Investment Objective

Fuel Ventures is a leading early-stage technology investor, investing in fast growth UK and European businesses that have the potential to return between 10x and 100x. Fuel Ventures has 35+ portfolio companies and after only 4 years our first fund has a 7.4X valuation uplift, validated by third-party follow-on investors. The fund focuses on investing in scalable technology companies with exceptional founding teams and high gross margins.

We are an active and hands-on investor that adds value through our team and network of sector experts. The fund is driven by successful entrepreneurs with a combined £200m+ in exits. We invest in every fund ourselves with a 10% personal investment alongside our investors.

Exit Strategy

Fuel Ventures aims to hold positions for a minimum of 3 years and target exits between 5-7 years. The proceeds from exits are returned immediately to investors on a deal-by-deal basis. Potential exit routes are secondary transactions (selling to later stage investors), acquisitions, initial public offerings and private equity.

The Fuel Ventures Scale Up Fund gives investors the option to sell their stake in the fund to other investors. This allows investors to potentially exit before the targeted 5-7 years. Please note this cannot be guaranteed as a willing buyer must be found.
