Front Row Ventures is a pre-seed, sector-agnostic VC firm that invests solely in tech-focused companies with at least one co-founder currently enrolled in a Canadian university (or has graduated in the last 6 months). We invest early, often writing the first institutional cheque, and support founders as they build from campus into the broader market.
