Empowering the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
TrinTank Investment Fund (TIF) is committed to equipping young entrepreneurs with the financial support
and mentorship needed to launch successful startups. Leveraging the resources of Trinity Christian College, TIF focuses on providing strategic investments to start-up businesses in the Chicagoland area that align with
Christian morals and values. Mirroring the “Shark Tank” format, TrinTank will provide equity infusions into
selected companies, empowering young entrepreneurs to thrive. Our goal is to alleviate the financial strain
often experienced by early-stage startups and provide an opportunity for growth.
TrinTank’s investment allows for recipients to win a $2000 equity investment to be used for their start-up
requirements in exchange for 4% equity that is able to be bought back. This model ensures that funds are
recycled back into new investments, creating a sustainable cycle of entrepreneurship. Our recipients can focus
on growth and innovation without the immediate burden of looming fees or debts, enabling them to fully
leverage the financial resources and extensive support network offered by Trinity Christian College.
By fostering financial opportunities and mentorship, TrinTank Investment Fund is making a significant impact
on all stakeholders. Entrepreneurs are given the chance to build ventures that can transform communities,
reflecting the mission of higher education to provide lasting opportunities for success. At Trinity, we believe in
engaging in an environment where young leaders can thrive, and TrinTank is a critical part of that mission.
As we continue to build a self-sustaining investment fund, our goal is to expand our partnerships and impact in
the Southwest Chicago suburbs. Together, we can shape a brighter future for these budding entrepreneurs. Be
the difference today!
