Dine Frontline Ventures: Investing in seed-stage B2B ventures
Enjoy dinner drinks and a chance to meet:
William McQuillan, Founding Partner at Frontline Ventures, a multi-strategy venture capital fund with ~€500m in assets under management and over 120 investments across Europe and the US. Frontline's core focus is all about helping their companies expand across both sides of the Atlantic. William helped launch Frontline in 2012 with a vision shaped by his own journey as a founder. Today, he leads the fund’s B2B early-stage investing across Europe, with a particular interest in health-tech.
What they invest in:
Frontline runs two strategies:
• Frontline Seed, backing European B2B software companies at the earliest stages and helping them expand into the US.
• Frontline Growth, supporting US B2B software companies at Series B-D stage and supporting their expansion into Europe.
At the Seed stage, Frontline typically invests from €500k to €3m, aiming to be a founder’s most impactful early partner.
Their investment portfolio includes:
Notable Frontline investments include:
Signal AI, Pointy (acquired by Google), MosaicML (acquired by Databricks), Insify, Navan, Vanta, Finbourne, and Brightflag.
Their portfolio spans sectors such as AI, fintech, health-tech, enterprise SaaS and many other areas.
This dinner is perfect for:
• Startup founders and CEOs building B2B tech companies
• Senior operators or early hires at fast-growing SaaS startups
• Younger VCs or emerging managers thinking about launching their own firm
• Anyone thinking about fundraising, scaling in Europe, or expanding to the US
