Why we invest deal by deal

The SPV model, and what it means for founders and LPs.

Most venture funds raise a blind pool first and find the companies second. We do it the other way round.

Continuum invests through a dedicated special purpose vehicle for each company. We source the opportunity, do the diligence, write the memo, and only then invite investors to subscribe into a vehicle built for that one deal.

What it means for founders

You get a single line on the cap table, a partner who has already done the work, and investors who chose you specifically rather than inheriting you from a fund allocation.

What it means for investors

You see every deal with full context and decide each one on its merits. No capital calls for companies you never chose. No blind pool.
