OUR MISSION

The development and acceleration of value in true pioneers and breakthrough ideas in selected markets, focused on the movement, analysis and securing of information.

Value Proposition

The Fund invests at three levels in its focus markets: at the accelerator/concept stage, as the first institutional seed investor and in revenue producing middle market operations poised at expansion. In this last group of investments, the Fund may periodically acquire companies perceived to be at points of inflection.  

Focused attentioN

Where judged beneficial, the Fund will work closely with, affiliate and sponsor activities at world-leading university groups, where commercial opportunities are emerging from nascent technologies. First Row domain specialists will each be actively networking and researching potential opportunities in their disciplines.  Our focus on selected verticals will elevate our visibility in those groups, enabling the earliest possible involvement where warranted. Our early involvement will build rapport with innovators, giving FirstRow the inside track in finding the best opportunities. 

 
 
 
I would never bet against John Guidon. I have seen him guide his team to remarkable success in the hardest circumstances. He does not know how to quit.
