Women investors making waves in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The fund comprises women investors looking to empower bold visionaries across all industries, anywhere in the U.S.
We are Tidal River Fund.

How We Started

THE ORIGIN STORY

In 2020, an idea was born. Seasoned entrepreneurs and investors, Annie Lamont and Alison Malloy, founded Tidal River with the hope of adding more women to early-stage companies’ cap tables. Over the course of three years and six pitch events, members of the community made investments into eight companies.

Galia Gichon and Chris Gelnaw knew it was time to launch a fund - one designed to educate and empower more cautious women investors to explore deal economics, research companies and their competition, and invest in a variety of companies as a community of like-minded investors.

With the support of CTNext and two institutional investors, they developed the framework to launch the $825,000 fund.

What We Do

WE ARE TIDAL RIVER FUND

Our industry-agnostic fund plans to make up to 14 new investments, with reserves for add-on to existing portfolio companies, over three years with amounts of between $50,000 and $100,000.
