Lead Investor
Définition
The lead investor sets a round’s terms, writes the largest check, runs diligence, and typically takes the board seat; other investors follow on the lead’s terms.
Comment cela se présente dans le financement
Finding the lead is the real work of a priced round: followers commit quickly once a credible lead is in.
Questions fréquemment posées
Do all rounds need a lead?
Pre-seed rounds often close leadless on SAFEs; seed usually has one; Series A effectively requires one, since the lead’s diligence and pricing are the round.
How do I identify funds that actually lead?
Check their portfolio announcements: funds that led rounds say so, and databases tag lead behavior alongside stage and sector.
