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. Participating suppliers pay TBN a network development fee, and TBN directs those funds toward NIL, TAF-related support, and other university-related initiatives.

TBN at a Glance

Impact-Focused

Focused on LSU-affiliated buyers, supporters, and support for university-related initiatives.

Structured Participation

Participating suppliers are organized by category and reviewed for network fit.

Supplier-Funded Model

Participating suppliers support the network model, allowing buyers and supporters to access the network at no cost.

NIL & Initiative Support

Supplier contributions may support 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 support for university-related initiatives.

 Vision

Purchasing with purpose.

A simple, trusted supplier network where buyers purchase what they already need, and supplier development fees allow TBN to support NIL, TAF-related support, and other university-related initiatives.

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

Tracks purchase activity tied to network-funded support.

Impact Allocation

TBN receives supplier development fees and allocates support toward NIL, TAF-related, and other university-related initiatives.

Why network-funded support matters

Many buyers and supporters already purchase goods and services through outside suppliers. TBN creates a simple way for those existing purchases to generate supplier-funded development fees paid to TBN, which TBN allocates at its discretion toward NIL, TAF-related support, and other university-related initiatives.
