William McQuillan

After leaving university, William was one of the founding employees of Ondra Partners, a startup investment-banking boutique. Within 18 months, Ondra grew from a four-person team to 70+ employees across London, New York, and Paris and was named the top investment banking boutique globally by Euromoney.

William’s work at Ondra led him to discover his passion for rethinking an industry, and he shortly thereafter co-founded Osmoda, a b2b e-commerce company creating a new way for young and up-and-coming designers to sell online. During the same time, William became a Global Ambassador and joined the Board of the Sandbox Network, a community of over 1,500 innovators under 30 all around the world.

William experienced firsthand the difficulty that European founders have when fundraising and afterward. This inspired him to join Will and Shay to set up Frontline, and try to make VC better for entrepreneurs. Since then he has led investments in over 20 b2b technology companies across Europe.
