Join Somesh Singh and Tejus Mane of TiE Houston, alongside host Dr. Sunny Zhang, for a 30-minute preview of TiEcon Texas 2026 and a conversation about the people and relationships that help entrepreneurs grow. TiE is the world’s largest global community of entrepreneurs, supporting founders through mentoring, networking, education, incubation, and investing.
