Overview

Syren Capital Advisors represents the M7 Family of Funds which brings accredited and qualified investors access to seed through mezzanine funding stages of Venture Capital inventory. This asset class is no longer just for the large institutions nor is it available to the average retail investor. The funds we advise are by design small and nimble. This allows the fund manager to pursue only the most attractive opportunities, isolated based on proprietary metrics, which we believe will result in the highest returns either in the public market or via acquisition. Risk is mitigated by allocating heavily in early late stage and later stage rounds. Our model allocates capital to early stage funding rounds as liquidity events of our later stage holdings occur, further increasing the portfolio return on investment. ​ Because of the deal flow presented to us through our relationships with scouts and incubators, we are able to command the most competitive valuations for our investors, resulting in deep discounts to the current funding valuations. ​ ​Our firm belief is the jockey will always be more important than the horse. We do not seek to interfere with management and the decisions they have to make. We are passive investors in companies with talented management, attractive revenue growth, pivotal technologies and backing by the most experienced/"prescient" Venture Capitalists. ​​ ​You’ve heard it before; portfolios should be well diversified. But what we’re sure you may not have heard before - you must have the right type of diversified asset classes. ​ During cycles of high volatility, stocks and bonds typically move increasingly in tandem. So your 60/40 split is moving 100% in the wrong direction. Consider shifting a portion of your portfolio into Alternative Investments. Venture capital investments help to control risk in two major ways: ​ Non-Correlating assets tend to move separately from stocks and bonds during high volatility, while valuations steadily increase based on conservative multiples of annual revenue. ​ During declining volatility cycles volume of shares publicly traded dramatically increase, persuading the number of mature companies to enter the public market via the IPO process, allowing them to raise capital at much higher valuations. For Shareholders: ​​ We provide funding for an array of private companies and provide liquidity to employees of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Clean Technology and other pivotal technology producing companies. Through our relationships, developed over the last decade, we have access to pools of capital ready to be deployed strategically. Send us your proposal and we can review the terms for you to see if we have synergy.

    Participated · Series A · Apr 2023

    Cowboy Clean Fuels, founded in 2020 and led by CEO Ryan Waddington, develops carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) using depleted Coal Bed Methane wells and existing infrastructure. The company converts agricultural byproducts into CO2 and renewable methane via a biogenic process in deep geologic coal formations in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. Its commercialization approach is branded as "Biomass with Carbon Removal and Storage, plus Renewable Natural Gas (BiCRS+RNG)." CCF positions this technology as a scalable, capital-efficient solution in the renewable energy sector. The company is advancing its first commercial project, the Triangle Unit Renewable Energy and Carbon Capture and Storage (TRECCS) Project in Wyoming. Recent financing will be used to support development and commercialization of that project. Cowboy Clean Fuels develops a patented process that permanently sequesters atmospheric CO2 and produces carbon‑negative renewable natural gas from agricultural byproducts using non‑producing coal bed methane (CBM) wells and existing infrastructure. The company’s technology was developed by its CTO, Dr. Michael Urynowicz, and is exclusively licensed from the University of Wyoming’s Center for Biogenic Natural Gas Research. Its first commercial project, the Triangle Unit Renewable Energy and Carbon Capture and Storage (TRECCS) project in Wyoming, received a Class V Underground Injection Control permit in late 2023 and is permitted to sequester CO2 and produce RNG at commercial volumes. When fully operational the TRECCS project is expected to generate roughly 185,000 metric tons of verifiable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits per year and produce about 0.7 billion cubic feet of RNG annually. CCF was formed in 2020 and maintains offices in Denver, Colorado and Gillette, Wyoming; its leadership team collectively has over 100 years of experience in relevant energy sectors. The company is positioning to commercialize and scale the TRECCS technology across the Powder River Basin to restore value to existing CBM infrastructure and expand RNG and CO2 sequestration capacity. Cowboy Clean Fuels develops patented technology to produce carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) from waste agricultural byproducts by stimulating a naturally occurring biogenic process in deep geologic formations. The company repurposes non-producing coal bed methane (CBM) wells and existing infrastructure to generate renewable methane through a process similar to anaerobic digestion. Its proprietary technology was developed and exclusively licensed from the University of Wyoming’s Center for Biogenic Natural Gas Research by co‑founder and CTO Dr. Michael Urynowicz. Cowboy Clean Fuels says the process not only produces RNG but also removes and permanently sequesters atmospheric CO2. Leadership brings more than 100 years of combined experience in clean energy commercialization, upstream gas operations, and large-scale project development. The company is preparing for an initial commercial-scale project launch in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and is pursuing regulatory and engineering milestones ahead of scale-up.
