TidePowerd didn't give up any equity for Springboard money (it was the previous fund)

To make the programme sustainable in the longer term, unfortunately it has been necessary to adopt a similar model to YC and TechStars. I am sure you agree that the provision of similar programmes should be encouraged.

True, the model is different now (equity investment) and Red Gate has less direct involvement (but still involved). Red Gate did invest in TidePowerd after the first cycle.
