year will receive a chance to make their pitch on the show!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-mce-mark=\"1\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L_ps32UlsY8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/iframe><br \/>Video Link: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L_ps32UlsY8\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L_ps32UlsY8<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><em>&#8220;In the last decade, TiE50 has become a global brand for recognizing high potential startups,&rdquo; <\/em>said Mr. Kamal Anand, Program Chair, TiE50.<em> &ldquo;Besides the coveted recognition, it provides the winning startups a great opportunity to gain visibility and present in front of venture capitalists, and angel investors, potential customer and partner company executives at the annual TiECon conference.
