Investment Thesis

Palm Venture Studios pioneered a ‘second-chance capital’ approach to startup investing, backed by a family investment office with a 30-year track record of patient, long-term capital deployment. Unlike traditional venture capital focused on rapid returns and early-stage high-growth companies, Palm provides turnaround capital to promising but struggling startups that need to pivot or restructure. They prioritize sustainability and meaningful impact over velocity, understanding that growth takes time and deploying capital discretely with flexibility around terms and timelines.

What Sets Them Apart
