Venture Capital

Felicis Ventures

Felicis Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2006 by Aydin Senkut and headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The firm backs founders "who rewrite the rules," concentrating the majority of its capital at Seed and Series A while also participating in Series B and select growth rounds, with reported assets under management of roughly $2.4B and a tenth flagship fund (FV X) of $900M closed in June 2025. Typical checks range from about $2M to $40M. Felicis is thesis-driven across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and defense, global resilience and energy, health and bio, infrastructure, and vertical SaaS, and invests globally (backing founders from 40+ countries rather than only Silicon Valley). The firm leads or co-leads a large share of its deals, sources most new investments through founder referrals, and is known for founder-friendly practices including a commitment to vote with founders on board matters and a "1% Founder Development Pledge." Its portfolio and exits include Shopify, Adyen, Canva, Notion, Credit Karma, Fitbit, Guardant Health, Docker, PagerDuty, Twitch, Supabase, and Runway.
