About TBN

TBN is a relationship-based supplier network that connects LSU-affiliated buyers and supporters with participating suppliers.

An independent supplier network.

Tiger Business Network is an independent supplier network. We organize participating suppliers and help make warm introductions when there is a relevant buyer need and supplier fit.

Buyers work directly with suppliers, and suppliers may contribute a portion of revenue on the buyer's behalf toward NIL, TAF-related support, or other university-related initiatives.

Mission & Vision

 Mission

Connect. Introduce. Support.

Connect LSU-affiliated buyers and supporters with participating suppliers through a relationship-based network that turns everyday purchases into buyer-directed support.

 Vision

Purchasing with purpose.

A simple, trusted supplier network where buyers purchase what they already need, and suppliers help support NIL, TAF-related support, or other university-related initiatives on the buyer's behalf.

What TBN does

Supplier Network

Organizes participating suppliers by category.

Warm Introductions

Helps make warm introductions when there is buyer need and supplier fit.

Activity Tracking

Help track activity tied to buyer-directed support.

Buyer-Directed Decisions

Help existing purchases create support for NIL, TAF-related support, and other university-related initiatives.

Why buyer-directed support matters

Many buyers and supporters already purchase goods and services through outside suppliers. TBN creates a simple way for those existing purchases to also generate support for NIL, TAF-related support, or other university-related initiatives, based on where the buyer directs the support.
