# Market Fund

Common Tide's Market Fund allows qualifying founders to invest a small percentage of their personal equity (1-5%) into a shared, diversified portfolio of early-stage, VC-backed startups. This structure gives founders a hedge against the inherent risks of their own venture by providing them with a stake in the success of a range of other companies. Additionally, Common Tide builds a community of peer founders who can offer mutual support, insights, and mentorship.

 

# Bespoke Funds

Common Tide’s Bespoke Funds extend our Market Fund structure to venture networks, accelerators, and funds, providing a unique diversification opportunity for their portfolio company founders. This approach empowers founders within these networks to share in the successes of a broader range of startups, enhancing financial stability across their ecosystem.

# Qualification

## Common Tide is for:

## Founders who have raised over $1M in an equity round led by a VC

## Founders holding over $1M in startup equity with options for partial  divestment

## Founders seeking investment opportunities in other similar-stage startups to diversify and hedge their long-term wealth
