Seed
£61.3M

The venture firm has launched its third seed fund with backing from institutional investors and software entrepreneurs.

"When we looked at the data back in 2012 – at the very start of Frontline – it was painfully clear that European entrepreneurs lacked the infrastructure and support to build a global business out of Europe. Today, Europe rightfully finds itself on top-tier US investors’ target list, but global expansion remains an important challenge to solve. As a team, we’ve pooled all of our experience and resources into helping our founders cross the Atlantic. Seed Fund III will be an extension of our work – to help founders get off the ground – and go global."
— William McQuillan, Partner
Series A
£3.6M

The round was led by South Central Ventures to support expansion in Europe and the United States.

"AGRIVI has made an impressive progress since our initial investment back in 2016. They have positioned themselves on a global map of the leading agtech companies as one of the leading farm management platforms. I’m also thrilled that European Investment Fund identified this opportunity and participated in our first direct co-investment. I believe the funds from this financial round will enable AGRIVI to accelerate their activities on multiple business areas and consequently facilitate the global impact on the healthy food production,"
— Jure Mikuz, Managing Partner
Series A
£4.7M

The funding round was co-led by Impulse VC and VentureSouq to support product development and international expansion.

"Tech-enabled services for the property industry are a super-hot trend right now. GuestReady is poised to disrupt this market as one of the fastest growing companies in the segment of short-term rental management."
— Cornelius Boersch, Business Angel and founder
