I launched Felix Capital in 2015, a new London-based VC firm operating at the intersection of technology and creativity. We managed over $600m across several early-stage and growth funds. Our focus is on digital lifestyle opportunities, backing new digital brands, platforms, as well as related enabling technologies, in Europe and in the US. The investment strategy is in line with investments made previously including Farfetch (an online global fashion marketplace where I was the first investor, leading the Series A in 2010), Zong (mobile payments, sold to eBay for $240m), Vitrue (SaaS for marketers, acquired by Oracle for $310m), Dailymotion (online video, now part of Vivendi), or Olapic (SaaS, sold to Monotype). Notable investments with Felix include Farfetch, Peloton, Deliveroo, Mirakl, goop, Yoobic, Juni, VanMoof, Mejuri, HungryPanda, Moonbug, Travelperk, Oatly, etc.I have worked in the technology industry for over 20 years, in France, the UK, Italy and the US. I have been a VC since 2001, first with Advent Venture Partners as General Partner in London. In 2012 and again in 2019, I was honored to be named "Investor of the Year" in Europe by my peers at the "Investor All Stars" event.Previously I was an entrepreneur in France, building a VC-backed online marketplace for the textile industry, and before that a technology investment banker with Lazard, in London and New-York.
