Hedges

Hedges is a fuel price-hedging platform that lets asset-heavy businesses lock in their margins and turn volatile commodity costs into a fixed line item. Hedges was founded by JR Miller and Griffin Weinhold, both with strong prior startup experience. The company, which is starting with diesel distributors, provides a CFTC-compliant way to trade standardized fuel units. When fuel costs spike, those positions pay out cash to offset real-world fuel bills and stabilize budgets. Over time, Hedges plans to expand from fuel distributors to adjacent markets such as last-mile trucking fleets, oil and gas service providers, and mining operators.
