Felix powers local commerce by connecting consumers with businesses at the moment they're ready to make a purchase. The way Felix works is deceptively simple - using advanced speech recognition technology, our advertisers only pay us when they receive a phone call from a new customer interested in doing business with them. Our next-generation product has been featured regularly in TechCrunch, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. in 2012, Felix's product was featured in Business Insider's "The Best Startup Pitches We've Ever Seen". Most importantly, every year we drive millions of measurable consumer transactions with our small businesses.

Felix is based in the heart of New York City and is committed to perfecting the way that consumers find and transact with local businesses. As a division of InterActiveCorp (IAC), our family of sister companies includes OKCupid, Vimeo, CollegeHumor, Match.com, Ask.com, About.com and dozens of other successful internet brands. Felix is profitable, growing rapidly, and focused on changing the way local businesses around the world acquire new customers.
