Fuel Ventures

Fuel Ventures is a London-based pre-seed and seed venture capital firm founded by Mark Pearson, the serial entrepreneur who founded and sold myVoucherCodes, a UK consumer savings and voucher platform, applying his experience as a founder and digital entrepreneur to identifying and backing the next generation of UK technology startups. The firm invests with initial checks from £250,000 to £750,000 at pre-seed and seed stages in UK technology companies across enterprise software, consumer internet, and fintech, backing founders at the earliest and most vulnerable stages of company formation when they have limited options for institutional capital. Fuel Ventures operates with a founder-first ethos, emphasizing rapid decision-making and operational support from partners who have direct experience building and scaling consumer and enterprise technology businesses. The firm focuses specifically on the UK startup ecosystem and backs founders across sectors where digital technology is replacing traditional business models. The original directory notes the portfolio as various UK early-stage startups without specific company names publicly disclosed. Fuel Ventures is one of a growing number of UK pre-seed specialists providing the critical first institutional capital to founders before they access larger seed and Series A rounds.
