Per their LinkedIn pages, the two founders of Frontier Strategic Capital which includes Frontier Strategic Resources (private equity fund) are Dorian Barak and J. David Whittingham, both associates of Erik Prince https://twitter.com/WendySiegelman/status/1294669539091853313?s=20
If appears that Dorian Barak is still closely involved with Erik Prince since Barak is managing a new fund created in Dec 2019, that is co-owned by Prince-founded Frontier Services Group and CITIC https://twitter.com/WendySiegelman/status/1294704767923617792?s=20

I had included KuangChi Science on this (now outdated) chart of new Cambridge Analytica company Emerdata, because it had two directors - Dorian Barak and Johnson Chun Shun Ko - who are both closely linked to Erik Prince https://medium.com/@wsiegelman/chart-emerdata-limited-the-new-cambridge-analytica-scl-group-63283f47670d

Prince associate Dorian Barak creating the Gulf-Israel Business Council is interesting - when I heard about the Israel-UAE agreement, the first question I had was - which companies will benefit from investment discussions as part of the deal https://twitter.com/WendySiegelman/status/1294711988791246849?s=20
