Front Row Ventures

We invest in student founders launching daring ventures that change the world. We bring together the most talented, innovative, and passionate students from every background and university campus in Canada. Currently active on 24+ campuses across Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta, 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 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 $50,000 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.
