TiE Hyderabad

Start with membership

• Programme pages say programmes are exclusive to TiE Hyderabad members, so decide which membership category fits you first.
• Early-stage founder: Associate Membership.
• Seed to pre-Series A and scaling: Scaleup Membership.
• Idea stage or student: Future Founder Membership.
• Use the Become a Member button on the site, or write to membership@tiehyderabad.org.

Match the programme to your need

• Looking for investors: TiE Angels India. You pitch as an Associate Member and must meet the eligibility criteria set by TiE Angels, which the site does not list, so ask the secretariat.
• Women-led startup: TiE Women. The woman co-founder or co-founders need at least 33% equity and the company must be under seven years old. The 2026 round has closed; write to tiewomen@tiehyderabad.org to ask about the next one. There is no application fee.
• Incubation: TiE Nurture. The page has no dates or form, so ask the membership team what the next intake needs.
• Student: TiE U for college students, TiE Young Entrepreneurs for school students.

Check before you rely on it

• The open applications page shows no open call right now, and the Future Founders page says no active programmes at the moment.
• Confirm dates and criteria with the chapter before you plan around them.

TiE Hyderabad is the Hyderabad chapter of TiE Global, founded in 1999 and run as a non-profit community of entrepreneurs, mentors and investors. Its office is at the EThames Business School premises in Khajaguda, Raidurg. The chapter describes five pillars of support: mentoring, networking, education, funding and incubation.

Who this is for

TiE Hyderabad is a membership body, and its programme pages say programmes are exclusive to members. For a founder that means the first step is joining, not applying to a cohort. The membership page lists categories for different people: Associate Membership for early-stage entrepreneurs and founders, Scaleup Membership for founders at the seed to pre-Series A stage who are actively scaling, and Future Founder Membership for aspiring and idea-stage founders and students. Charter Membership is for accomplished entrepreneurs and professionals who mentor others, so it is not the route for a startup looking for support.

What the chapter runs

TiE Nurture is described as a mentorship-led incubation programme for high-growth startups. The page gives no dates, duration or application form, only the member-only gate.

TiE Angels India lets Associate Members pitch their startups to Charter Members, who bring capital and experience. Startups must meet the eligibility criteria set by TiE Angels to be considered for pitching, and the page does not publish those criteria or any ticket sizes.

TiE Women is a TiE Global initiative with a Hyderabad chapter route for women founders. Its 2026 page asks for female-founded or co-founded startups, a minimum of 33% equity held by the female co-founder or co-founders, and a company in business for less than seven years. The page says there is no application or participation fee. Its 2026 applications closed in June 2026, so wait for the next round.

TiE U is a 6-month programme for college students, and TiE Young Entrepreneurs introduces high school students to entrepreneurship. Both are for students, not for registered companies.

Scale

The chapter says it has 175+ Charter Members and has impacted 6000+ startups. These are its own undated figures. Its home page and about page give different counts of annual events, so that count is not repeated here.

Location and contact

The office is at 2nd floor, EThames Business School Premises, Sandhya Techno-1, Khajaguda, Raidurg, Hyderabad 500104. Membership questions go to membership@tiehyderabad.org.
