TLEEM was founded by Arjun Sharda, a 7th grader from Leander, Texas who is passionate about technology, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Arjun wanted to join a club with like-minded people but couldn't find any club at his school that had people interested in the same things as him. So he decided to make his own non-profit organization with the hopes of helping people in his school just like him. He wanted to do this across the world for people and help them grow and learn.

Today, TLEEM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, that is advancing education in the TLEEM (Technology, Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Engineering, and Mathematics), notably by its chapters and programs. We help people change the world, and address real-world problems in the TLEEM field.
