Having started four companies in Silicon Valley and spent his early career as an investor at two of the top venture capital and private equity firms in the world, Dave had a singular conversation that set the Tugboat story in motion. He spoke with Stella & Dot founder Jessica Herrin who awakened him to an alternative path to business success. Jessica’s approach to building a business was novel in the Silicon Valley landscape; she dreamt of building a private company to last her lifetime and beyond, growing at a paced rate over time, and fueled by a deep purpose and a commitment to her employees.</p> <p>The conversation became an idea that took over seven years to germinate. In 2013, Dave had dozens of conversations with leaders around the country who were ambitiously working to build meaningful companies, but who eschewed the VC and PE path to exit by sale or IPO. Combining sound business principles, extraordinary purpose, and a desire to bring their employees along in their success, these leaders were building growing, private, profitable companies for a lifetime, or longer.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-2" data-row="script-row-unique-2" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-2"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row limit-width row-container" id="row-unique-3"><div class="row col-triple-gutter row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-8 single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" ><div class="uncode_text_column text-color-nhtu-color" ><p>Based on these meetings and the common threads he observed in each of these conversations, Dave coined the term “Evergreen” leaders and “Evergreen” companies to describe the people and businesses leading this movement. After a small gathering including many of these leaders in Sun Valley, Idaho in October of that year, with the help of Chris Alden, he created Tugboat Institute, driven by his vision to convene Evergreen CEOs to help one another through inspiration, new ideas, best practices, support, and encouragement.</p> <p>Since its inception, Tugboat Institute has been committed to co-creating annual, in-person and virtual events, forums, certifications, and content in partnership with our members, all aimed at supporting the Evergreen community. Over the last 11 years, we’ve introduced a variety of initiatives to provide our members with opportunities to connect, learn, and grow by sharing experiences and best practices. Whether it’s through Tugboat Talks, Seminars, articles, intimate discussions, functional workshops, or curated seating at dinners, our goal is to empower leaders to build enduring, purpose-driven businesses.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4 single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" ><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-6030" src="https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2.jpeg" width="2000" height="1334" alt="" srcset="https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2.jpeg 2000w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2-350x233.jpeg 350w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-2-600x400.jpeg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="uncode-single-media text-right"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-6031" src="https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us.jpeg" width="982" height="452" alt="" srcset="https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us.jpeg 982w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-300x138.jpeg 300w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-768x353.jpeg 768w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-350x161.jpeg 350w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-600x276.jpeg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 982px) 100vw, 982px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-3" data-row="script-row-unique-3" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-3"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row limit-width row-container" id="row-unique-4"><div class="row col-triple-gutter row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4 single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" ><div class="uncode-single-media text-right"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-6032" src="https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4.jpeg" width="2000" height="1333" alt="" srcset="https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4.jpeg 2000w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4-350x233.jpeg 350w, https://www.tugboatinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/join-us-4-600x400.jpeg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-8 single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" ><div class="uncode_text_column text-color-nhtu-color" ><p>As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: to evangelize the Evergreen ethos far and wide.
