Here is what some past TIM students have to say

: Hi, I’m Vignesh, a graduate student from the TIM program. June 2013, all I had was a passion to be an entrepreneur. I was still in India and had no idea how to go about it. Then I found the TIM program. Four months into the program, I had the tools, the support, the encouragement, the team to start my own company. Today, it’s been 12 months, and I’m talking to you guys from where I work. This is BitAxis and we are the global leaders in manufacturing bitcoin ATMs. I’m still a student. The program, not only lets me have ample time to run my startup but also augments on how I do it. My professors are my advisors, my coursework, my knowledge base. Every class – a time to relax, get inspired, and meet bright aspiring entrepreneurs. If you want to be an entrepreneur, no second thoughts, you should be in the TIM program.
My name is Ewan Reid, and I’m a graduate student in Technology Innovation Management. I chose the TIM program because I was looking for options for an MBA school, and I felt that the TIM program will differentiate me from other MBA graduates across the country. When I started in the program, I never thought that I would start my own company. And now that I am almost halfway through, I’ve already done that; and I’m really excited about that opportunity. The TIM program is different from other innovation and entrepreneurship programs across North America. Because it builds on management theory and actually teaches you in practice how to start a technology venture. If you’re interested in starting a technology company, the TIM program is probably right for you.
