Turtle

Two years ago, I joined Turtle as their first sustainability hire. Now I'm stepping away to lead TRIIBE full-time. But before I do, I want to express my gratitude to the Turtle family and what they've built over the last century. Thank you Beatrice Clark for taking a chance on a sustainability hire and letting me work with you to set targets and initiatives even amidst a changing political landscape. Thank you for trusting me with an intern, shoutout Cheyanne Weigand , who still amazes me as one of the most thoughtful teammates I've ever met. Always rooting for you!! 104 years in, 5th gen, women-owned, an electrical distributor working where the wheels hit the road to create a more resilient future. Thank you to every person inside the building who taught me what it's like when a family-owned business creates a culture where every employee is also treated like family. Now, onto the next chapter. I'm going full-time as Founder and CEO of TRIIBE, the foundation funding next-gen nonprofit founders. We've brought on an incredible board, from Chelsea Toler , Global Deputy Team Lead for UN SDSN Youth, to Lara Stein , founder of TedX. Why now? Because there's a gap between being a "youth" nonprofit and an established one, and too many incredible founders fade when funding is cut off. Not because their work wasn't good enough, but because no one was there to fund them going full-time when they aged out of being young. Our college fellows are now heading toward the final cutoff at graduation, and they deserve someone full-time on the other side. So here's my ask: If you know an incredible nonprofit founder in their 20s, drop their name in the comments below to be considered for the TRIIBE I00. We're hiring for the summer too, and have space for 3 more volunteers! If you want to get involved in the foundation creating the startup ecosystem for nonprofits, share what motivates you to take root today to advance tomorrow. With gratitude for the chapter that was, and conviction for the one beginning, Kyle Matthys #Turtle #TRIIBE #NextGen #Nonprofit #Founder

Rapid city growth is straining transport, housing, water, and energy systems. Governments must build faster, smarter, and more resilient infrastructure. Turtle with our 103yrs of experience in the construction market will be at the forefront of this revolution.

Congratulations to all of my colleagues who make Turtle the leader that it is in our industry !!! #oneturtle

Today’s leaders expect partners who contribute ideas, data, and proven systems not just products. Turtle collaborates across utilities, contractors, technology providers, and policymakers to streamline execution and deliver faster, more confident outcomes.

• Execution is the missing link in most digital strategies: Many organizations have a strong vision for digital transformation but lack the resources or coordination to make it real. Turtle serves as a single-source partner for sourcing, integration, technical expertise, and ongoing support. #One Turtle
