With his evergreen Fund, Aenu is breaking free of the ten-year VC traditional fund model to build lasting relationships with the founders it invests in by following startups through to post-IPO.Fabian’s background as an entrepreneur began early on when he first partnered with his brother to start a food truck business. He has since then started five companies including one that was sold to Google, and used the proceeds to enter the investing space. But it was only later that he and his brother began to think about impact and pivot toward the climate space and together they started AENU, which is now a 100M Evergreen fund.
