APPLICATIONS

Screening process

You do not need to be a member of TiE and there are no fees to apply. We use the following process to select companies to present at our quarterly TiE Angels pitches.

 

Best Practices for Pitching

  • Use simple, concise language. This is especially important in your online application as there is no chance to clarify. Even in conversation, stay away from buzzwords. 
  • Presentations are timed. If invited, you get a specified amount of uninterrupted time depending on the format, followed by timed Q&A. Details will be given upon invitation.
  • Talk about your team at the end. Most people take extra time in the beginning slides to warm up. It’s better to spend that warm up time on the problem/solution.
  • Have an ask slide – how much you are raising, how much is committed, what your valuation expectation is, and type of security (preferred equity, note, discounts, etc). If you have raised prior capital, indicate that as well. 
  • You will be asked to email your presentation ahead of time so we can pre-load it and be efficient with time. Please have a PDF or PowerPoint version ready. 
  • Demos, if any, must be completed within the allotted presentation window.
  • Finally, if you have a compelling data point, tell us that upfront and get our attention. Examples include having paying customers, issued patents, a well known team member, or a TiE Charter Member who has invested in you.

CODE OF CONDUCT

TiE Melbourne is a non-profit organisation supported by volunteers who manage the TiE Angels forum as a community service for the startup ecosystem.

Purpose

The sole purpose of the forum is to enable investors to discover and invest in promising startups. It is not a platform for job hunting, selling products or services to other attendees, or pitching companies.

Due Diligence

We heavily rely on members to volunteer in leading due diligence on behalf of the group. Leads are expected to conduct due diligence professionally and keep both investors and startups informed about the status.

Investment Commitment

If you lead due diligence and recommend investing in a company, it is expected that you will also invest.
