I believe Ninepointfive holds a unique, unprecedented position in the VC space: With their focus on corporate venturing – a joint model to share risks, upsides and challenges with corporations – they find and leverage opportunities that traditional VCs usually shy away from

Although we are at the forefront of the energy transition, some crucial solutions will come from startups and scale-ups we don't know yet. Ninepointfive Tidal’s investment approach brings together like-minded stakeholders, allowing them to focus on their core business with front row seats to technology.

Ninepointfive had a network of other VC’s and crucial knowledge, such as investment structures and equity allocation models. Thanks to them, MakerVerse was able to secure an eight-digit seed funding.

We have seen Ninepointfive at work and appreciate how they add value by sharpening the value proposition of the venture.

The Tidal fund they are setting up now is a very needed answer to overcome the challenge of innovation getting to market in this sector. I appreciate how they bring the independent lens on value creation to complex settings
