VC10X - What Is A Continuum Fund? - Michelle Urben, Managing & General Partner, Synergos Fund

In this episode, Michelle Urben explains Synergos Fund’s "continuum fund" model, which provides patient, evergreen capital to companies from seed through commercialization, rejecting the traditional exit‑focused VC mindset. She highlights how the fund aligns with conscious capitalism, offering flexible, transparent stakes while tackling large‑scale challenges like global energy demand and spent nuclear fuel recycling. The conversation also covers the benefits of a Washington, D.C. base, investor expectations for long‑term returns, and the fund’s approach to active investing and community building.
