FENOX Venture Capital
Fenox Venture Capital was a private venture capital firm founded in 2009 by Vitaliy Arbuzov and Anis Uzzaman, based in San Jose, California. It helped technology startups around the world enter American, Asian, European and Middle Eastern markets. Notable investments include Jibo ($16 million, December 2015) to help it go global, Edyn (February 2016), and Affectiva ($14 million, May 2016). Other portfolio companies included Tech in Asia, BlockCypher, MindMeld, and Sensely. In February 2016, Fenox was ordered by the US Department of Labor to repay more than $330,000 in back wages to 56 unpaid interns. In 2017, Uzzaman and Fenox sued an anonymous blogger for sexual harassment allegations; the case was dismissed, and a later multimillion-dollar settlement was reached after investigators linked the blogger’s IP address to Brandon Katayama Hill, founder of Btrax. Fenox went defunct in 2019; its fate after that is unknown, and its website fenoxvc.com is no longer active.
