When should I approach Palm about investing? When is it too late?
Early-stage startups come to us at various phases of their journeys, though most have raised money and are having trouble raising more. Many have gone to market and seen early revenue traction. Others have stalled, and many need to pivot. That said, if you’re looking to raise a traditional Series A, Series B, or Series C, we aren't the right fit. We specialize in turnaround capital for startups who need a second chance.
How much does Palm typically invest in a company? Do you provide additional funding after the initial investment?
We tailor our investment approach to solve a stuck startup’s capital needs. Our investment process is unique, and we evaluate an array of performance and revenue metrics to determine how much capital is needed to rescue a startup. We’re prepared to provide additional pivot and growth capital as needed to support the ongoing success of a company. If necessary, we support later-stage fundraising through our broad network of family investment offices and venture funds.
Can Palm move quickly for urgent situations?
We’re able to move swiftly if there is a critical deadline affecting the deal timeline. We review financial and performance metrics, capital structure and market opportunities, and we assess how Palm can assist beyond capital to help rescue your startup. Our streamlined approach allows us to quickly close deals and discreetly disperse capital.
Does Palm have strict ownership requirements?
We don’t have strict requirements for ownership, though we do invest with a disciplined approach. Typically, we aim for a significant or majority position in your business to apply the broad and long-term resources needed.

As we expanded, we recognized a critical issue: Many promising startups were struggling. To address this, we shifted our focus toward turnaround capital for purpose-driven, stuck startups.
Our track record is grounded in patient capital. We aren’t guided by the same timelines or return expectations that motivate traditional VCs. We deploy capital discreetly and understand growth can take time.

We worked years to win top customers across 14 countries only to run into a cash flow crunch that was near death. Palm has given us a chance to thrive with funding to find better product-market-fit and to expand our total addressable market. Palm’s hands-on support with sales, marketing, and business development—as well as the venture studio’s focus on sustaining business value, not just momentum— fills a big gap among investors.
