Investment Thesis

Calm/Storm Ventures is a founder-led, early-stage investor that believes in supporting entrepreneurs through the continuous storm of entrepreneurship. They invest in purpose-driven founders changing life, health and wellbeing for the better, focusing on both impact and financial returns. Their philosophy centers on the concept that ‘entrepreneurship is a continuous storm’ and early stage startup success involves ‘walking from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.’ They emphasize supporting founders not just financially but personally and professionally, believing that ‘when we invest in founders, we invest as much in their visions as in their personalities.’
