Aurelia Ventures

Aurelia Ventures is an ultra-early-stage operator VC and accelerator hybrid, founded by Managing Partner Felix Kues alongside Chiara Alliata and Marcus Welford. It backs B2B SaaS founders earlier than most investors, often at the idea or stealth stage, through its Scale Program. The Scale Program is an intensive 8-week to 2-month sprint accepting just 5 startups per cohort, offering 1:1 coaching with a Managing Partner on fundraising and go-to-market strategy, plus warm introductions to a network of 250+ pre-seed and seed VCs. Portfolio companies also access $1.25M–$1.75M in perks and cloud credits. The firm invests directly once founders are ready to raise their first institutional round. Its 160+ portfolio companies include mobile.dev, Devron AI, and Meet, have collectively raised over $250M from investors like Tiger Global, Insight Partners, Floodgate, and Cowboy Ventures, with a focus on B2B software, AI, and deep tech.
