Finding Product Market Fit (PMF) is hard for tech entrepreneurs. In this specially developed program from TiE Silicon Valley, startup founders, preferably between seed and Series A funding, will gain hands-on experience using a proven playbook to achieve their company’s PMF.

Through a series of online and in-person sessions, led by an industry expert Anurag Wadehra, a TiE Silicon Valley Charter Member, startup founders will complete a self-paced (which includes 6+ hours of video, 10+ worksheets, and reference materials) to improve the odds of success for PMF.

To support startup founders’ progress with the self-paced course topics, they will attend FOUR (4) live workshops and office hour sessions, held every other week. Startup founders bring their completed worksheets and questions to clarify and build their PMF company story and -in-market test plan directly with Anurag. You will be joined by and learn from your peers going through a similar PMF journey.

Upon course completion, startup founders will be invited to join PMF Day where they will present their story and plan to Anurag, peers and judges for feedback. And they will be awarded TiE PMF Master Class certification

We are delighted to host our upcoming Charter Member Lounge—the forum where Charter Members can Connect, Converse, and Collaborate—at the TiE Silicon Valley office in Palo Alto.

Our featured Charter Members for the August session are Manthan Shah, Principal at WestBridge Capital, and Avanish Mishra, Principal at Ishitaan Ventures and former Vice President at Thermo Fisher Scientific.

As part of the women's program, we are bringing a Fireside chat: Success mantras from startups and venture fund mavens with Julie Castro and Sushma Malhotra.

They will cover how relationships built on trust and mutual value can open doors to funding, partnerships, and invaluable mentorship, and how venture funds and startups that prioritize diversity tend to outperform their peers by tapping into a broader range of ideas and experiences.

Join us on August 22 at 6:00 pm PT where Julie will tell us more about their investment thesis and how it is grounded in optimism, transparency, and a relentless drive to rewrite the narrative for women entrepreneurs.
