Abstract
TiE began as a Silicon Valley-based ethnic organization. Its original intention was to connect Indian-American entrepreneurs who could use their common heritage as a platform for networking. A decade after its inception, however, it was clear that the association was undergoing a subtle yet profound transformation. TiE was becoming globalized.
There is no such thing as the mainstream, since the mainstream also relies on networks.
