Investment Thesis

Frontline is a venture firm specializing in frictionless transatlantic expansion for B2B software companies. They believe that B2B tech companies must conquer both the US and European markets to become category leaders. Rather than being generalist investors, they are laser-focused on where they can add value to founders through their specific expertise in cross-border expansion, operating out of two complementary funds that collaborate to support founders on both sides of the Atlantic.

Curated network of 50+ European leaders and advisors including EMEA GMs/VPs from Stripe, Slack, Figma, Notion, Cloudflare, Dropbox, Meta, and Databricks
