General Partner (GP)

Définition

A general partner is a manager of a venture fund: GPs raise the fund from limited partners, choose investments, sit on boards, and earn management fees plus carried interest.

Comment cela se présente dans le financement

When founders “pitch a VC,” the decision-makers are the GPs; associates and principals filter deal flow toward them.

Questions fréquemment posées

What is the difference between a GP and an LP?

GPs manage the fund and make investment decisions; LPs supply the capital and remain passive.

Should I pitch partners or associates?

Aim for the partner who covers your sector; associates can champion deals but cannot say yes alone.
