We are in the early stages of a new “super-cycle” of growth and innovation driven by fundamental advances in core computing and networking technologies. Extraordinary gains in processing power, storage and mobile broadband are being combined in ever more creative ways to create new industries and reinvent existing ones. Technology is touching every industry and fueling demand for growth capital.

We believe that businesses participating in the connected digital economy are best positioned for strong growth in revenue and profit over time. This “rising tide” can carry businesses across a down cycle, while value continues to compound, or vault them to high growth and high value appreciation during bull markets.

John Masefield wrote these words in 1902 to describe the call of opportunity drawing people to sea during the last great “super-cycle” of innovation and growth, from 1820 to 1913 Advances in navigation and networking technologies — like railways, steamships and the telegraph – enabled global trade, the Industrial Revolution and the spread of new ideas around the world Seafarers, seeking their fortune, would launch their ships on a “running tide” as a favorable omen and a practical way to harness the forces of nature

At RunTide, we are captivated by this spirit and seek to partner with management teams who have answered the call to build something enduring and valuable
