Front Row Ventures

We bring together the most talented, innovative, and passionate students from every background and university campus in Canada Currently active on 20+ campuses across Quebec and Ontario, we believe that students are in a unique position to challenge the status quo We invest in startups in which at least one person on the founding team is a student (undergraduate or graduate)

Our investment team is run by student leaders, entrepreneurs, researchers and innovators from across Canada We amplify student founders’ potential and ideas through world-class mentors, a portfolio of resources, and a robust training process

We believe a lack of funding is stifling university innovation We’re closing that gap by backing student founders with an early game-changing investment of $25,000, through a SAFE with extremely founder-friendly terms Many of our founders have a minimum viable product, but we also invest in brilliant ideas that need our help to become a reality

WE CHOOSE THE VISIONARIES, THE HUSTLERS, THE OVERACHIEVERS, CREATIVE SPIRITS AND INDEPENDENT THINKERS
