We back founders building iconic companies that transcend boundaries and invest directly in their growth to make them unbreakable.
Here’s to the founders. We see what you see. We just raised $900M - our largest fund yet - to back those who are brave and daring enough to imagine the radically new.
Government agencies can only pick from ~400 approved SaaS apps. @KnoxCloud will increase this exponentially. They’re helping companies get FedRamp certified 10X faster with 90% cost reduction. @vivfaga & @NancyZWang share why we led their seed: felicis.com/insight/knox

The middle AI layer is up for grabs. Model routing may be the new control point. It sits between models and apps, helping devs optimize for price, performance, + flexibility. It could be AI’s app store entry point. @AstasiaMyers & @DanBartus share more:…

Autonomous agents are redefining our infra primitives. Felicis Partner @tecoker shares how the developer stack is changing thanks to context engineering. 👉 felicis.com/insight/contex…

Reflecting on a productive @icmlconf in Vancouver – a huge week for @felicis! We ran two standout events: Night 1: Happy Hour with @ElevateHQ_: The happy hour took off. Over 300 RSVPs and 120+ people came through over the course of the night across PhD programs, startups, and…
AI purpose built for Therapy - proud to be a part of this meaningful mission led by @danielreidcahn, @neilparikh and team. @AshAITherapy is available 24/7 by text or voice. It’s trained on diverse behavioral data and fine tuned by clinicians, give it a try!
I’m excited to announce Ash by Slingshot AI, the first AI designed for therapy backed by $93M in funding from the world’s top mission-driven investors.
Congrats to the @SlingshotAI_Inc team on launching @AshAITherapy! Ash is the first AI trained specifically for mental health. Give Ash a try today: talktoash.com/vip?token=Ptu_…
They said it couldn't be done. They said it *shouldn't* be done. We tried anyways. Today we're launching Ash, the first AI designed for therapy, and announcing $93M in funding from @radicalventures @ForerunnerVC @a16z @felicis @trailmixvc @joinsequel and many more. We've had…
Read @iamVictorDey's excellent profile of @Letta_AI's latest groundbreaking AI research in @FastCompany:

Admin still eats $1 T+ of U.S. healthcare spend per year. Answering calls, filling the chart, and clearing claims are perfect work for LLMs. If you’re building AI solutions for health comms, scribe, auth, or claims, hit me up.
AI is expanding tech from software budgets to labor budgets, and creating enormously valuable companies. Felicis Founder & Managing Partner @asenkut talked to @KristenScholer at @NYSE about our latest fund and why it's an exciting time to be an AI-native company.
Introducing Act-Two, our next-generation motion capture model with major improvements in generation quality and support for head, face, body and hand tracking. Act-Two only requires a driving performance video and reference character. Available now to all our Enterprise…
Last night we hosted an AI-focused BBQ with a curated group of researchers, founders, and technical operators from @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, @Letta_AI, @yutori_ai, @Stanford, @MIT, @mercor_ai, @ETH_en, among others. Interested in joining the next one? Message me
In AI, the middle is wide open. Model routing could be the control plane. One API, every model. Optimize, observe, match, adapt. This is a $10B+ opportunity, and it’s still day one. felicis.com/insight/model-…
ICYMI, we recently shared our first-ever Call for Startups. Areas we're excited about range from agents and proactive security services to the systems that will power the robot revolution. Read the full post to see the kinds of ideas we want to back: felicis.com/insight/call-f…
Startups don’t fail because they can’t build a great product. They fail because no one knows they exist! Had a fun time with @Alex, @mattturck, and @dawallach on @twistartups talking AI and more.
Congrats to the team at @RadiantNuclear, whose Kaleidos reactor will be the first new reactor design tested at the Idaho National Laboratory in 50 years! We're excited to see how this contributes to greater energy resilience!
Want to see pure joy? Watch the moment @DougBernauer and Tori Shivanandan tell the team that @ENERGY selected Radiant to be the first new nuclear reactor to test next year at INL!
