About TTC
Who we are
We collectively pool our knowledge, experience and resources to help our members and community thrive in business, investing, innovation and careers.
Think Tank Collective (TTC) started life as casual meeting between a group of friends living in the UK from Nigerian and African decent, with the expressed aim of sharing knowledge while exploring their desire to invest together as a collective. The founding group was comprised of successful professionals in a range of professions and disciplines ranging from medical to executive recruitment.
TTC was born out of a desire to amplify our collective network, influence and resources with other like-minded individuals that share our belief in the power of collective knowledge sharing to; not only better our individual achievements, but to also better the achievements of our communities and our future generations.
That’s why a part of what we as TTC offer, will always remain free. However, for those that that are ready to take action, we have created a tiered membership structure that enables members to participate at a level that suites their readiness to network and take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the aim of the collective?
You can think of the Think Tank Collective (TTC) as a learning community. We help primarily (but not exclusively) afro-Caribbean experts, professionals and entrepreneurs to share their insights and knowledge to help you advance in key areas. These areas include health, wealth, business, blockchain innovation and legacy planning. In our experience, many of these topics and insights are not discussed in forums available to many black people. We aim to make this more accessible and facilitate mastermind and networking between like-minded individuals; enabling a wide range of mutually beneficial opportunities.
Is the collective open to all?
Yes TTC is open to all. While the founding members are all male and from African descent, women and non-Africans are welcome. We do not wish to exclude anyone that shares our desire to collaboratively share knowledge and experience to help advance our members and communities. We do, however, focus much of our efforts on showcasing black experts and supporting the black community without excluding anyone that wants to be a part of what we do. We believe that the wealth creation, investment and career insights that we seek to share represent the kind of information that many members of the black community do not have easy access to.
Is it free to become a member?
While membership is a paid level of access, we do have a free level of access that allows you to attend our virtual talks, learn, and effectively test the waters. We commit to retaining a free level of access for people to come and learn. If you feel that you are in a position to take action or make a commitment to membership, we offer 3 levels of membership with incremental benefits. Please follow our membership tab for full membership details.
Do you offer financial advice?
While many of the topics we as a collective engage with may be financial, we do not offer individual financial advice and we are careful to ensure that nothing we do can be taken as financial advice. We educate with the expectation that people always consult a qualified financial advisor should they wish to make any decision that affects them financially. This also holds true in the event that we have a qualified financial advisor present in a group setting, you must seek your own individual financial advice. The issuing of financial advice is a regulated activity and we are not financial advisors.
