Frontier IP

Frontier IP Group plc is a publicly listed investment firm based in the United Kingdom that commercializes intellectual property by advising and investing in deep tech university spinouts. Founded in 2007 by chief executive officer Neil Crabb, the organization supports notable portfolio companies like artificial intelligence drug discovery platform Exscientia and water testing business Molendotech. The firm operates with fewer than 25 employees and is currently guided by an eight-member board of directors featuring prominent figures such as Professor Dame Julia King and David Holbrook. Generating returns through portfolio exits and advisory services, the company maintains a net worth of £29 million alongside £2,600,000 in cash reserves. In March 2024, the group returned to profitability by posting a £1,400,000 half-year profit, which was directly driven by a highly successful £14 million exit from its CNT investment.
