Tidal Ventures

Morpheus Ventures is a venture capital fund that invests in early stage companies and helps them avoid traditional roadblocks on their path to hyper-growth. Our CEOs regularly seek our guidance because our team is made up of specialists across various disciplines that can serve as professional problem solvers when complex situations arise. Do you have that one friend you can call Friday at midnight when you need real help? That’s us; we’re experts at navigating times of challenge, from inception through all phases of growth. Consider the biggest roadblocks that can derail a company as they scale. The way we see the world, gone are the days when startups simply have a clear and linear path from Series A to unicorn. Nowadays, something or someone will try to block their path – a competitor, regulator, customer, rogue employee, or attorney general. That’s where we come in. We’re a team of former CEOs, operators, specialists, engineers, and legal experts trained at startup complexity, and we’re here to help.

Marquee Ventures is an early-stage fund that spun out of the Chicago Cubs. Like the iconic marquee that has illuminated Wrigley Field for almost 100 years, our investment strategy shines a light on companies with innovative ideas and exceptional growth potential. We actively partner with visionary founders and management teams, providing them with the resources, guidance and networks required to reach scale. How We Win Powerful Global Network: We can unlock a powerful global network of builders and leaders across the ecosystem. We know what our strengths are, and we know where we can help companies scale. Throughout our decades of combined leadership in these sectors, we understand that people ultimately drive results, so we have cultivated relationships with advisors and potential partners for our portfolio companies. True Partners: We are collegial and work as true partners. Early-stage companies are hard and working with people who share our "people first" attitude makes it a meaningful journey focused on shared success. We like to work with people who are just as happy debating ideas in the board room as they are doing it at an afternoon Cubs game. Expertise in Brand and Customer Experience: We have a unique understanding of the power of brand and customer experience. Nothing is more powerful than trust that a brand builds through its ongoing relationship with its customers. We have seen this firsthand both scaling new brands and managing historic ones. Transforming regular customers into meaningful fans can be the ultimate moat.
