Brad Silverberg co-founded Fuel Capital in 2013 as a seed-stage venture firm, though he is now semi-retired and not actively investing. Fuel Capital’s investment thesis targets early-stage companies in consumer, marketplace, business software, and infrastructure sectors, primarily within the United States. The firm typically leads seed rounds, with Silverberg serving as an Advisor from 2013 to 2020 before transitioning to a Director role. Notable portfolio companies include TaskRabbit (founded by Leah Busque, who joined Fuel as General Partner in 2017), Hipmunk, Skytap, and Avvo, where Silverberg currently serves as a Director. Silverberg’s distinctive background includes leading Microsoft’s Windows and Internet efforts as Senior VP from 1990–1999, where he helped establish Windows 95 as the company’s core product. While he has no widely cited public writing on investing, his career reflects a technologist-first perspective, having been awarded *PC Magazine’s* Person of the Year in 1995 for Windows 95 leadership.
