Lerer Hippeau additions

[edit]

Hi editors, I'm Robin, here on behalf of Lerer Hippeau as part of my work with Beutler Ink.

My request is to add a subsection about Lerer Hippeau in the article that looks something like what is in the collapse box below. I think the company has had some decent coverage but likely not enough to qualify for its own article, so it seems like this article would be a good place to include that coverage in the interim. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, BINK Robin (talk) 17:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC) [reply]

Lerer Hippeau is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in New York City as Lerer Ventures by Kenneth Lerer and Ben Lerer in 2010.[1][2][3] Eric Hippeau joined the firm as a managing partner in 2011; it was renamed Lerer Hippeau in 2014.[4][5]

In 2017, the company launched a select fund for later-stage investing, which raised US$28 million.[6] It launched two more funds in 2019, totaling US$215 million. In 2022, it launched two additional funds, one for seed investment and one for Series A rounds and other venture rounds, totaling US$230 million.[2] As of 2023, it is investing from its eighth seed fund.[7]

 Not done: it's appropriate to include his work at Lerer Hippeau, but this is just a profile of the company grafted onto a biographical article of one of several related people. If you have further content on Hippeau's work at the company, I'd be happy to add it, but just because it doesn't have its own article doesn't mean it belongs here.

Understood, I didn't see much about his involvement other than what's already in the article. Thanks for reviewing! BINK Robin (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
