Lead Edge just raised a new fund ($1b) and now manages around $3b. I have a buddy that works there and I know comp is around 175k-200k all in out of undergrad (100k base, 75% bonus, phantom equity) with the ability to make more depending on sourcing new deals. They're pretty insane given how lean they are and Mitchell Green is quite well connected. Work experience seems great as you get to do both sourcing and due diligence with the opportunity of getting a board seat if the firm invests in the company. Definitely a top growth equity shop and I think they recruit out of undergrad as well as post banking.

 

They have a unique sourcing platform that is kept very quiet
