TribeX

After seeing the need for entrepreneurs to come together and support each other, Rachelle & I decided to create a tight-knit family of business owners. People who want to co-elevate each other personally and professionally. Not once, but by being true partners in each other's journeys...

TribeX is an international collective of impact-driven entrepreneurs who are into personal development.

A community for:
- masterminding
- expertise sharing
- accountability
- collaborations
- business friends around the globe

Online-first but with 2 yearly global gatherings and quarterly chapter meetups in major European cities 🏙️ 

Members are selected with great care based on Character & Integrity.

We believe those are the key factors for a supportive business family🫶🏽

We kicked off in September 2023 with 14 founding members spread across Europe!

Growtribute

Do you want a business empire AND personally thrive while building it? We help ambitious entrepreneurs to get on the fast lane to business success & personal happiness.

I founded Growtribute together with my wife Rachelle Leerling. Our journey of "Rollercoaster Entrepreneurship" (the highs and the very lows) inspired us to create an academy for ambitious entrepreneurs - enabling them to have a massive business impact in a sustainable and enjoyable way.

Results while working with us:
✅ Feel completely in control of the business & your days
✅ Step into your CEO role - execute on a clear vision, strategy and momentum.
✅ Be indistractable, less available & needed in the business
✅ Have more time for yourself, family, friends & sports by working smarter
✅ Truly turn off your head and be present on evenings and weekends

What other entrepreneurs say:

⭐ "I'm being stronger with clients, setting boundaries. And as a result, having more space to think and not feel overwhelmed. Old me might have panicked a lot more last week. But I had the structure behind me this time. Now it's about making the structure stronger & stronger and I feel clearer about how to get there, improving week by week" - J. | UK 

⭐ “My first week was literally amazing, no joke. I feel so much better mentally & physically. My gf says the same, she hasn’t seen me like this in a long time" - J. | Germany 

⭐ ”It was my most productive day in the last few weeks. I’m beginning to notice the first signs of improvement from having the new structure of my day. I fall asleep faster, and I wake up with greater energy”. - M. | Poland

⭐ "I read enough about habits and routines to know what I needed to know. But I needed to make it happen. I needed that push from you guys. And in these 3 months, I can really build something for the future." - M. | Israel

Travis the Translator

The original creator of the AI pocket translator. In 2017 we took the pocket translator concept from ideation to successful launch & shipment. In the same first year we've achieved a milestone of 50,000 units sold, with clear insights on proof of market validation. In 2018 we reached another milestone of 120,000 units and we were chosen as Startup of the Year by Dutch media channel Sprout.

Founder & CEO

Travis Foundation

We’re on a mission to empower people by bringing lesser-resourced and underprivileged languages into the digital world. Everyone has the right to be understood - whether we speak a common or minority language, whether we are in our country of origin or on the other side of the world. Communication and understanding are core aspects of being a human and Travis Foundation is there to close the gap of language inequality and preserve culture.

Founder & Board Member

Venture Café Rotterdam

The Venture Café Foundation is the not-for-profit sister organization of Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC). It aims to create a climate of learning and collaboration for the entrepreneurial, innovative and creative communities through spaces, programs and conversations. More info on www.venturecafe.nl.

Founding Program Manager

Erasmus Trustfonds

Erasmus Trustfonds and Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) have combined forces to generate the largest university philanthropic fund in the Netherlands in order to create the 'University of the Future', with leading scientists, renowned research, and world class education.

Marketing and Communication

Sana Commerce

Managed the department (15 nationalities/20 FTE) that generates leads for ISM’s sales and marketing teams all over the world. Simultaneously implemented an extensive action plan with structural changes.

Manager Lead Generation Department

Under direct supervision of the CEO (recommendation above) I launched new webshop software with SAP-integration in the market and prepared our own organisation for it. To get this done I selected and managed my own team (5 people/4 nationalities).

Project Manager

I co-founded TribeX & Growtribute together with Rachelle Leerling to change the way entrepreneurship is done. We stand for 'humanpreneurship' - the opposite of 'hustlepreneurship'. 

TribeX is an entrepreneur collective across Europe - a caring business family & business booster

Growtribute is an academy for entrepreneurs who want to be unchained from their business & own limitations.

We don't believe that your business should decrease your life quality & freedom and that doing it all yourself (aka the lone wolf) is the way to go.

Instead, what if entrepreneurship could provide you with wealth, freedom, fulfillment, and a rich social life? Having an amazing human experience while you run a meaningful business.

Our academy teaches entrepreneurship based on setting boundaries, stepping out of operations, high-impact moves, and leading a team really well. We do that through courses, retreats, and group coaching

Our tribe is a tight-knit collective of successful and kind-hearted business owners who are all into personal development. We help each other to drive more positive change through our businesses and share each other's best strategies.

Prior to this, I've been a tech startup founder/CEO. I co-founded Travis, the original creator of the AI pocket translator back in 2016. We proudly shipped over 200,000 devices all around the globe.

I've been living abroad since 2020, in Cyprus, Portugal, Mexico and Spain. 

Just hit me up if you want to know more or for a (virtual) coffee!

Founder

Tarsier Capital Management

I bet on people and value character over all else. I use my two conferences Ascent and Investor Summit to find great companies to invest in.

Seeking 2 micro cap or nano cap public companies to invest in per year. 

Seeking 2 seed stage SaaS or B2B companies to invest in per year.

University of Michigan - Stephen M. Ross School of Business

Master of Business Administration, May 2012 with an emphasis in Strategy. 

Co-Founder Poker Club

B2B events are changing.  The most value comes from smaller, highly targeted groups having deeper conversations. We focus on making networking EASY.

EASY Way = Fun + Authentic + Engaging + Meaningful Convos + Budget Friendly

The Old Way = Boring + Fake + Painful + transactional booths + awkward to break the ice + asynchronous content 


The Future of B2B Conferences = Justify the spend based on longer bottom of the funnel conversations with the decision maker 


Our audience:

• VPs and C-Level 
• Mid-Market - $5M to $1BN ARR
• B2B Software/Tech

My DMs are open if you'd like to see how Ascent can connect you with your buyers
