Furthermore, the firm announced a number of new hires: principal, Sasha Astafyeva; operating partner, Jon Kamaluddin; partner, Antoine Nussenbaum; and Grita Loebsack, a former senior executive at L’Oréal, Unilever and Kering, joins the advisory board.
“We founded Felix with a vision to be the partner of choice for great founders working at the intersection of technology and creativity. It’s still early in this journey, and we are grateful for the support of both our existing and new investors for this new fund. Since launch, the best part has been the feedback from founders, who embraced our thesis and saw in Felix the right partner to help them fulfil their vision,” sai Frederic Court, founder of Felix Capital.
“With this new fund in place, we can focus on building a highly differentiated investment platform with a thematic strategy, in line with our vision and mission.”
