Storemapper / Calm Fund
Built Storemapper into a profitable bootstrapped SaaS, then launched Calm Fund — a new model for funding bootstrapped companies that don't want venture strings attached.
/ STORY
Tyler Tringas got rejected by YC and built Storemapper — a store locator app — into a profitable micro-SaaS on the side.
He sold it, and then created Calm Fund to prove there's a better model: small checks, no board seats, revenue-based returns. For founders who want to build real businesses, not unicorns.
