Fulcrum Bioenergy: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Fulcrum is a leader in the production of cheap, low-carbon transportation fuels from one of our country's most plentiful resources: domestic waste. As a business, we are dedicated to enhancing the standard of living in our neighbourhoods, and the first step in doing so is to address one of America's most pressing issues: far too much trash When compared to conventional petroleum fuel, Fulcrum's use of trash as a feedstock reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 100% while diverting significant amounts of waste from local landfills. Today, Fulcrum is making a difference, and we are paving the way for an American future that is sustainable and clean.

About FundedIQ's Fulcrum Bioenergy Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Fulcrum Bioenergy is left off this page rather than filled in.
