Companies we invest in need comprehensive support to get unstuck, pivot, and grow. To solve this, Palm Venture Studios provides access to a vetted network of shared services and back-office support to help startup leaders and their businesses succeed: → Investment & Capital While we approach investment with each founder on a tailored basis, we pursue a significant equity stake in most businesses because we really pull on the ores. We assess the capital needs of a stuck startup and can invest quickly and discreetly if needed. → Go-To-Market Our network of experts collaborates closely with startups in their GTM strategy and motion. We work together to refine their value propositions, refine their customer persona, expand their TAM, optimize sales channels, and drive customer acquisition and retention. → Finance & Accounting We provide robust, disciplined financial and accounting support. This can include managing budgets and expense approvals. All of the founders in our portfolio can make informed decisions that support sustainable financial health for their company. → Talent & HR Strong teams are essential to sustainable growth. We work closely with founders to identify a team’s DNA and attract top-tier talent. We also assist with onboarding, compensation planning, and employee development. → Legal As we expand, safeguarding our founders and companies with in-house legal services is a core goal. This will include (but is not limited to) corporate structuring, intellectual property protection, and compliance guidance. We help founders navigate complex legal landscapes while mitigating risks. → Strategic Partnerships Backed by a family office with 30+ years of successful investing and turnaround experience, we help founders tap into our network of industry leaders, customers, distribution partners, technology providers, and more. We help foster partnerships that are essential to sustained growth. → Studio Space Palm Venture Studios is a first-of-its-kind network of venture studios and hubs across the U.S. with offices in Palo Alto, Austin, Boston, Greenwich, Boise, and more. We provide co-working spaces in economic opportunity zones, benefitting all stakeholders. → Coaching & Community We connect our founders to a community of fellow founders, mentors, experienced entrepreneurs, and partners through networking events, workshops, online forums, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. We create spaces where founders don’t have to go it alone. Each of these services plays an essential role in rescuing, reimagining, and revitalizing startups.

Companies we invest in need critical turnaround capital. To rescue their businesses, we tailor our investment approach to solve a stuck startup’s needs. Our investment process is unique. We determine our approach based on an array of performance and revenue metrics and can make swift decisions if there’s an urgent deadline. Here’s how we do it: ✅ 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: We move quickly: Our streamlined approach allows us to quickly close deals and discreetly disperse capital. ✅ 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀-𝗢𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: We think beyond capital. After we invest, we provide comprehensive back-office support and hands-on operational leadership to help startups pivot and grow. This includes go-to-market strategies, recruiting, and a collaborative network that drives progress. ✅ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: Due to the substantial time, effort, and resources we invest in our companies, we seek a significant or majority stake to ensure long-term growth and stability. We pool our diverse resources to ensure a startup’s success. ✅ 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲: We believe in second-chance capital. Sometimes that involves making strategic pivots. With the right guidance, we work closely with founders to find fresh perspectives that expand their mission, TAM, and direction. ✅ 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹: Backed by a family investment office, we aren’t guided by the same timelines or return expectations that motivate traditional VCs. We’re also prepared to provide additional pivot and growth capital as needed to support sustained progress. With this approach, our family investment office has built a proven track record: • 65 acquisitions • 18 exits • 21x return on investment • 35+ active portfolio companies and counting… Think we could be the right partner for your startup or someone in your network?

Palm Venture Studios was established to build a network of venture studios across the U.S. Along the way, we uncovered a critical gap in the investment landscape: Too many promising companies were facing distressed situations and getting left behind. Palm Venture Studios is the only venture studio solving that problem with turnaround capital and diverse resources to rescue, pivot, and grow early-stage, purpose-driven startups and to expand their mission. Our unique approach: → We provide second-chance capital. We give promising, early-stage startups a second chance with critical funding. Our investments don’t stop at finances – we lean in as a strategic partner and surround companies with the resources they need to succeed. → Our investments are sector-agnostic. We customize our investments to fuel startups at any stage, with a special focus on those tackling tough challenges. What matters most to us? Companies are solving critical issues through their business, regardless of sector. → We believe in patient capital. We don’t give up on our companies. Backed by a family investment office, we value patient capital. Stability, sustainable growth, and long-term development are our priorities. We don’t cut corners or push fast returns. → We provide a collaborative network. Our nationwide network of studios are hubs for mentorship, resources, and co-working spaces. We are building a community of purpose-driven leaders of our portfolio companies to share knowledge, overcome challenges, and celebrate wins. → We partner with many investment stakeholders.
