Tribevest: Collaborative Investing with Travis Smith - Episode #187

Travis Smith is the Founder and CEO of Tribevest, a platform that makes it easy to invest as a group and do deals together in as little as 48 hours. He started his career with Morgan Stanley but realized the most direct path to wealth and financial freedom wasn’t as an individual. The path is as a group, as a tribe. Travis is obsessed with building a platform that standardizes, streamlines, and ultimately de-risks group investing. He won’t stop until every single deal on and off the internet is an opportunity for a multi-player experience. Before building Tribevest, Travis was a top financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. Armed with his wealth management training, he became a thought leader in the FinTech industry focused on digital payments. He led the Strategic Alliance team at Jack Henry & Assoc., a multi-billion dollar FinTech company and core software for thousands of banks. Through these experiences, he discovered it was exponentially more fun to disrupt the reigning wealth management institutions than to be part of them. Through Tribevest, Travis seeks to empower everyday people through accessible group investing. Travis and Tribevest have been recently featured on TechCrunch and ColumbusInno after raising $3m for Tribevest’s collaborative investing program. Join us today and let us all learn why doing deals together as a tribe is the path to wealth and financial freedom and how Travis was able to build platforms that made group investing accessible to anyone.
