Year we invested
Headquarters
Team today
Founded by Yusuf Karim and Rachel Lindo.
Tidewater gives small companies that operate in more than one country a single view of cash, along with the ability to move it. Balances, currency exposure, and upcoming obligations sit in one place instead of five bank portals.
Businesses at this size have historically been served either by a bank product built for enterprises or by a spreadsheet. Tidewater is built for the operator who does the finance job on top of another job.
Yusuf ran finance at a company that grew across four countries in two years, and he built the first version of this for himself. We invested because the product already had eleven paying customers who had found it without any marketing.
