We back the founders who’ll rewrite the next decade.
Fuel Venture Capital was founded in 2017 by Jeff Ransdell, formerly one of six leaders running Merrill Lynch’s wealth division. The thesis: bring institutional-grade access to the innovation economy - to investors who’d traditionally been locked out.
Eight years later, that thesis has compounded into ~$550M+ across 5 funds and a co-investment vehicle, with 45 active portfolio companies spanning fintech, AI, healthcare, and consumer tech.
Cap-U Fuel Innovation 100 is the natural next step - an institutional private-markets platform that finally opens that access to accredited investors at structurally better entry pricing.
