TiE Colombo has partnered with Stanford Seed to offer the Stanford Seed Spark program to entrepreneurs across Sri Lanka.
Stanford Seed, part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, delivers the Seed Spark program for founders running early-stage companies in the growth or traction stage who are ready to scale. It is designed for entrepreneurs who want to sharpen their strategy, strengthen their business fundamentals, and position their ventures to be globally competitive.
Over five months, participants combine live expert sessions with practical, time-tested toolkits and the cutting-edge strategies that have shaped some of Silicon Valley’s most successful companies, enabling them to make sharper decisions and scale globally. Participants are also paired with one-on-one mentors drawn from Stanford Seed’s global network of experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders, gaining industry expertise and guidance on the challenges specific to their own venture.
The program culminates in a pitch competition, giving founders a platform to present their ventures, test their strategies, and stand out before a distinguished audience of angel investors and industry leaders. Through this virtual program offered by Stanford Seed, founders join a close-knit peer community of ambitious entrepreneurs from across the region, building relationships and collaborations that extend well beyond the program itself.
Applications are now open, and the deadline to apply is 25 July 2026. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and places are limited, so early submission is encouraged.
