I am willing to help co-create the Tugboat Institute and to advance the Evergreen movement. I look forward to being a part of a safe haven for entrepreneurs devoted to building purpose-driven, profitable, impactful companies at scale that will make the world a better place. I pledge that I will be inclusive, supportive, and transparent with every member, and I will strive to give more than I take. I respect that confidentiality is essential to fostering trust and meaningful relationships. I look forward to convening and conversing with members and with a carefully curated extended network of Evergreen thought leaders and expert advisors. I understand there is no member-to-member soliciting.
