Why now

More investor networks than ever. But no shared infrastructure.

800+Angel networks, thousands of hubs
Each with its own tools, its own process and its own investor list.
€2BN+Angel investments a year, by hand
Moving through Europe network by network, region by region: founders and investors chase scattered lists and disconnected tools to close a single round.

Calmar puts pooling, investor management and matchmaking all on one platform, open to every network in Europe.

Every network that joins brings its investors into the same ecosystem, so every round on Calmar can reach even further than the network it started in.
