Note from Ventioneers
From Builders to Capital Partners
Ventioneers is a play on words: “venture” and “pioneers,” founded by Mohamed Soliman and Felicia Parker, with their shared passion for innovation, entrepreneurship, and a drive to grow impactful businesses.
With Mohamed’s expertise in engineering, technology developing 50+ Patents, and Felicia’s leadership in business strategy and operations, they united their diverse experiences to establish Ventioneers. What began as a syndicate in 2023, rapidly scaled into a thriving community of 2,400+ LP’s, deploying $40+ million in capital, and a monthly newsletter with 2000 subscribers.
We have gained valuable insights from our personal angel investments (US / Canadian funds, syndicates, and direct), as well as from the Ventioneers Syndicate with our early to pre-IPO investments, into the strategies required to build a $1B+ company.
We know as entrepreneurs, what it's like to manage a startup, and what it takes to go from launch to scale, and the strategies needed for that growth. We love seeing ideas come to life, and being a part of that journey.
Our Investment Lens
Our approach is shaped by nearly a decade of personal angel and private market investing across U.S. and Canadian funds, syndicates, and direct deals. Through this experience, we’ve developed a repeatable framework for identifying companies with the potential to become category defining, $1B+ outcomes. We source early stage to selective later stage opportunities, balancing high upside early investments with companies that demonstrate stronger validation.
We diligence:
- Founder-market fit and teams with exceptional execution capability
- Large, growing markets
- Traction
- Defensibility through technology, data, network effects, or scale advantages
- Strong validation via top accelerators or institutional lead investors
As former operators, we understand what it takes to move from zero to scale, and we invest accordingly.
We source our deal flow through our vibrant network of LPs, scouts, founders, Family Offices, VCs, YCombinator, a16z, SOSV, Techstars, Nvidia Alliance, 500 Startups, and more.
We have personally invested in 500+ startups. We have been personally investing in private equity since 2016. Ventioneers portfolio across the syndicate and fund includes: SpaceX, ByteDance (TikTok), Neuralink, xAI, Groq, Anthropic, Stripe, Rippling, Epic Games, Plaid, Brex, CoreWeave, Replit, StarCloud, Psyonic, Neurable and many more.
Risk Adjusted Return Criteria
Asymmetric Upside: We prioritize opportunities where successful outcomes can drive meaningful portfolio level returns relative to the capital invested.
Plausible Path to Scale: We underwrite founder-market fit, early traction, and technical feasibility to ensure there is a credible path from entry to scale.
Valuation Discipline: Entry pricing must allow for execution risk, future dilution, and market cycles, regardless of brand or momentum.
Downside Awareness: We favor capital efficient businesses with clear validation milestones and optionality before significant capital is required.
Portfolio Fit: Each investment is evaluated in the context of overall diversification, concentration risk, and incremental upside contribution.

Dealflow
Ventioneers sources early stage to selective later stage opportunities, balancing high upside early investments with companies that demonstrate stronger validation, through a repeatable, relationship driven network built across founders, operators, venture firms, and institutional ecosystems.
Primary sources include:
- Founder and operator referrals, often at early or pre-consensus stages
- Venture firms, family offices, and co-investors seeking aligned partners for selective opportunities
- Top accelerators and platforms, including Y Combinator, a16z, SOSV, Techstars, NVIDIA Inception, and 500 Global
- Secondary and later stage opportunities accessed through long standing relationships in private markets
Before opportunities are shared with LPs, each deal undergoes internal diligence focused on market, execution, technical risk, and valuation. We are selective in what we present, prioritizing quality and asymmetry over volume.
Founders and partners work with Ventioneers for our operator first perspective, speed of decision making, and long term alignment, which has enabled access to competitive, oversubscribed rounds and pre-round access.
