Lead Edge Capital Managing Partners Nimay Mehta and Brian Neider have been recognized on GrowthCap’s annual list of the Top Software Investors of 2025.

“At Lead Edge, we believe great investors go beyond providing just capital - it’s about unlocking growth through people, ideas, and networks. Over the last decade, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside some of the most ambitious leadership teams in software, drawing on the insights of our 700+ investors to help those companies scale faster and smarter. Leading our value creation work, I’ve seen firsthand how the right connection or piece of advice at the right time can change a company’s trajectory. This recognition is really a reflection of those founders, executives, and peers who work together to make our ecosystem so powerful.” – Nimay Mehta

“As software investors, our edge comes from finding capital-efficient founders and management teams and pairing them with the tools and experience they need to grow effectively. I’ve been fortunate to partner with leaders who know how to do more with less and who draw on our LP network of 700+ operators and executives to help them scale smarter and faster. That combination of disciplined investing and network support is what turns great companies into enduring ones, and I look forward to continuing to do that over the next decade.” – Brian Neider
