Astasia Myers

General partner at Felicis

Astasia Myers is a general partner at Felicis, the Silicon Valley venture firm. Her Felicis biography says she invests at the early stage in AI, data, open source, developer tools and security, and that she has more than ten years of experience in enterprise software. The team page heading uses the label Senior Venture Partner, while the body text and her TechCrunch author profile both say general partner.^[1][2]

A third-party profile compiled from public information dates her arrival at the firm to January 2024. Felicis's own page gives no start date.^[4]

Felicis describes the way she works as acting like an extension of a founder's team, offering guidance and hands-on execution. Her page says she has helped close high-profile founders as angel investors, made buyer introductions while a company was still in discovery, and helped one company hire its first AI engineer.^[1]

Portfolio

The investments Felicis names for her are LaunchDarkly, Solo.io, Hex, Semgrep, Airbyte and Supabase. Several of those date from her earlier years at Redpoint, so the list should be read as her cumulative investing record rather than only her Felicis deals.^[1][4]

The companies featured on her Felicis page are Archil, Arena, Assort Health, Browser Use, Datology, Eventual Computing, Letta, Wordware and Yutori. Together they span evaluation of AI models, healthcare automation, data tooling, agents that operate on the web, training data and the infrastructure underneath.^[1]

Career path

Before venture capital she worked in product and customer-engagement roles at early-stage enterprise software companies, then moved to Baird, where she was part of the IT systems equity research group covering networking and security companies. She next worked in corporate development at Cisco.^[1][4]

She joined Redpoint Ventures as an investor on its early-stage enterprise team. The third-party profile dates her Redpoint years to 2017 through 2021 and lists LaunchDarkly, Dremio, Solo.io, Semgrep, Hex, Airbyte and Supabase as her Redpoint-era investments.^[4]

She then became an enterprise partner at Quiet Capital. By May 2023 a Software Engineering Daily podcast described her as a partner on Quiet's enterprise team, and the third-party profile lists Modal, Chroma and LangChain among the companies she backed there and dates the stint to 2021 through 2024.^[2][3][4]

Education and background

Myers earned dual bachelor's degrees from Stanford University with honors and Phi Beta Kappa distinction, and a master's degree from the University of Cambridge.^[1][2]

Her Felicis page adds personal detail: she grew up in a family that flipped houses and moved eight times before she started at Stanford. She also says she gardens in her spare time.^[1]

Writing and public voice

Myers writes about the infrastructure layer of AI. Her Felicis page lists investment essays including Benchmarking and Advancing the Progress of All AI Models, on Arena; Transforming the Patient Experience with Agentic AI, on Assort Health; Data Infrastructure for the Multimodal Era, on Eventual; Unlocking the Web for AI Agents, on Browser Use; and a piece with Letta's founders and Databricks' Ion Stoica titled Academia to Agentic AI.^[1]

Other titles cover reinforcement learning (Rocket Fuel for AI), model routing (Routing the Future), voice AI (Voice AI in a Box), the unstructured data stack, and 2024's biggest open-source projects from startups.^[1]

In May 2023 she appeared on the Software Engineering Daily podcast, hosted by Sean Falconer, to talk about early-stage venture capital. She has also advised founders to study the data on lost deals as a way to find product-market fit.^[1][3]

Why she matters

Myers came to venture capital through equity research and corporate development at a networking company rather than through founding one, and her investing has followed the infrastructure layer of software. Her named portfolio runs from feature-flag software and open-source data tooling to agent infrastructure, which makes it a useful record of where developer demand has moved.^[1][3][4]

What can be confirmed from Felicis, TechCrunch and the podcast record is a decade of enterprise-software focus and a steady written output that explains her investment theses in public.^[1][2][3]
