Tristan Gross – Executor · Artist

About Me

An artist at heart, my medium is business and product. With a strong technical foundation (custom OS builds, Debian packaging, tooling, automation) and a founder’s mindset, I help organisations move from idea to execution. Having built and supported companies across software, hardware, and AI-integration, I focus on durability, scale, and meaningful impact.

My Value Statement

I believe in business as a vehicle for empowerment, design as a vehicle for problem-solving, and execution as a vehicle for freedom. My focus areas:

Building systems and teams that can thrive without me.
Shipping products that solve real pain for real people.
Partnering with people who want the long view, not shortcuts.
Using innovation to open doors for overlooked talent.

Currently split between scaling TheLetsGoApp, expanding Gross Innovations into public-use patents & engineering networks, and growing TRIZAN as a strategic platform.

Ventures & Brands

Core companies and brands I lead or support publicly. Each has a unique mission, but the common thread is execution, innovation, and long-term value.

TRIZAN

Business growth & venture studio

A strategic firm focused on software, AI integration, operations and sales support for high-growth SMEs. I founded and serve as CEO, building teams and aligning execution with clear vision.
