Hear from our executives on their experience working with Lead Edge

Ben Allen

CEO, BinSentry

"We chose Lead Edge because they were tenacious. They really took the time to learn our business, to spend time with the executive team, and started to help us before they even finalized the deal. That kind of partnership and that kind of expertise is rare."

Andy Lubash

Founding Partner & CEO, PrestigePEO

"Lead Edge Capital is different from other investors because they’re more collaborative. They work with you to grow the business. They brought a new perspective. They brought fresh ideas. Lead Edge Capital has been a true partner."

Adam Segal

Co-Founder & CEO, Cove

"Lead Edge has been just the right mix of support that we were looking for. There's been a great unlock not just on the investment side, but also the value creation side where they’re in the trenches and working alongside us."

Tyler Davey

CEO, ClearGov (Formerly Referred to as Gravity)

"Every single partner I've spoken with, the managing directors, the operating partners, we've all grown up with software backgrounds. They just understand it. Lead Edge’s approach with their perating partners is very different. They brought in their operating partners specifically to help us over the last 12 months, professionalize our sales and marketing organization, dive into our revenue operations area, focus in on how we can build out a rock-solid HR organization. And that is a huge benefit, to shortening the cycles it would take to process the information we need to make the right decisions."

Trina Spear

Co-Founder & CEO, FIGS

"We wanted to become LPs in the fund because of how many people they had introduced us to – this amazing, phenomenal group of people. Some of those people, whom I am communicating with on a weekly basis, are really instrumental in helping us become a more successful company."

Roger Pine

CEO & Co-Founder, Holistiplan

"What really has been helpful for me is just the culture fit with my business. Lead Edge respected what I bring to the table as a founder, what my team brings, but they're also able to challenge me in ways that I needed to be challenged."

Bill Andrews

CEO, ExaGrid

"Lead Edge is the only firm I've seen in all the years, and I've been around VC investing for a long time, that has the reach of the 700 limited partners who are the who's who of business. I don't know of another firm that can help a portfolio company like us get introductions to as many people as they do."

Tripp Higgins

CEO & Co-Founder, PaceMate

"Lead Edge adds value in a number of ways. Their unique skill is not just identifying gaps and opportunities. Lead Edge saw a ceiling that we didn't see. It was higher than we expected, and they brought out the best of us immediately. And I think that was the skillset that we were searching for and that’s what we got."

Ryan Porter

CEO & Co-Founder, Liveview Technologies

"This idea of their LP's that invest in their fund, the networks that they have, it's real. What's really surprising, the quality of the LPs. You would look at their network and say, they're too busy, they're involved in so many things. They're not going to take any time with us. And it's the opposite. They're passionate, they want to help, they want to make connections, they want to network, and they're able to get you into top tier connections at any company you really want to get into. It’s been extremely valuable for us."

Lisa Barnett

Former CEO, GrowthZone

"Really, from the very beginning, Lead Edge has approached everything with a spirit of collaboration. They do their homework. They understand our space, they understand our opportunities, and they're all about what can they do to accelerate our growth – they’re always asking what can they do to help?"

Raj Dutt

CEO & Co-Founder, Grafana Labs

"Lead Edge has a higher degree of hustle and intensity than most companies and most investors. The power of their LP network is unique – their LPs are mobilized in a way that I haven't seen before. It feels like the Lead Edge team is always willing to roll their sleeves up themselves rather than sort of pontificate on a theory or an idea."

Steve Dusablon

Co-Founder & Chief Innovation Officer, SafeSend

"Lead Edge has really shined for us. They’ve surpassed every expectation that we’ve ever had, surrounded us with some of the smartest people I have ever met. They are some of the hardest working individuals I have ever met."

Chris Comparato

Former CEO, Toast

"They have been one of our most engaged investors and are often one of the first phone calls I make to say “Hey, I want to connect with someone who’s done X,” and that’s been tremendous. They’ve opened up doors within the restaurant ecosystem, whether customer intros or partners to collaborate with."

Sajith Wickramasekara

Co-Founder & CEO, Benchling

"Lead Edge’s LP network was highly differentiated from any of our other investors. It’s panned out for us in a number of different ways from executive recruiting to customer introductions for enterprise sales. The Lead Edge team is top 1% in responsiveness."

Spenser Skates

Co-Founder & CEO, Amplitude

"Basically, there is no one in the Fortune 500 that Lead Edge cannot reach. That’s a very special and unique circumstance. Lead Edge has built this curated network that is leaps and bounds beyond anyone else."

Guillaume de Zwirek

Founder & CEO, Artera (Formerly Known as Well Health)

"The best way to think about Lead Edge’s value is that they have such a vast expert limited partner base that any business challenge are dealing with, they probably have someone in their network that you can speak to that can help you navigate that situation."
