Providing “runway capital” to talented starters who are ready for take-off! Currently the fund is closed. Inspired by aviation, Marco Aarnink started St. Elmo's Fire as an angel investment fund. St. Elmo's Fire is a weather phenomenon in which a blue light is created by a discharge from an object in a strong electric field in the atmosphere (for example in thunderstorms). This discharge is sometimes created by the nose or the wings of an airplane. The plane will light up blue! It then looks like the plane is flying through the lighting of a thunderstorm, which must feel like a moment of glory to the pilot, an absolute discharge of the ultimate success! Take your seats and let's head up to St. Elmo's Fire!
