Midas Talk: Aydin Senkut (Felicis Ventures)
Ever wondered how one of Google’s first employees went on to become one of Silicon Valley’s most respected venture capitalists?
Join us for a fireside chat with Aydin Senkut, Founder and Managing Partner of Felicis Ventures, in what promises to be one of the most compelling conversations of the year.
Aydin started his journey as Google’s first product manager, helped launch its first 10 international markets, and then took the leap into venture capital, long before it was trendy. Today, he’s a 12-time Forbes Midas Lister, has backed over 50+ unicorns including Shopify, Canva, Adyen, and Notion, and built Felicis into a $2B+ firm known for its radically founder-first approach.
This session will go beyond surface-level insights and dive into:
Aydin’s career arc—from Google to building one of the most iconic VC firms of the last two decades
What really differentiates great founders and iconic companies
How Felicis wins the most competitive deals by building deep trust
What Aydin looks for in the next generation of VCs and operators
Whether you’re curious about VC, considering starting something of your own, or just want to hear from a world-class operator turned investor, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
