Investment thesis

Calm/Storm backs purpose-driven founders working to improve life, health and wellbeing. It focuses on HealthTech broadly, spanning digital health and well-being, prevention and care, and both B2B and B2C startups across areas such as fertility, AI-enabled infrastructure, mental health, clinical decision support, insurtech and SaaS tools for healthcare professionals. As a super-early-stage investor it aims to join founders at the earliest point, usually their first fundraising round, even before a final co-founder team or pitch deck exists. The firm emphasizes diversity and equal opportunity, targeting both impact and financial returns, and fosters a community of founders supporting each other.
