A Unique Combination
The Frontier Advantage is derived from combining our business services focus with a relationship based investment approach and proven value creation process. This industry expertise makes us a stronger partner with more valuable insight and resources.
In addition, Frontier believes in a relationship based approach to investing that emphasizes strong partnerships with management, transparency, alignment and open communication as keys to success. This focus and approach enables a value creation process which has been proven to help high growth business services companies reach their full potential. We have built an excellent track record of results with this approach which is reflected in both our current and past portfolio investments. -
A True Partnership
An important component of our success is a relationship based approach to investing. Frontier believes investments must be predicated on a strong relationship and aligned thinking of shareholders and management. This alignment includes a shared vision, culture and approach to building value post-investment.
Our investment professionals know how to achieve being a helpful value added investor while not being overbearing and controlling. This approach has served us well and can be validated by our track record with both current and former portfolio companies.
We take a team-based approach to investing which provides our portfolio companies with access to the resources of the entire firm and not just one investment professional. These resources include a group of former CEO’s and Senior Executives who serve as our Operating Partners. These Operating Partners have an excellent track record of providing valuable advice and insight to our portfolio. -
Roadmap for Growth
Our focus on business services makes Frontier a strong partner. By specializing, we have developed a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing high growth business services companies. Our specialization also puts Frontier in a better position to share best practices and experiences with founders and management across our portfolio. We have a proven ability to help execute on key initiatives for value creation such as developing focused strategic plans, attracting additional management talent, further institutionalizing or investing in sales and marketing, enhancing existing service offerings or considering new markets or acquisition opportunities. -

They clearly made it a point to genuinely understand our long-term objectives, financial as well as softer ones. Then we work together to accomplish them.The entire team at Frontier continuously looks out for ideas, partnerships and acquisition targets, and because they are actively out in the market, they come across opportunities we wouldn't otherwise see. Furthermore, we are able to engage in open, candid discussion and debate with the intent of moving our business forward.
