Front Raises Its Series D in a Brutal Market
“Not the easiest environment to raise in, but great outcome.”
What this teaches
Collin announces Front's $65M Series D (Salesforce Ventures, Battery) at the bottom of the 2022 downturn, linking her written reflections. She is the rare founder who has published her actual Series A, B, and C decks publicly, with commentary; her Series B was famously 11 investor pitches over five days yielding 10 offers.
Why it matters
Gateway post to the most complete public archive of one company's real fundraising decks across four rounds, which is close to unique.
Key lessons
- Transparency about decks and process compounds founder reputation
- A tight, pre-scheduled pitch week creates competing offers
- Raising in a down market is possible with disciplined metrics
