The investment will fund continued expansion of DashFuel’s platform and AI capabilities and go-to-market reach, enabling the company to serve a growing customer base while keeping best-in-class customer experience as a core piece of strategy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DashFuel, a platform for petroleum wholesalers, carriers, and retailers, announced a growth investment from Five Elms Capital. The partnership will accelerate DashFuel’s product roadmap and go-to-market efforts, while growing the team to better serve a rapidly expanding customer base.
Petroleum distribution is one of the most operationally demanding industries in the economy, requiring operators to manage pricing volatility, multi-step logistics coordination, and complex regulatory compliance, often across disconnected systems and manual workflows. DashFuel, founded in 2022, is purpose-built for the operational complexity of petroleum distribution.
The platform unifies quoting, tank monitoring, dispatch, delivery, billing reconciliation, and back-office integration into a single cloud-native system, giving petroleum operators the visibility, automation, and control to run more efficiently and profitably. That depth earns DashFuel a mission-critical role in daily operations and translates into measurable outcomes for customers. Paired with a relentless focus on customer support, it has allowed DashFuel to build deep trust with a rapidly growing customer base and sustain exceptional retention.
“Petroleum distribution runs on thin margins and moves fast, prices shift multiple times a day, and a single operational miss can cost thousands of dollars and a customer relationship,” said Miles Moen, Founder & CEO of DashFuel. “We built DashFuel to give operators the infrastructure to compete: real-time visibility, intelligent automation, and end-to-end workflow control that the industry has long needed. This investment lets us build faster and reach more of the market that needs it.”
With Five Elms’ backing, DashFuel will deepen and expand its core platform capabilities, including continued investment in AI-powered automation and workflow intelligence. The company will build out its go-to-market function while continuing to invest in customer success to ensure they maintain the same level of high-quality support as they scale.
Thomas Kershisnik, Partner at Five Elms Capital, commented on the investment: “DashFuel has built something genuinely rare: a modern, end-to-end platform with a team that has earned deep customer trust by delivering real, measurable results. The petroleum distribution market is large, underserved by legacy technology, and ready for a purpose-built solution like DashFuel. We’re excited to partner with Miles and the team as they scale.”
