New York chapter, faced with robust local competition from for-profit
accelerators, startup organizations and dozens of competing events each day, has
been forced to evolve beyond the typical TiE chapter structure. We’ve tried many
different programs in order to stand out and, about a year ago, chose to launch
a new angel investment group.
