Feenix Venture Partners

Feenix Venture Partners is a New York City-based alternative investment firm founded in 2017 that provides growth capital through strategic debt and hybrid equity investments to business-to-consumer companies. The firm targets experienced operators with strong consumer-facing brands that have meaningful expansion potential across both brick-and-mortar and online channels. Core sectors include food and beverage, hospitality, direct-to-consumer e-commerce, SaaS, specialty retail, education, health and wellness, and lifestyle brands. The firm closed its third fund, FVP Opportunity Fund III, raising approximately $58 million in investment capital. Since 2022, the team has deployed approximately $575 million into transactions valued at over $1.5 billion, and has invested in more than 42 companies. Feenix leads its transactions and writes checks averaging around $5 million, with deal sizes reaching significantly higher. Portfolio companies include SI Tickets, which raised a $50 million debt round; Carver Road Hospitality, which received a $9 million credit facility; Bagels & Co.; Andie; Black Box Stocks; and American Housing. The team of 11 people with 7 partners is led by CEO and co-founder Mr. Lee, formerly Senior Partner and Managing Director at H/2 Capital Partners, a $13 billion alternative investment manager. Feenix differentiates through its non-dilutive debt financing model, which offers competitive terms including no prepayment penalties, no equity dilution, longer repayment horizons, lower interest rates, and fewer covenants than traditional lenders. This approach makes Feenix particularly attractive to consumer brand founders who want growth capital without surrendering ownership. The firm is SEC-registered as an investment adviser under CRD number 304152.
