About Us
To foster the next generation of entrepreneurship
In 2011 the SouthCoast Chapter of TiE (The Indus Entrepreneur) first supported and sponsored TYE (TiE Young Entrepreneurs). This program provides a comprehensive entrepreneurial education for high school students, taught over 12 weeks. Students learn from successful entrepreneurs, mentors, and professors, learning the art, science, and business of entrepreneurship.
Each year since then, our local chapter has held a competition where the student teams pitch their completed business ideas and plans, with the winning team going on to compete in the global competition.
The Entrepreneur Academy (TEA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit that supports educational programs that foster entrepreneurship. In 2020, TEA ran a graduate summer program in conjunction with Miramar College’s Regional Entrepreneurship Center (REC).

Our Brand Logo
The Entrepreneurial Academy’s logo is designed to convey several messages.
Light Bulb
The first thing you may notice is the light bulb shape with the rays. This represents the great ideas that fuel entrepreneurs.
Light Bulb Base
The base of the lightbulb is the letter E to signify entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship.
Brand Type
Finally, the name is shaped over the logo in an arch, representing community, inclusion and strength.
Person
We also see that the light bulb doubles as a person with hands in the air signifying jubilation at success or maybe just “having the light come on” with the next great idea.
Pencil and Book
Below is the pencil point and the book representing knowledge learned from the book and knowledge captured by the pencil.
