Thesis

Storm Ventures backs early-stage B2B enterprise software companies with a focus on AI-native applications, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure. They employ a 'paddling to surfing' growth methodology and have deep expertise in taking companies from inception to $100M+ ARR. Their philosophy: 'the interface layer will disappear. The infrastructure layer will compound.'

Likely not a fit for

Storm does not invest in consumer apps, gaming, hardware without software, or pre-revenue companies without early enterprise traction signals.
