Excited to share that @Frontlinevc has raised $200M across two new funds to continue supporting founders with global ambition. Thank you to @abracarioca at @TechCrunch for capturing our story. (1/6) https://t.co/L5OAysNkMB

The sum will be split roughly evenly between two funds, Frontline Growth and Frontline Seed. The seed fund will favor European ventures, while the growth fund is focused on American ones.

One of the core areas we focus on in Frontline is supporting our founders to raise their next round of funding. Nice when the data shows it’s making a difference! Credit to all the founders who do all the actual hard work 🙏
Frontline is delighted to be recognised as one of the top Seed investors in Europe! 🌱 Over 50% of the Frontline portfolio companies that raised a Seed round in 2016-18 went on to raise a Series A – more than 2x the average graduation rate 👇 https://t.co/AfAxgtnLG9
