What is a Lead Investor?

A Lead Investor takes on a particular role in a financing round or offering. Typically, the Lead Investor invests a larger amount at the beginning of the offering, thereby providing a visible signal to other potential investors.

The Lead Investor's participation may be transparently presented in the offering documents and on the campaign page.

What role does the Lead Investor play in communication?

A Lead Investor may – if agreed accordingly – also be involved in communications relating to the offering. Possible formats include:
  1. a quote or statement about the investment decision
  2. an interview
  3. video content for the campaign
  4. other communication activities relating to the offering
