About the Webinar

How does data actually decide who gets more capital? Join us on October 7th for a candid conversation with Oli Hammond, Partner at Fuel Ventures, on how his team turns portfolio data into real follow-on decisions across a portfolio of 200+ companies.

We'll go deep on how Fuel collects, verifies, and reports on portfolio performance, and what it actually looks like to make a high-stakes follow-on call when the answer isn't an obvious yes or no.

In this session, we'll cover:

  • How Fuel decides which companies get follow-on capital out of a 200+ company portfolio, and what separates a clear yes from a harder call
  • Why Fuel moved off spreadsheets and disconnected tools, and what breaks first as a portfolio scales
  • How verifying founder-reported data changes the confidence behind a bigger check
  • Oli's take on build vs. buy in the AI era, and why he's not convinced software is dead
