We are pleased to announce that Partner Scott Hoch has been named in the fifth annual Top 40 Under 40 Growth Investors by GrowthCap Partners.

According to GrowthCap Partners, the 2018 nomination process resulted in a record number of submissions. All of the nominees were evaluated based on their investment activity, post-investment contributions to portfolio companies, and firm development work, including fundraising, thought leadership, and employee mentorship.

Scott, who started at Frontier in 2007, focuses on growth equity investments in B2B software and tech-enabled services businesses. He currently leads the investments in and sits on the board of PriceSpider, MediaPRO, and Aviacode.  His past investment experience includes Zephyr (acquired by SmartBear Software), Simpli.fi (acquired by GTCR), and WilsonHCG (acquired by CIP Capital).  

He began his career as a member of the Investment Banking Team at Edgeview Partners and Bank of America in Charlotte, NC. Outside of the office, Scott is actively involved with Habitat for Humanity.

“It is a true privilege to be a part of the investment team at Frontier Capital. Our operating philosophy focuses on continuous improvement, and every day we challenge ourselves to do better (and have fun) as a team. We are constantly questioning how to more effectively source opportunities, offer more value to our portfolio companies, better collaborate with our management teams, and invest more in our community through the Frontier Foundation. I believe it is with this intense, firm-wide operating philosophy, combined with our sector expertise in B2B SaaS and tech-enabled services, that often favors us to be the partner of choice for like-minded founders and management teams. It’s always an honor to work alongside our highly committed and passionate management teams to help their companies realize their strategic potential.” – Scott Hoch
