Frequently asked questions
How does Tidal Venture Partners source proprietary deal flow?
Tidal operates Vimy Forge, an Atlantic Canada-focused startup accelerator launched in partnership with Kognitiv Spark. This accelerator serves as a sourcing pipeline, giving Tidal early visibility into pre-institutional companies in the Maritimes. The firm also co-invests regularly with Concrete Ventures, a local venture firm, which further extends its origination network across the region.
Which sectors does Tidal Venture Partners target?
Tidal is a generalist early-stage investor with confirmed exposure to enterprise software, industrial technology, and healthcare services. Its accelerator partnership with Kognitiv Spark — a company specializing in mixed reality for industrial applications — reinforces the industrial tech focus. The firm does not publicly exclude any sectors.
How is Tidal related to Farpointe Investments and Yabema Capital?
Farpointe Investments, the family office of the Merrithew family, and Yabema Capital, a Toronto-based family office, are limited partners in Tidal Venture Partners. Their capital helped seed the firm's first fund, aligning Tidal with patient, family-office-sourced capital rather than institutional fund-of-funds or public LP bases.
