KOCHI: TiE Kerala, a non-profit, will join hands with Maker Village to provide technical support for budding entrepreneurs. On a visit to Maker Village with members of TiE Kerala on Wednesday, former TiE executive director K Chandrasekhar said many startups were on the verge of closing down.
There are several instances of startups being forced to close down despite getting proper funding and technology. This is due to the fact that they do not get the correct guidance, and TiE is focusing on giving the right direction for new and existing companies, he said. International cooperation, funding and incubation are the main areas where TiE is intervening.
“The members of TiE Kerala can give proper guidance to the startups as they have already proved their success in various sectors. This will also help in bringing cooperation at the national and international level,” said TiE’s senior vice-president Ajith Moopan.
