The rise of continuation funds in Venture Capital

​Continuation funds, long used in private equity, are gaining traction in venture capital as a way to extend the lifecycle of a GP's most promising assets. These funds allow investors to double down on high-performing portfolio companies while offering liquidity to existing LPs.

​Continuation funds provide a strategic tool for navigating shifting market conditions and maximising value creation, but given their nascency, how can we assess when and how to deploy them?

​Join us as we explore how continuation funds are being adapted for the VC ecosystem, the challenges and opportunities they present, and their role in aligning incentives across stakeholders. 💼
