Tidal Venture Partners

Tidal Venture Partners is a venture capital firm founded in 2021, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, focused on the emerging startup ecosystem of Atlantic Canada. It supports the region's next generation of builders and innovators, from first check to early traction. The firm invests at the pre-seed to seed+ stage, targeting companies with a clear market thesis, minimal viable product, an early sales pipeline, and a proven ability to execute on a plan. Its sector focus spans fitness, wellness, and web development, alongside broader business/productivity software. Notable investments include Floqer, Innerlogic, and Wellnify.ai. The fund reports that for every dollar it invests, portfolio companies have gone on to attract roughly eight additional dollars in dilutive and non-dilutive funding. Tidal's investment approach favors backing small, high-conviction teams with detailed plans for reaching later-stage milestones, emphasizing bold ideas backed by demonstrated action. Its criteria prioritize founders in an underserved regional market, aiming to help close Atlantic Canada's early-stage funding gap. Investments will target companies with: ▪ Market thesis ▪ Minimal Viable Product ▪ Sales pipeline ▪ Proven track record to execute upon a plan ▪ Ability & determination to persevere
