TIGER 21 NON-SOLICITATION POLICY

Philosophy

TIGER 21 is first and foremost a community for wealth creators to share information, ideas, and resources—and to network with other like-minded individuals they can learn from and trust. The trust and integrity among our Members is the glue that binds our community and advances our mission of delivering a world-class platform for Members to Learn, Access, and Connect. Taking advantage of the openness and relationships within our community puts that trust and integrity at risk, which is why Non-Solicitation is one of our core pillars.   

In simple terms, using any aspect of the TIGER 21 community—including your Group, a visit to another Group, another Member’s email address, the contact information available on T21 Connect or any other TIGER 21 asset—as a marketing tool to promote your for-profit business, not for-profit business, charitable organization, or personal cause is solicitation. The same is true for posting on T21 Connect about your business, fund, investment opportunities, events requiring a fee, or “free talks” which promote a for-profit business 

There are a few notable exceptions, which can be found in the section that follows called “Solicitation Exceptions and Opportunities.” 

Non-Solicitation Policy Details

Members agree to: 

  • Refrain from soliciting other Members for investment in any fund, venture, product, or philanthropy they sponsor, or are related to, in any way including but not limited to email, text, social media, subtle mentions during Group meetings or other official TIGER 21 events. 
  • Refrain from adding other Members’ contact information (such as email addresses, postal addresses, and/or phone numbers) to any informational or educational investment communication lists without obtaining prior consent from the Member.  
  • Refrain from using personal email for solicitation of any kind, even if solicitation is permitted within the exceptions below.  

Since TIGER 21’s Non-Solicitation policy is a Level 1 area of the Membership Principles–Code of Conduct, violations may result in a loss of Membership.

Members are encouraged to report any violations of this policy by emailing details to a Member of TIGER 21’s Conduct Committee:

Exceptions for Philanthropy Solicitations: 

  • Philanthropic solicitations of fellow Members are only deemed appropriate when a Member has a deep and personal relationship with another Member stemming from a longstanding interaction, including such activities as frequent socializing, traveling, and investing together. 
  • Simply being in the same TIGER 21 Group, or simply visiting another Member’s Group, does not qualify as a deep and personal relationship with another Member. 
  • Note that the Philanthropy Network on T21 Connect is only to be used for Members to discuss ideas, concerns, and best practices regarding their philanthropic activities. This network is not to be used for Members to post solicitations for donations to any specific charity or causes.
