About TiE Vancouver

TiE Angels Vancouver (TAV) is part of TiE Global Angels - Americas. TGA Americas is an umbrella organization representing the TiE chapters in North America and their affiliated angel groups. Founding chapters include Silicon Valley, SoCal, Boston, Atlanta, and Vancouver. Members include 1000+ active angels in the US and Canada, making us one of the largest early stage investing organizations in North America.

Our goal is to bridge Canadian entrepreneurs to global investors, and to provide Canadian investors access to global startups by leveraging the world's most extensive investor network.

About TAV Extended Canadian Investor Network

In addition to our own members, we work with other Accredited Canadian Investors for sharing of deal flow, access to our rolling fund, and SPV syndication opportunities.

We are committed to developing a new, more diverse cohort of startup investors at the angel, syndicate and LP levels. We give female and BIPOC angels exposure to private deals and opportunity to work with experienced investors. They also benefit from the group’s process to assess and conduct due diligence on potential investments. Syndication allows under-represented angels to participate in seed rounds with smaller cheques. Our over-arching goal is closing the diversity gap in startup investing, and making wealth creation through technology investments more accessible and inclusive. This also gives entrepreneurs an opportunity to diversify their cap tables.
