TiE Silicon Valley Salutes Steve Jobs; an Entrepreneur that Inspired Us All

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (http://www.myprgenie.com) -- At TiE Silicon Valley, we view entrepreneurs as our colleagues and friends. It is the entrepreneur that creates the spirit and community and keeps innovation alive here in the Silicon Valley and around the globe. "It is with great sadness that we recognize the passing of one of the most influential entrepreneurs and innovators of our time, Steve Jobs. His vision shaped more than a company, it shaped the way people everywhere embrace and use technology in their daily lives," said Vish Mishra, President of TiE Silicon Valley, and Venture Director at Clearstone Venture Partners.

We have seen touching tributes pouring-in from across the United States and the world. President Obama yesterday expressed his gratitude for all that Jobs has achieved by stating "Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."

What Steve has done for American prestige, psyche and influence is equal, if not more profound, than that of a governmental leader. It is our mission at TiE to inspire and mentor budding entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and across the globe and the best way to honor him is to foster a new generation of entrepreneurs who keep Steve's spirit alive.

Bill Gates put it so well in saying "The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come." We couldn't agree more, and we send our heartfelt condolences to Steve's family, Apple colleagues, and friends as they go through this difficult time.
