Felix Capital

🌟 Big investment news from the Felix Capital team today! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce our lead investment today into the $7M Series A round for AKT London, a pioneering personal care brand born from the heart of London’s West End. The investment will fuel AKT’s growth in the UK and US markets, foster new retail partnerships, and accelerate product innovation. 🚀 At Felix, we’re on a mission to back brands that shape #culture and enrich our daily lives. AKT started with a single, much-loved product—an all-natural, high-performance deodorant balm—and has quickly grown into a #consumer favourite, loved by customers in both the UK and US. With a $10M revenue run-rate, numerous awards, and an impressive 3x year-on-year growth, AKT is capturing trends we've been monitoring closely, including the demand for #clean, #sustainable products; #fragrance-led experiences; and premium body care products. We are incredibly excited to partner with Ed Currie, Andy Coxon, Darryl Adie and the entire AKT team as they continue on this journey. Here’s to helping more people live better, smell better, and feel empowered with products “born to perform”! 🙌 💫 Read more in the The Business of Fashion here: https://lnkd.in/eaV9B5gR Read more about our investment thesis in our Medium post here: https://lnkd.in/euATMVKB Frederic Court Antoine Nussenbaum Susan Lin Alexandra Thornton Julien Codorniou Angela Chou Fabian Burnett Small Tessa Jaspers Francesco Frontani
