Adam Kalish

General Partner, Lux Capital

About

Adam Kalish brings an unusual background to venture capital, having triple-majored in English, Film, and Economics with original plans to be a film producer before pivoting to finance, and he explicitly applies a movie business lens to startups by viewing them as stories that need star founders, multiple capital sources, and audiences that want the product. He joined Lux Capital before their first fund closed and lived through the firm's scrappy startup phase, while also serving as both a capital formation partner and super-connector who helps portfolio companies increase revenue and raise capital through high-value introductions.
