 This mission is for investors and founders who would like to explore and understand the UK market.

We believe the best way to understand global markets is to be there. Join us for a 7 day immersive mission to the UK for London Tech Week led by the VC team at Tribe Global Ventures. Packed with meetings, workshops, private and public events, this trip will immerse you deep into the UK startup and innovation ecosystem.

 There is no better way to explore the UK opportunity than with trusted guides with strong in-market networks who will open the doors you otherwise wouldn't get access to.

What our previous participants said

Understand What's Available For Startups
 “The Tribe Global team was amazing. Friendly, helpful and communicative. The Mission is a great way for startups to get a good understanding of what is available to them in the UK. I'd recommend a TribeGlobal Mission for sure!! The work they put into giving us our own discussion panels, was really appreciated. They kept the cohort going and adapted quickly when required to ensure we were getting what was needed.” 
 – Ricci Schwarzler, Founder
 
Absolutely Worth The Time & Investment
 “London Tech Week is a fantastic combination of amazing founders, a tech-knowledgeable investment ecosystem, and informative speakers. The Tribe mission to LTW is absolutely worth the time and investment, because there are doors opened we could never have found otherwise. The founders on the mission are an amazing cohort of Aussies, and I now feel even more connected to the Australian startup ecosystem too.”
 
– Mike Le Page
Access. Access. Access. Cannot Fault!
 “Honestly, I cannot fault the Tribe team and the events that I had the privilege to attend. The angels, VC's, dragons, and people with common interest that we met were amazing. The value that we gained from the mission was a result of the Tribe's team generosity in sharing; providing access to their networks and bringing to bear their contacts in the UK. Highly recommended.”
 
– Guan Tay, Founder
THE Mission To Be On
 “Of all the groups that went to London, it was very clear that the Tribe mission was the mission to be on… All events happened on time with the schedule giving just enough time for those who needed to have those extra meetings to have them but not miss out on key sessions… As a WA business, this mission has enabled me to actively start preparations for flipping up a branch to the UK while keeping the HQ firming in the best place. A big special thanks to both the tribe team and the WA Government for enabling such a great trip.”
 
 – Dave Newman, Founder
 
Phenomenal Doors Opened!
 “The doors that opened on this trip were just phenomenal. There was no way that the doors that were opened would have been opened without this trip and Tribe.”
 
 – Sofia De Meyer
 
The Best Mission Team – Doors Opened
 “I've been on many trade missions, and even lead some, and I can hand on heart say the Tribe team are the best in the country to be running missions. You can land in a market and hustle on your own but it’s nearly impossible to reverse engineer the doors that opened for us like that on this mission. Thank you Tribe.”
 
 – Tim Brewer, Founder
