Frontline Growth
For U.S. Startups with Global Ambition
Frontline Growth is the only fund that exists to help ambitious B2B companies in the U.S. expand into Europe
Win In Europe
Europe is the world’s second largest B2B software market after the U.S., but most founders don’t appreciate its size.
With a population of 740M and a total GDP of $25T, Europe accounts for over 30% of the global revenues for top-performing companies at IPO.
Working hand-in-hand with CEOs, Frontline Growth multiplies your team’s capability and capacity for expansion, and is the only fund with this specific strategy.

How we operate
We’re looking for category leaders.

We don’t lead rounds, but participate alongside top U.S. investors and earn our spot on the cap table through our European expansion capabilities.
Our entire reason for existing is to be a true value-add investor.
Experienced in Expansion
When it comes to European expansion, experience matters more than innovation. Many of the problems you will encounter are previously known, and we want to help you through them. We have a track record of successfully scaling overseas.
Partners Stephen and Brennan have each successfully launched the European offices and led go-to-market operations for major tech companies, including Google, Twitter, Airtable, Yammer, and SurveyMonkey.

In addition to the deep operating experience of our partners, we’ve curated the largest community of European leaders and advisors, who provide an additional source of advice, market knowledge and talent for our portfolio companies.
This includes EMEA GMs and VPs from Stripe, Slack, Figma, Notion, Klayvio, Cloudflare, Dropbox, Meta and Databricks – to name a few.
