General Partner (GP)
정의
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.
투자유치 시 활용 방법
When founders “pitch a VC,” the decision-makers are the GPs; associates and principals filter deal flow toward them.
자주 묻는 질문
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.
