WE INVEST IN STUDENT FOUNDERS LAUNCHING DARING VENTURES THAT CHANGE THE WORLD
Our Mission
Front Row Ventures is Canada's first student-run venture capital firm, dedicated to identifying and supporting the most ambitious student founders across the country. We believe that the next generation of world-changing ideas will come from university campuses, and we're here to provide the capital, mentorship, and network to turn those ideas into reality.
We don't just write checks—we build ecosystems. Through our network of 24+ university campuses, we create communities where student founders can connect, collaborate, and thrive. Our student investors gain hands-on venture capital experience while our portfolio companies receive the strategic guidance and support they need to succeed.
We Gather
We build communities across 24+ Canadian university campuses, bringing together the most ambitious student founders and investors. Our network spans coast to coast, creating a unified ecosystem where innovation thrives and collaboration flourishes.
We Amplify
We provide more than just capital. Our founders gain access to mentorship from industry experts, connections to our extensive network of investors and partners, and resources that accelerate their growth. We amplify their vision with strategic support and hands-on guidance.
We Back
We make early-stage investments in student founders with daring visions. From pre-seed to seed rounds, we provide the capital and confidence needed to turn bold ideas into viable businesses. We back the teams that others might overlook but who have the potential to redefine industries.
Our Vision
"We choose the visionaries, the hustlers, the overachievers, creative spirits and independent thinkers."
We believe that the most transformative companies will be built by those who dare to think differently. Student founders bring fresh perspectives, unbounded creativity, and the courage to challenge conventional wisdom. Our vision is a future where every student with a bold idea has the support, resources, and community to bring it to life.
