Our take
With entrepreneurship and startups on the rise, new companies require investment and support to transform ideas into products. Additionally, existing businesses may need solutions that could be delivered by an innovative digital startup that does not yet exist. TribalScale supports companies in strategy, design and development, providing digital product solutions, as well as co-creating startups.
TribalScale stands out with a focus on empowering businesses towards their own success. Early on, the company worked with early-stage entrepreneurs on their ideas, and later, additional focus was given to the ideation and scaling of startups.
Founded in 2015, TribalScale raised $81 million in funding in five years. The company was in Creditor Protection from 2020 to early 2021, restructuring with the aim of sustainable future growth. Client support continued, and in the wake of the pandemic, the company has grown their team and expanded its customer network. Notable clients include Emirates, Nissan and Warner Bros.
