For incubators, accelerators and ecosystems

Lighthouse Membership.

Calmar equips your incubator, accelerator or network to support your startups and investors professionally, so fundraising in your community stops being a logistics problem and starts being a process.

  • 50+ networks
  • 7,000+ investors & founders

The problem: your programme produces great startups, but then the funding round stalls them.

When your startups have amazing ideas and plans, it is heartbreaking to see them struggle with securing and managing funding. Loose investor contacts, no process, no overview of who invests in what and capital that sits in networks far from your own – all those things complicate your startups' path to closing their rounds and could be the end before they can get started.

Our solution: light the way with a clear process to a closed round.

Calmar equips your incubator, accelerator or university to carry its startups past the funding round. Five steps take them from a pitch deck that holds up to a round that closes. And it's all backed by the Calmar network across Europe.

  1. 01Assess

    Pitch-deck analyzer

    Your virtual VC analyst. Assess the quality of your startups’ pitch decks in seconds, before they go out to investors.

  2. 02Know

    Data insights of your network

    Keep track of all fundraising activities across your community: who invests in what, when and why.

  3. 03Reach

    Access to the ecosystem

    Connect with likeminded partners and 50+ networks across Europe, so your startups meet investors beyond your own region.

  4. 04Close

    Rounds that close

    Recommend Calmar to your startups: each one opens its round in its own clubroom, collects signed LOIs and pools its smaller investors into one Calmar SPV.

  5. 05Build

    Your own investor network Optional

    Optionally create & manage your own investor network and branded clubrooms, so the investors you win stay with your community.

Your community on the platform.

Network volume, ticket sizes, active investors and open deals, and a map of the partner networks around you. Who invests in what, when and why, across everything your community does.

  • Network volume and average ticket size
  • Partner networks on the map of Europe

Your investors, if you want them.

Optionally run your own investor network: every investor with contact, interests and what they have invested, filtered by role, status and domain expertise.

  • Optional: your own branded clubroom
  • One list of all your investors
  • Interests and domain expertise as filters
Investor insights: a table of investors with contact, interests, total invested and last seen

Where your startups raise.

A startup from your community opens its round in its own clubroom: pitch deck, deal terms, data room and the meetup on one page, investors from the whole ecosystem on the other side.

  • One page per round for all investors
  • Letters of intent collected on the platform
  • Pooled into one Calmar SPV at closing
