Tribre is steward-owned
Tribre Stewards are individuals — or people representing a partnering organization — who hold long-term roles in how Tribre is run. Stewards make decisions, hold each other to commitments, and keep this organization accountable to what it's for.
What stewardship means here
Tribre is built to pursue a purpose, not a valuation. We're not chasing a number in millions. The structure that protects that intention is steward-ownership: the people and partner organizations who hold accountability for Tribre also hold its decision-making power.
There is room for investors. Tribre takes capital where it makes sense — for runway, for partnership, for credibility. But investors don't acquire power over the organization's direction. That stays with the Stewards.
What this asks of Stewards: a long-term commitment, real participation in governance decisions, and a willingness to hold each other accountable for what Tribre is becoming. What it offers Stewards: a real seat at a small organization with strong principles, alongside people who care more about doing this well than about exit value.
Become a Steward
Tribre is looking for individuals and partner organizations who can commit to a real, multi-year governance role. The right fit is someone who already cares about how organizations are governed — about what makes them last, what makes them honest, and what makes them worth committing to.
The mutual-fit process is intentionally slow. We start with a conversation. From there, we invite candidate Stewards to observe one or two governance calls. Confirmation comes from both sides — Stewards take this seriously because the commitment is real.
The commitment looks like: [TIME COMMITMENT — e.g., 3-year minimum, ~6 hours/month including governance call + async]. Stewards are compensated through [COMPENSATION MODEL — e.g., equity-equivalent stake, see governance handbook].
