Limited partners are becoming more adept at asking their impact-oriented managers a key question: Does it matter to financial performance if an impact-aligned company is owned by an impact investor rather than a traditional investor?

As Tideline enters its second decade, the firm is committing to an intentional shift from “navigating” impact to “centering” impact. We are challenging ourselves and other market actors to consider how we treat each other as human beings and make decisions, and why our behavior can be just as impactful as any investment decision or fund launch. Tideline was founded in 2014 as a specialist consultant for the impact investing industry.
