Common Tide provides a managed solution for founders to protect some of their wealth and focus on the long term growth of their startup. We don’t believe that Founders need to face total loss in order to succeed.

Founder-Investor Alignment

   Limiting a founder’s investment to 5% of their equity ensures their primary wealth remains tied to their startup’s success

Zero Investor Impact

    The investment has no impact or cost to the Founder's company or its investors

Illiquid Investment

    Founders invest in a fund with no immediate cash return, avoiding the potential for short-term distractions and earn long-term tax-advantaged returns

Mental Health

    The strategic hedge against personal financial risk mitigates unhealthy levels of a founder's stress and enables them to focus 100% of their mental energy on delivering venture-level returns

Community Support

    Participation connects founders to an exclusive peer network, within which the community of founders support each other and de-risk the growth of each founder's company
