New Podcast Episode: Staying Calm: Building Something Unique in a Market That Rewards Same-ness

Happy Tuesday, friends! I’m really excited to share today’s episode with you. In it, Tyler Tringas of Calm Fund opens up and shares the good, the bad, and the ugly. Tyler first joined us in a Speaker Series way back in 2020, right before COVID. Since then, he’s raised four funds, invested in more than 80 businesses, raised capital for the GP to set the stage for scale, and hit the institutional capital markets for the first time.

This conversation is invaluable because in it he shares what didn’t go well, what did, and the lessons he learned. Some of the experiences Tyler shares here are really tough, and it takes real courage to share this publicly, so I’m really grateful to him.

Tyler also shares how he’s been able to build Calm in public, how his business model and investment thesis have evolved, and how his portfolio is doing.

Tune in here for a great conversation with Tyler, and learn what it takes to build a fund in this market!
