We move fast, commit early and stand with founders | At Felicis, we back founders with the courage to build before success is obvious. Felicis means “fortunate” and while there’s a tremendous amount of luck involved in building a market-defining company, we believe luck is something you engineer through courage, imagination, and decisive action. In the early days, founders need a trusted partner who shares their conviction (ahead of traction or validation) and can give them exactly what they need to accelerate their growth curve.
