About Tiffany
In the 1990s Tiffany Norwood did something that no other entrepreneur has done since -she raised over $670 million dollars to fund a start-up. She was 27 at the time. That money was used to build the first-ever global digital radio platform; launch three satellites into space, including XM Radio; support the development of MP3/MP4 technologies; and, invest in a new generation of digital radio receivers. As one of the few global serial entrepreneurs and the first successful black female tech entrepreneur, Ms. Norwood’s career has spanned 52 countries, 30+ years, 7 start-ups, and a patent. She was also the first in her family to be born with all of their civil rights.
Tiffany did her first start-up as a teenager and had a patent by the age of twenty-three. Her ventures have ranged from the first one-strap backpack to the automation technology behind self-install kits for broadband internet, and a virtual reality gaming platform. She also led some of the first-ever digital content licensing deals, including Bloomberg News and CNN International. Tiffany was also an early collaborator with the Fraunhofer Institute and their MPEG technologies.
Currently, Tiffany is the Founder and CEO of Tribetan. Tribetan teaches everyone entrepreneurship and innovation literacy for success in business, school, and life. With modules on Persuasive Storytelling, Cultivated Endurance and How to Practice, and The Power of We, Tribetan teaches the human science of success. Venues have included the European Parliament, Yale, the USPTO, KMPG, Bishop McNamara High School, University of South Carolina, theSouth African Embassy, and many more. Her dream is that the science of turning imagination into reality is as well known as reading, writing, and math. And then with these skills, reimagine everything. She also recently published her first book, Vote Like a Boss: An Entrepreneur’s Perspective on Innovation, Leadership, Creativity, Storytelling, and Voting.
Tiffany has an MBA from Harvard and a Bachelor’s in Economics with a concentration in statistics and electrical engineering from Cornell University.

Happy Memorial Day. Coming from a military family, I have tremendous respect and gratitude for our armed forces. Thank you for your service.
❤️ Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers around the world, and a special shout out to working mothers. My Mom was one of them. Born in 1937, my Mom was part of the first generation to try to "have it all" managing both the home and a career. And she was an amazing mother and had a great career. Her work ethic was untouchable. Watching her maneuver through life, made a huge impression on me as a child and as an adult. She was even an early fitness enthusiast, and would get up at 4 am to do her workout routine.
Happy World IP Day! I celebrate this year by sharing the first software code I licensed 30 years ago. This #software was used in analyzing merger targets during the banking collapse in the late 80s and its reorganization in the early 90s. This code was used as part of the largest merger in the history of the United States at the time, Chemical Bank with Manufacturer's Hanover Bank. I was very proud at the age of 24 I had done my first #licensing deal!
Congratulations to my beautiful wonderful cousin Brailyn on her first baby. Can’t wait to welcome little Alaiah to the family! Love you cousin. You will be an awesome Mom! You’ve been practicing your brother Cullen for YEARS!! 😆😍🥰😘😘😘
