What TRIBE does
TRIBE (legally Everyday Adventures Ltd) is a London-based, privately-held natural sports nutrition brand founded in 2013 by Tom Stancliffe, Rob Martineau, and Guy Hacking, following a 1,000-mile Ukraine-to-Croatia run to raise funds against human trafficking. The company produces plant-based protein bars and shakes under the positioning "Natural Energy. Nothing Else," emphasizing 100% natural ingredients with no artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or emulsifiers. Its core product portfolio includes Protein Flapjacks (7g plant protein, 6g fibre per 50g bar), Protein + Focus Bars (with Lion's Mane, Panax Ginseng, Ashwagandha, and B-vitamin complex), TRIBE x Wildfarmed regenerative-oat bars, and Vegan Protein Superblend shakes (20g plant protein with adaptogens, pre/probiotics, and 13 vitamins/minerals).
TRIBE sells through three primary channels: (1) direct-to-consumer e-commerce at wearetribe.co with a subscription model (40% first order, 30% recurring), tiered build-a-box discounts (10-25%), and a TRIBE Loyalty Miles program; (2) UK grocery and health retail including Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury's (UK-wide since 2019), Morrisons, Asda, Boots, Whole Foods Market, The Co-operative, and Booths; and (3) Amazon Marketplace. Pricing is in GBP, with protein powder at £18.99 (500g, 13 servings), single bars at £2.00, and trial packs at promotional pricing to drive first-purchase conversion.
The brand is differentiated by an embedded social mission — 1p from every bar sold goes to the TRIBE Freedom Foundation, which has raised over £2.4m since 2013 supporting 1,000+ survivors of modern slavery through 10 frontline charity partners. The community is mobilized through Run for Love multi-day endurance events, marathon teams, and the fortnightly Tempo Run Club. The company has raised approximately £6m+ across five disclosed funding rounds (2017, 2019 x2, 2022, 2025), with backers including Mercia Ventures, Yeo Ventures, and Crowdcube retail investors. Headcount sits at 11-50 employees, and the company remains UK-focused with no disclosed international expansion.
