Felicis Ventures

Felicis Ventures is a boutique venture fund focusing on the areas of mobile, e-commerce, consumer enterprise, education and health. It was founded late 2005 by Aydin Senkut, who was Google’s first Product Manager and later ran Strategic Partner Development for Google in Asia. The partners have a passion for product, thinking out of the box to solve hard problems and dominate critical markets. Our goal is to back the iconic technology companies of today and tomorrow. To do so, Felicis looks to partner with the best companies and founders in our key focus areas, irrespective of stage, location, and in most cases valuation.

Since 2006 Felicis Ventures has invested in over 100 companies, 45 of which have been acquired by industry leaders such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Disney, eBay, Twitter, Cisco, Groupon and Intuit.
