TIGER 21 membership requirements

Every criterion TIGER 21 publishes, with its source, the date it was verified and how confident we are in it — plus superseded figures, so you can see how the tests have moved.

Read a requirement as the organization's published floor, not as a promise. A revenue test may have alternative versions for different business types, chapters can set stricter local tests, and invitation-only bodies publish criteria that describe members rather than admit them.

How admission works

Application process

Candidates submit an inquiry and are assessed by a Membership Development Director against the 5Cs. Vetting includes extensive background checks and interviews, and TIGER 21 states the process typically takes about two months. Meeting the capital minimum is explicitly not sufficient on its own.

Invitation required

Sponsor required

— not documented by the organization or a source we could verify

Selectivity

TIGER 21 states that meeting the US$20 million minimum "does not guarantee admittance" and that other qualitative requirements apply at its discretion. No acceptance rate is published.

Membership term

Annual dues covering eleven scheduled monthly meetings; TIGER 21 does not publish a minimum term

Primary audience

Ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs, investors and executives with at least US$20 million in investable assets, many of them post-exit.

Typical member

Members are wealth creators rather than salaried executives: current and former entrepreneurs, investment managers and senior executives, typically after a liquidity event, whose central problem has shifted from building a business to preserving and allocating capital.

Reported threshold changes

Date not publishedMinimum investable assets reportedly raised from US$10 million to the current US$20 million. TIGER 21 does not document the change or its date; the earlier figure appears in trade reporting. ↗
