Chris Howard

Founder and Partner, Fuel Capital

About

Chris Howard broke into venture capital through an unusually intense three-year commute from Seattle to San Francisco, sleeping on a friend's couch four nights a week to build his founder network from scratch, and has since been recognized on Forbes' Midas Seed List for early bets like Figma, Flexport, and Convoy. He co-created Fuel's ReFUEL wellness programs—multi-day immersive experiences for founders at places like Skywalker Ranch focused on movement, meditation, and mental conditioning—reflecting a systematic commitment to founder wellness that's uncommon in venture capital.
