About Tyler Tringas

Tyler Tringas is the founder and General Partner of Earnest Capital (now Calm Company Fund), a venture firm he created to support bootstrappers and indie hackers after personally experiencing the stress of credit card debt while starting his own tech company.

The fund makes small early-stage checks, typically at the initial product-launch phase, and often acts as a lead investor while providing mentorship from a network of ~30 experienced operators. Notable portfolio companies include Makerpad (an early Earnest investment), Storemapper (a SaaS tool Tringas previously built), and several companies that transitioned from side hustles to full-time businesses under the fund’s support.
