It is also worth mentioning that this is the only awards recognition in technology to be held by a large global non-profit organization.”
To determine the winner, a panel of experts will screen the companies and create a list of the “2014 TiE50 Top Startups.” This list will then be reviewed further by a screening committee of deep domain experts. About 100 of the best of the breed companies are selected to the elite TiE50 Finalist pool. Finally, this pool of TiE50 Finalists are judged by a panel of highly accomplished team made up of serial entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, angel investors, CEOs and well-rounded technology experts, to determine finalists and winners. Companies will be evaluated on three parameters: Business Model, IP Value and Leadership team.
At TiEcon 2014, 20 of the top startups from each of the five segments will be chosen to pitch their ideas, and winners will be announced on stage that evening.
This year at the event, attendees and TiE50 participants will also have the chance to hear from three previous TiE50 winners who have made successful exits recently: FireEye, Pearl Therapeutics and Rubicon Project.
“This year the TiE50 Awards Program screened more than 2800 companies from 27 countries. The finalist pool is represented by early through late stage companies. A star attraction of the conference is TiE50 Finalist presentations. Audiences are treated to great ideas and amazing technologies” said Ram K. Reddy, the program chair.
The TiE50 track record since its inception in May 2009 shows that 94% of the winners and finalists have been funded, attracting Billions in investments. Many of these companies have been acquired, merged or gone public.
