UK Startups and InnovationBackground
[Fuel Ventures](https://www.british-business-bank.co.uk/news-and-events/news/british-business-bank-backs-fuel-ventures-multi-fund-vc-built-entrepreneurs) is a UK venture capital firm investing in early-stage technology businesses. Mark Pearson founded it after selling his own business, [MyVoucherCodes](https://www.fuel.ventures/). The Firm operates several funds designed to support companies from pre-seed through Series A, combining investment in new businesses with further funding for its existing portfolio.
That structure addresses a recurring problem for young companies: obtaining another round of capital after their first investment. Fuel's approach allows it to continue supporting founders as their businesses expand. Alongside funding, it provides business-development, marketing and brand-building expertise drawn from its team's experience of starting, growing and selling technology companies.
