Frontier is focused on providing growth equity investments of $5 to $15
million. Our capital is used to accelerate growth via investments in
sales and marketing, technology, geographic expansion, or acquisition.
Many of our investments also provide liquidity to allow early
shareholders or founders to diversify their financial holdings. We are
comfortable with non-control minority ownership positions.
