Tuebor is the word found on Michigan’s state flag; in Latin it means ‘I will defend’ and refers to the state’s frontier position.

Michigan state flag with the word Tuebor, the origin of the Tuebor Michigan investment pledge

The Tuebor pledge — as a call to arms for those who want to actively invest in the state’s incredible founders — was started by investors and Michiganders Reilly Brennan and Chris Thomas in 2023. We say that taking the Tuebor pledge is like supporting ‘Michigan’s next sports team.’
