Felix Capital Raises $600 Million to Grow Web3 Exposure – Web3, a new field that combines the internet and crypto, is drawing the attention of venture capital firms from all around the world.
Felix Capital, a London-based venture capital firm, is one such organization that has broadened its business plan to include Web3 as one of its current interests. The company raised $600 million in its most recent fundraising round, exceeding its $500 million goal.
This is the firm’s fourth and largest fundraise to date, raising $1.2 billion in total assets under management. In a blog post, the company stated that the cash will be used to back another 20 to 25 companies across Europe and North America in the coming years.

Web3 elements will be included in the company’s upcoming investments, according to the company:
“We’re broadening our range of possibilities, with plans to expand our knowledge of Web3, a new platform for creativity, community, and, of course, entrepreneurship. In keeping with our goal to partner with founders who want to have a positive effect on the world, the urgency to live a more sustainable lifestyle will become an increasingly central theme.”
The present market downturn, according to Frederick Court, has no impact on Felix Capital’s operations because the company’s investments are “fundamentally a long-term business, and it takes a long time to build a strong company.”
Web3 is becoming a recurring theme for venture capitalists looking to broaden their investment options. Felix Capital is one of the firms that has stated its aim to invest in Web3 companies, and a number of other firms have also shifted a portion of their investments to this new sector.
