That said, our no-nonsense approach always comes with a smile, the best of intentions and an intrinsic drive to outperform.

Ninepointfive constantly questions the nearly fossilized principles of VC.

That is something very, very exciting to push forward on a daily base.

At the heart of hardware innovation lies the power to drive true transformation. In the energy transition, we're not just investing in technologies - we're building the foundation for a sustainable future.

Such level of creating impact is at the core of my career.

Reshaping traditional investing by embracing complexity, collaboration, and community is essential to creating real value and a brighter future for our children,

I have always been driven by putting something new on the map, throwing a stone in the river to change it for good.

With Ninepointfive we are doing this by pioneering as a VC next to corporations. Tidal adds another layer and also changes an industry I love, for good.

The role of a VC can be extended to a societal role: preserving and improving the European technological position. By financing and supporting concrete projects, one-by-one.

With corporate-backed ventures, I get faster to that larger objective.

I have been exposed to entrepreneurs all my life. If corporate venturing wants to yield meaningful impact, the talent equation needs to be solved.

For me it is exciting to help doing exactly that!

Kristie Dekkers

I believe groundbreaking technologies and bold entrepreneurs hold the key to combating climate change. The power of collaboration is where the thesis of corporate-backed venturing at Tidal truly resonates with me: bringing all these elements together to drive a sustainable future.µ

That’s what fuels my motivation to go to work with energy every day.
