Entrepreneurship -
a continuous storm
We are the most active HealthTech investor in Europe. Join our community of founders supporting founders, finding calm during the storm.

Calm/Storm - a boutique venture capital firm
We invest in purpose driven founders changing our life, health and wellbeing for the better. We focus on HealthTech including “digital health” and “well-being”, prevention and care, B2B and B2C startups. We have an outstanding track-record, named #1 HealthTech investor in Europe since 2020. Our aim is to create both, impact and financial returns. Our portfolio spans from fertility, to AI enabled infrastructure, from mental health issues to clinical decision support, from insurtech to chronic constipation, from SaaS tools for HCPs to taboo topics that everyone could encounter at some point in life.
We are a super-early stage investor and want to join your journey as early as we can. Usually we invest in your first fundraising round. No final co-founder team?No final pitch deck?No worries!Apply through our website. Let’s start talking.
We believe in diversity and equal opportunities and support underrepresented minorities. We believe that diverse teams deliver better results. Not only within our own team but also for our portfolio companies. More than 50% of our team members and board members as well as more than 50% of our portfolio founders are part of such an underrepresented group. Together we will change the venture capital industry.
