Tiger 21 is a peer membership organization for high-net-worth individuals focused on wealth preservation and learning from other successful entrepreneurs. Here's how it works:

Core Structure

  • Groups of 12-15 members meet monthly for a full day
  • Led by professional chairs/facilitators (over 60 professional chairs globally)
  • Over 100 groups around the globe
  • Approximately 1,200 total members

Membership Requirements

  • Net worth between $20M to $1B
  • Collectively manage $140B in assets (~$100M per member average)
  • Annual membership fee of $33,000
  • Additional charge for annual meeting (couple thousand dollars)

Key Differentiators from Other Groups

  • Professional facilitation (vs self-facilitated like YPO)
  • Higher net worth focus (5-10x higher than Vistage/YPO members)
  • Graduate school equivalent (vs "college" level of YPO/Vistage)
  • Focus on wealth preservation vs business operations

Value Proposition

  • Help successful entrepreneurs transition from wealth creation to preservation
  • Learn from peers going through similar transitions
  • Address challenges of post-business sale life:
    • Loss of operational platform
    • Shift from emotional to dispassionate investing
    • Managing wealth vs running a business
    • Dealing with isolation after selling business

Quality Control

  • Extensive screening of facilitators
  • Regular training and best practices sharing among chairs
  • Track metrics for group performance
  • Zero tolerance for confidentiality breaches
  • Strong focus on maintaining brand integrity
  • Regular gatherings of facilitators to share knowledge
