January Ventures

We believe any industry can be disrupted by the right entrepreneur. We believe software will accelerate this. We believe the entrepreneur will make the difference between success and failure. We believe business will become more global. We believe we add value by asking the right questions, not by having all the answers. We believe data makes the difference. We believe in the value of enabling others through technology. We believe doing one thing right is more valuable than doing many things mediocre. We back the companies of tomorrow.

We are an active venture capital group with a current emphasis on pre-seed, seed, and series A startups. We’re flexible and on occasion, have also invested in late stage and cross over rounds. While Arc is geographically agnostic, to date most of our investments have been based in Israel, Europe and the US (outside of Silicon Valley). Many of our portfolio companies have benefitted from our assistance on strategy, tactics, business development, and even distressed situations.

One Way Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund, operating in the U.S., focused on backing exceptional immigrant founders. After 20 years of angel investing and three years as Managing Director of Techstars Boston, One Way co-founder Semyon Dukach noticed a trend: immigrant-led companies repeatedly outperformed the rest of his portfolio. While immigrants only make up 14% of the U.S. population, they start 24% of startups, and founded or co-founded more than 50% of America’s billion-dollar startups. The general partnership is joined by Eugene Malobrodsky (Anchorfree, $300M raised) and Lex Zhao (Bridgewater, Vestwell). Today, One Way Ventures has over $100M under management and has backed immigrant founders from over 30 countries.

Early-stage tech venture fund investing in immigrant founders building amazing scalable products.

FQV is an early stage VC fund focused on investing in startups from the Western Balkans. Balkan founders around the globe and any startup considering Balkans as their talent competitive advantage. We are operators and once we build conviction around a startup, we aim to be the first sizable institutional money by leading the rounds and taking a board seat to ensure we can move the needle for our portfolio companies in a significant way. Our Approach Three Investment Strategies Each Reinforcing One Another. Investing in startups based in Western Balkans: Top startups from the region with proven founders and business model, startups that currently skip local investors (outgrow them) and we help them with intros to top foreign VC. Balkan founders around the world: Startups run by Serbian and Croatian founders in diaspora who can benefit from our connections to more effectively operate parts of their business from Serbia and Croatia. Startup with presence in the Balkans: Elite US/Canadian startups who need help with product building & faster execution. Here we take an active role in team and product building (setting up teams here in the region) to secure an allocation in a round led by a Tier 1 VC from the Valley.

We invest in and support ambitious entrepreneurs to get them where they want to go, whether at early stages with sights on the US market, or at later stages looking to the potential of Europe. Frontline today is a team of 17 people with a growing portfolio of over 80 exceptional companies across Europe and North America, and an expanding, global, investor base. EXPERTS IN EXPANSION Founders see what the world misses. In fast pursuit of opportunity, you make critical decisions with little certainty. We get it, because we’ve been there. Frontline is the venture firm for globally ambitious B2B companies on both sides of the Atlantic. Frontline Seed speeds up ideas at inception across Europe. Frontline X is a growth-stage fund, for fast and frictionless US-Europe expansion. WE'VE LEARNED IT THE HARD WAY As a team of entrepreneurs, we have built many businesses, many ways. And as a venture fund, we’ve helped tens of founders and CEOs cross the pond. We’ve scaled too – with team members in Dublin, London and San Francisco. Today, our team, LPs and advisors represent senior leadership at many of the world’s most successful B2B companies (Think: Segment, Stripe, Looker, Linkedin, Airtable, Google and Workday – to name a few). Collectively, we can add value when founders need it most – at company defining moments. CAPITAL IS CHEAP Look around; the venture market is drowning in noise. Hundreds of funds and millions of blogposts – all claiming to “add value” left and right. We believe that capital is cheap, and we know that value-add is not made equal. Our focus is clear; we back challengers with global ambition, and we dedicate our time to helping them fly higher – faster. Our experience makes us knowledgeable. Our global network makes us unique. Want more detail or first-hand accounts? we are happy to introduce you to our founders. SYMBIOSIS In nature, the best things work together. We see the landscape ahead and can warn you of the risks, while you stay strong and focused on your goals. Indispensable; that’s how we see our relationship.
