Tidal Ventures can be reached through its website tidalvc.com, its LinkedIn page and its X account. Its general enquiries address is [email protected].

Contacts are sourced from the firm's website and LinkedIn and re-verified on a rolling cycle. Spot a stale contact, or none at all? Report it — we re-run that firm within 48h and get back to you.
Yes. Every field on this page — profile, funds, investment criteria, portfolio and investment-team contacts — is available programmatically through the Private Equity List REST API and MCP server, so AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can query Tidal Ventures directly instead of scraping this page. One subscription covers both the web app and machine access — see API & MCP.
