RunTide Capital
About RunTide Capital
RunTide looks to invest in companies where our capital can be used as a catalyst for growth at a transformational point in a company’s development. RunTide partners with management to build businesses with sustainable value. We bring experience and resources to our investments to support management teams through business and economic cycles and coach them through the challenges of rapid growth.
RunTide invests in industries where we have domain expertise and where we can be most helpful to growing companies. Broadly, this means the connected digital economy. More specifically, we focus on companies using technologies that enable products, services, and information to be reimagined and distributed in innovative ways to bring unique value to customers in large markets around the globe.
Investment Criteria
Management
We look to partner with committed, energetic, and scalable teams. The keyword is “teams.” We have yet to meet a CEO who can build a serious company without a top-notch team. We have extensive experience helping CEO’s find top talent to manage in high-growth environments.
Operating History
We seek companies that have been in business for 3 to 10 years. Why? We always say “it’s amazing how little of durable value you can build in a year, but mind-boggling what you can accomplish in three.”
Revenue
We look for companies with a minimum of $10mm of run-rate revenue with key reference customers. You have proven the market demand, so let’s grow! Perhaps you have $100mm of revenue, but need expansion capital to take share and build profit. We can help.
