Maggie Vo

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER AND MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER, FUEL VENTURE CAPITAL Maggie Vo, CFA®, is a finance expert with more than a decade’s experience in the public markets, analyzing and managing investments across a wide spectrum of asset classes, both traditional and alternative.

Born in Vietnam, Maggie began her career in finance at Prudential Vietnam Fund Management and, later, Prudential Property Investment Managers in Singapore, gradually cultivating a rich network across Asia. She focused specifically on private equity real estate, in addition to driving efforts around fundraising, deal prospecting, valuation, and due diligence for the fund.

Before joining Fuel, Maggie worked as a Portfolio Manager at Blue Shores Capital, where she managed the boutique hedge fund’s flagship Global Long Short Equity strategy. She was responsible for the development of proprietary models and oversight of the fund’s risk-management process, a duty that has fundamentally informed Fuel Venture Capital’s proprietary downside risk-mitigation investment theory.

Maggie’s transition from the public markets to the world of venture capital was spurred by the realization that value is continually shifting to actors in early-stage private-market deals. As General Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Fuel Venture Capital, Maggie spearheads due diligence processes that determine prospective investments and capital deployment and steers valuation analyses of existing portfolio companies. Perhaps most importantly, Maggie acts as an instrumental source of guidance for the executives of Fuel Venture Capital portfolio companies as they troubleshoot through the challenges of entrepreneurship in the fast-paced, high-stakes technology sector – from recruiting and sales strategies, to company culture building and corporate governance measures. Today, Fuel is a VC firm with $500+ million assets under management and has a portfolio of 33 companies, including Soundtrack Your Brand, Curve and Taxfyle.
