Felix Seeks a Partner Beyond Just Capital
Felix co-founder Neeraj Agrawal emphasized that the company was seeking more than a check—it wanted a partner with strategic muscle.
“We were looking for someone who brings not just capital, but also operational depth and the networks to scale us faster and more sustainably,” Agrawal said.
Felix is currently backed by a mix of U.K. and U.S. family offices and investors. With Advent now in the mix, industry insiders expect Felix to fast-track its R&D pipeline, expand its geographic footprint, and pursue regulatory approvals across new territories.
Advisers Behind the Deal
The transaction’s legal framework is being handled by JSA, Arthur Cox, and A&L Goodbody, while Guggenheim Securities is serving as financial adviser to Advent. On the other side, Lincoln International is advising Felix.

If executed well, the Advent to Buy Stake in Felix Pharma deal may not only reshape the competitive landscape but also signal a new era of scalable innovation in veterinary medicine.
