Securing Growth Capital to Bridge Rounds and Drive Global Expansion

Company Overview

i6 Group is a global leader in cloud-based fuel management optimisation for the aviation industry, offering end-to-end solutions for airlines, airports, and fuel suppliers. Its platform drives efficiency, reduces costs, and lowers environmental impact. Backed by sector-focused investors including Shell Ventures, JetBlue Ventures, IAG, and World Kinect, i6 Group serves a blue-chip client base of over 80 customers worldwide.

Challenge

To maintain momentum between funding rounds, i6 Group needed a growth bridge to deliver on contracts and manage overhead—without diluting equity. The management team sought a fast, expert-led process that would let them stay focused on business execution.

Results

Fuse Capital arranged a non-dilutive funding solution, securing the right lender and favourable terms in record time. The facility enabled i6 Group to continue scaling globally, meet delivery milestones, and stay on track with minimal disruption.
