Founder & Principal

Tomasz Felpel

Tomasz founded Felpel Ventures with a clear conviction: that patient, disciplined capital allocation, guided by deep research and a long-term perspective, creates outcomes that compound across generations.

His investment focus spans technology, healthcare, and real assets, with a preference for businesses that solve enduring problems. Beyond portfolio construction, Tomasz leads the family's advisory practice, working directly with founders and families navigating pivotal decisions.

A strong believer that leadership begins at home, Tomasz is equally committed to the family's philanthropic mission, ensuring that Felpel Ventures creates value not just for stakeholders, but for the world around it.

"Capital without purpose is just numbers. We invest because we believe in the people and ideas we back."

Philanthropy & Community

Emma Felpel

Emma Felpel grew up near Brownsville, Texas, a small border town on the Gulf of Mexico, and the experience of growing up in a place where opportunity was hard to come by never left her. It became the quiet foundation for everything she does today.

She leads the philanthropic work at Felpel Ventures with a belief that true generosity goes well beyond financial giving. It lives in shared resources, open networks, mentorship, and the kind of community involvement that actually changes the texture of daily life for the people around you. Emma brings her personal network and her genuine care for others to every partnership and initiative she is part of.

In New York, she is actively involved with the New York City Ballet, the Barclays Women's Initiative Network, and the Central Park Conservancy. Felpel Ventures' work with cultural, youth, and educational groups across the city continues to grow, guided by Emma's belief that every neighborhood deserves the same quality of investment and attention.

Her core conviction is financial literacy as liberation. Emma works at the intersection of education and economic access, partnering with organizations that teach individuals, particularly young people and underserved families, how to understand, manage, and grow wealth. Communities equipped with financial knowledge don't just survive hardship; they build generational resilience.

As a lifelong learner, her vision is to help new generations of leaders and wealth builders find their footing, across every sector and walk of life.

"The most powerful thing we can offer a community isn't a donation. It's a seat at the table and the tools to use it."
