OVNI Capital

Venture Capital should help solve the world’s most pressing problems. Here are our 6 commandments for selecting and supporting world-changing companies: ⁠Backing Tomorrow’s Giants: We specialize in early-stage investments, focusing on pre-seed and seed rounds with investments of up to $2 million. Our approach is concentrated and high conviction. We invest in a few select companies each year, with the belief that only a few stories will truly change industries. When they do, we go all in and double down because we know that extraordinary outcomes comes from deep focus. ⁠Build Something You’re Not Qualified to: We back the outliers, the ones who aren’t "qualified" to build what they’re building but do it anyway, and do it better than anyone else. These are the founders who move at an insane speed, learning faster than anyone thought possible. They don't just think outside the box: they burn the box down and reinvent what’s possible. Build in Europe, Scale in the US: The US is where technological risks and unproven models can be funded with the conviction they deserve. Europe has a strong edge in engineering talents and building deep-tech companies at a fraction of the capital required elsewhere. We help founders bridge both worlds. We Created a Media-led VC to Help you Scale: We are a media-driven, community-first venture firm, with over 1 million listeners across our platforms every month. We've also made the bold bet of assembling a group of over 200 Limited Partners who bring diverse expertise: from deep-tech entrepreneurs who have scaled billion-dollar factories, to CEOs of global corporations. This network is a resource that opens doors, makes introductions, and accelerates momentum. ⁠We Embrace the Chaos: We know what it takes to build something from the ground up. Our team is made up of former athletes, DJs, and entrepreneurs who’ve been through the highs and lows, and we bring that experience to every founder we back. We’ve lived through the hustle, the failure, and the comebacks. We Think Insanely Big, Just Like You: We don’t just want our founders to succeed, we want them to go all the way. We target companies that have the potential to be worth billions, and we push our founders to be just as bullish on their outcomes as we are. We dream big, and we want them to dream even bigger.

Frontier Ventures

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.
