The Best Mission Team
“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
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
You must go
“If you are considering an international outlook for your product then Tribe Global's mission is a 'must have' to give you the information, advice and connections to help accelerate this process. A well thought out, organised and valuable experience for Founders.”
– Barry Price
I was blown away
“I entered this trade mission run by Tribe Global not really knowing what to expect. To say I was blown away is an understatement. Jam packed itinerary, great range of diverse speakers and events, countless networking opportunities and a travelling cohort that became a family of like-minded entrepreneurs that I now call my friends.”
– John Budgen
The best way to decide on a market
“What the trip afforded us was an ability to have a real discussion on the benefits of moving into the UK and understanding the true costs, pros and cons of doing so. In addition, we were able to make a number of connections for potential clients, investors, and partners. It was an incredibly professional delegation and we highly recommend.”
– Angus Keck
The best mission to be on
“I found the mission led by Tribe Global Ventures to be incredibly valuable. Getting to participate with a mission lead that specialises in the market meant we got priority access to the best sessions, speakers, partners, and events. Beyond the structured learnings and networking, we had an awesome cohort of fellow founders meaning lots of opportunities to share just in time learnings for our broader start-up journey with lots of laughs and fun had along the way.”
– Jimmy Smart
