BOSTON—TiE Boston and TiE New York have opened applications for the TiECON East 2025 Emerging Company Showcase and Awards, a high-profile opportunity for early-stage ventures to present at the largest entrepreneurial conference on the U.S. East Coast. The deadline to apply is Aug. 27, 2025.
The showcase, slated for September 26 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel, will highlight Seed-to-Series A companies operating in three transformative sectors: AI, Life Sciences, and India-U.S. ventures.
In an a video interview, Alok Prasad, TiE Boston Board Member, emphasized the unique nature of the opportunity. “This showcase is not a pitch competition—it’s a launchpad,” he said. “TiECON East gives emerging founders the rare opportunity to connect directly with investors, industry experts, and a global entrepreneurial ecosystem. It’s where ideas get traction.”
Baldev Singh Rawat, TiE Boston Charter Member, echoed the sentiment. “What makes the TiECON East showcase unique is the caliber of connections it facilitates,” he noted. “This is where smart capital meets bold ideas. If you’re an early-stage founder looking to scale, this is the room you want to be in.”
