  • i6 Group

    Participated · Series B · Nov 2025

    Founded in 2013 by Alex Mattos and Steve Uhrmacher, i6 Group offers a unified, cloud-based platform that digitizes the historically paper-based aviation fueling process. The software gives airlines, fuel suppliers, and ground handlers real-time visibility into fueling operations, improving safety, efficiency, and carbon-emission performance. Its technology is deployed at over 200 airports worldwide and counts British Airways, JetBlue, KLM, Air Canada, Virgin Atlantic, Menzies Aviation, PrimeFlight, Shell Aviation, Q8 Aviation, and World Fuel among its customers. Headquartered in Farnborough, U.K., the company generates revenue by licensing its SaaS platform to these aviation organizations. The recent Series B financing strengthens the balance sheet and enables expanded investment in technology and data infrastructure. Proceeds will also support international expansion and the hiring of additional product and customer-success talent. With a broadened investor base and fresh capital, i6 aims to accelerate adoption of its fuel-management solution across new geographies and customer segments.
