Investment thesis

Frontline backs globally ambitious B2B software companies on both sides of the Atlantic — Frontline Seed invests at pre-seed and seed stage in Europe, while Frontline Growth supports US-based B2B companies at Series B–D entering Europe. The firm positions itself as a two-way transatlantic bridge, with typical early-stage cheques of €1.5M–€3M and a proprietary 'US Playbook' to accelerate cross-border expansion.
