Startup media during the downturn is full of sensational shutdowns and massive layoffs. But they don't tell the stories of Calm Companies. How's the downturn for startups that focused on sustainable growth? On profit? Our portfolio wanted to share their side: #Buildinpublic

The magic of remote work (and grit): DeWayne is keeping his day job doing business development for Lambda School and working with us remotely and sometimes asynchronously from SLC 🙌

We do conferences a little different here at Calm Company Fund. We kicked off @foundersummit last night with a stunning opening party. Still to come this week we've got founder runs, taco crawls, Mezcal, choc tasting...🤯

Good morning Mexico City! Last night we had our opening night party at the beautiful @FourSeasons CDMX and someone just said "if the summit was just last night, it would have been worth coming" We feel you... yet we've got soo much more to come.

We haven’t done this but not opposed in theory. Fire over an application if you’re thinking about this 👇

Has anyone combined a revenue-based financing product with a marketplace for Saas businesses? 🤷‍♂️ e.g. @earnestcapital funds your purchase of a business on @microacquire , gets paid back on the loan plus a piece of upside profit growth for N years
