Investment thesis

Felicis positions itself as a founder-first venture firm that invests early, before a company's success is obvious, with 94% of its investments at Seed or Series A. The firm leads or co-leads the majority of the time and emphasizes fast decision-making, deep sector expertise (notably AI), and long-term partnership. It backs founders building generational, category-defining companies, dedicating 1% of each first check to founder support and pledging to vote with founders. Much of its dealflow comes through founder referrals, and it highlights a strong track record of unicorns and successful exits across a global portfolio.
