I'm Felix Römer — the founder behind Shorely. With over a decade spent building and backing digital ventures, I’ve watched ideas drift, collide, and break through. I’ve learned that what matters most is execution — and the right support at the right time.
My journey began in the online video game marketplace, starting with RuneScape, where I built tools and tracked real-time item prices to optimize trades. What began as trading virtual assets evolved into a deep sense for strategy — and marked the start of my investing path.
Over the years, I also spent a significant amount of time pioneering products in the iGaming space — building platforms, scaling teams, and navigating a fast-paced, highly regulated environment. That experience sharpened my ability to move quickly and execute under pressure, and it laid the groundwork for expanding into other industries.
Since then, I’ve backed multiple companies, always staying close to the action and stepping in when it matters most. I believe the best ideas grow when you’re close enough to get your hands dirty.
