Their thesis, in full
Tidal Venture Partners is a Halifax fund launched in 2022 by Ian Whytock and co-founders, focused on the emerging early-stage ecosystem of Atlantic Canada. It writes Pre-seed and Seed cheques with an industry-generalist strategy and a current focus on AI business builders, and reports that for every $1 it invests, portfolio companies attract about $8 more in dilutive and non-dilutive funding ($21.85M to date). It has built a portfolio of 8 companies in two years, including Mimosa Diagnostics, Innerlogic and Floqer. It led five of its eight rounds and co-invests with investors from across Canada and the United States.
