Rocket Capital

Frontier Ventures is a venture fund investing in early-stage technology companies with network effects in the United States and globally. Our investment team is based in the United States. The fund was founded by serial entrepreneur Dmitry Alimov, co-founder of IVI.TV, the largest video service for Russian-speaking consumers worldwide serving over 60 million users globally. Frontier Ventures partners with talented entrepreneurs to help them build global market-leading businesses. We stand out by helping our portfolio companies scale globally in Europe and Asia where our partners have access to strong networks of technology entrepreneurs, investors, and tech company executives. We open these powerful networks to the companies we invest in, which helps them scale across borders faster. We also help our portfolio companies raise follow-on financing by giving them access to more than 1,000 US and global VC, growth funds, and family offices where we have long-term business relationships. Our founding team has more than 30 years of collective experience in venture investing, having backed over 50 early-stage companies. Frontier Ventures is backed by family offices, technology entrepreneurs, and financial investors as limited partners. Most of our limited partners are current or former technology entrepreneurs. WHY ARE WE CALLED “FRONTIER VENTURES”? In the history of the exploration of North America, the term “Frontier” was used to determine the boundary between inhabited and unknown territory, where from the 18th to the 20th centuries, settlers developed new areas. Unlimited free land in this zone was available, and thus offered the psychological sense of unlimited opportunity. This, in turn, had many consequences such as optimism, future orientation, and shedding of restraints due to land scarcity. The development of new land to the West and the North of the United States became a catalyst for the settlement of the North American continent and its subsequent rapid economic development. By analogy, the name of our fund – Frontier Ventures – is intended to symbolize the limitless possibilities that are open to entrepreneurs and investors in the development of the software and Internet. Our team and our entrepreneur partners share the spirit of optimism and belief in success, combined with a rational willingness to take risks to achieve great goals, which at one time united the North American pioneers, during their advance towards the unknown.

With offices in Paris, London, Seoul and Singapore, our mission is to broaden the horizon of European technology by providing leading start-ups with the capital for growth and access to Asian markets. Our strong ties with many leading Asian corporates, together with our network in Asian tech ecosystems offer our portfolio companies much more than just capital. Founded in 2016 by Fleur Pellerin, former French Minister for Innovation and Digital Economy, Korelya Capital (a Korelya Groupe company) is an investment platform with over EUR 500 million under management. We back the most ambitious founders in their journey to build global technology champions by sharing our passion, experience and market reach. We are thesis-driven investors supporting exceptional founders at every step of their journey We seek out exceptional and talented European founders who put global ambition at the core of their mission and then work relentlessly with them to achieve it. We focus our sourcing on well-defined investment theses and criteria and we are quick to recognise if a business is not for us. Once we partner with a founder, we are highly engaged: we know the challenges of scaling across multiple markets faced by our companies and we leverage our network and expertise to make the journey a success. Advocates of a sustainable tech ecosystem. For decades, sustainable development has steadily grown in public opinion and business and political agendas globally. Organizations large and small are increasingly accountable for their social and environmental footprint. While legal and statutory obligations today almost exclusively concern large corporations, we believe sustainability should be an integral part of corporate agendas at every stage of a company’s journey, for both ethical and economic reasons. We are convinced that companies embracing societal and environmental challenges will drive superior value creation in the long term. Europe has a clear head start and an unmissable opportunity to create the next generation of sustainable global leaders. That is why at Korelya we chose to set ourselves ambitious yet realistic sustainability goals, with an action plan designed to lead by example and promote our strong beliefs amongst our portfolio companies.

Entrepreneurs are easily misunderstood. They have a vision of the world which is in conflict with the status quo. Change is hard – and many boulders must be pushed before that vision can be realised. We’ve been there too. Our founders, Eric Chan and Calvin Ng, founded Aura in 2009 in the depths of the Global Financial Crisis. They were 26 and 27. They started Aura at a hot desk in Bondi Junction, as a corporate advisory for young startups. With hustle, determination and elbow grease, Aura Ventures now has $160M in funds under management and a long track record of strong performance. None of this would have been possible were it not for the founders that we serve. While a lot has changed since then, our mission hasn’t. We exist to be the first believers in the companies of tomorrow. We know the road is bumpy, but we're partners for life Riad Chikhani founded Gamurs when he was just 19 years old. As soon as he walked into our office, we understood his vision to disrupt the media industry, and we wanted a front row seat. There were many bumps along the way, but no path to success is linear. That’s why we believe great partnerships are defined in the hard times, when cash is tight, sales are slow and the boulder is rolling against you. We’re here to push with you. Aura Ventures is always there to support our founders and we pride ourselves on being the first port of call during both good times and bad. This is the sign of true partnership.
