The Felpel Heritage
A surname is more than a name — it is a compressed history. The Felpel coat of arms has carried the same values for centuries: bravery, agility, constancy, and trust. We don't wear them lightly.
Felpel — Origins & Meaning
The Felpel name was forged in the borderlands of Central Europe — born from the confluence of Prussian order and Polish resilience. For generations, the family was shaped by two great traditions: the discipline and precision of Prussia, and the tenacity, warmth, and deep-rooted loyalty that defines the Polish character.
Prussian discipline. Polish soul. That dual heritage — uncompromising standards paired with genuine warmth — runs through the Felpel name and into how we invest, advise, and build today.
The Coat of Arms
Every element of a coat of arms is deliberate — chosen to define character and communicate values across generations. The Felpel arms speak clearly.
The Lion Rampant
Bravery & Valor
One of the oldest and most powerful heraldic symbols. The lion rampant — standing, poised to act — represents ferocious courage, noble strength, and the willingness to defend what matters. It is not aggression for its own sake, but conviction with the strength to back it.
The Martlet
Speed & Agility
The martlet — a swift, legless bird of heraldry — symbolises speed and the agility to act quickly and decisively. It never rests on the ground; it is always in motion. In the Felpel arms, three martlets sit at the crest's crown, a constant reminder that swift, precise action is as important as deep conviction.
Sable (Black)
Constancy & Longevity
In heraldic tradition, black represents constancy — an enduring, steadfast nature that persists through time. A family that bears sable is one that does not bend to fashion or pressure; it commits fully and holds that commitment across generations. The Felpel black is a promise.
Azure (Blue)
Loyalty & Trustworthiness
Azure is the heraldic colour of loyalty and truth — the colour of a family whose word is its bond. In the Felpel shield, the deep blue field speaks to a reputation built on honesty, discretion, and genuine care for those who place their trust in us across every border and culture.
From Coat of Arms
to Core Convictions
These four pillars shape how we invest, advise, and build — and they were not invented in a boardroom. They were inherited from centuries of heraldic meaning encoded into the Felpel coat of arms. The crest is not decoration; it is a mandate.
Read the Signal
The courage to act on conviction when the crowd says otherwise.

Never still. Always ahead of the next shift in the world.
Build to Endure

Two Continents, One Family
The Felpel family has always moved across borders. Today, our operations span two continents — rooted in the United States and in Poland, at the heart of the European Union. The name's journey from Central Europe to North America is not just history; it is the blueprint for how we think and invest.
United States
New York & Nationwide
Our primary base of operations. We invest, advise, and build partnerships across the American market — one of the world's most dynamic arenas for capital deployment and entrepreneurial growth.
Poland
European Union Operations
The land of our family's roots — and one of Europe's fastest-growing economies. Our Polish and broader EU presence gives us direct access to Central European markets, talent, and the continent's evolving investment landscape.
Disclaimer: Felpel Ventures operates as an independent arm of the Polish family office, with active operations across the United States and the European Union.
The Felpel name has travelled from Central Europe to North America — and our operations reflect that journey. We are not merely a family office with a global outlook; we are a family with a global history.

The crest is our foundation. Our team, investments, and philanthropic work are how we honour it every day.
