Ask a VC anything with William McQuillan

On this week’s episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, we take you
back to the SaaStock18 stage for a special Ask Me Anything
session with William McQuillan, Partner at Frontline. Without any
preselected questions, William answers everything on the spot at
the Traction stage.


After leaving university, William was one of the founding
employees of Ondra Partners, a startup investment-banking
boutique. William’s work at Ondra led him to discover his passion
for rethinking an industry, and he shortly thereafter co-founded
Osmoda, a fashion e-commerce company creating a new way for young
and up-and-coming designers to sell online. During the same time,
William was also the Global Ambassador for the Sandbox Network, a
community of over 1000 innovators under 30. It was through his
work at all those places that William experienced firsthand the
difficulty that European founders have when fundraising. This
inspired him to join the other two partners, Will Prendergast and
Shay Garvey to set up Frontline, a fund that would usher in a new
generation of early-stage venture capital in Europe. Frontline is
based in London and Dublin, but backs companies throughout
Europe. Their portfolio includes companies such as Boxever,
Roomex and AQMetrics among others.


In the AMA, Will answers a host of questions such as: Does he
invest in failed entrepreneurs, advice for “unsexy” companies
with a slow start, what is the first company Frontline invested
in and where are they now as a result and many others.


Having hundreds of investors around such as William is one of the
best features of SaaStock. With targeted matchmaking, a dedicated
