Talking point: Front Row has a presence on over 20 campuses, where student-led teams identify startups to support and invest in. The fund will invest in about 50 companies in Quebec, Ontario and B.C., with initial cheque sizes of $50,000 per company. Despite the challenging VC market, the fund was oversubscribed. Along with direct investments, the initiative aims to train more than 250 students to become VCs over the next four years.
