It's been an amazing year for me and Felicis Ventures. The portfolio now has over 30 companies. I'm proud of their incredible progress and wanted to highlight a few of their accomplishments:
- Voicestar was purchased by Marchex in August of this year
- Weebly & Yapta were named among the Time Magazine's 50 Best Websites of 2007
- Mint won TechCrunch40 Top Company Award
- Meraki Networks' Meraki Mini won Computing Grand Award of Popular Science, Best of What's New 07
- Melodis' Midomi won Computing Award of Popular Science, Best of What's New 07
- Meraki Networks was one of the 2 companies that won the World Economic Forum Award
In 2007, Felicis Ventures received hundreds of business plans from 12 countries and 15 US states. So I'm very humbled by the sheer amount and diversity of interest we continue to get.
Although I spent the last few weeks in China attending the Annual China Venture Capital Forum, meeting entrepreneurs and bloggers there, I was excited to support Stirr's Winter in Wonderland Holiday Event.
2008 promises to be an even bigger year: I'm really looking forward to attending the DLD 08 Conference in Munich in January and Dialog in April. Hope it will be just as exciting and prosperous for you ! Happy Holidays !
