About Lachy Groom

Lachy Groom is the Co-Founder of the investment firm LGF and previously served as Head of Stripe Issuing after joining Stripe as employee #30 right out of high school. He operates as a solo angel investor focusing on early-stage B2B/SaaS companies, particularly in developer tools, fintech, and infrastructure, with a philosophy of backing tools that users organically love rather than software they are forced to use. His typical check size ranges from $100,000 to $500,000 for a handful of companies where he can add value, though some sources note a broader range of $1M to $25M depending on the opportunity. Groom is known for leading rounds and making heavy bets rather than writing small follow-on checks to many startups. Notable portfolio companies include Figma, Deel, Modern Health, SWORD Health, Deepnote, and Convictional. His distinctive point of view emphasizes bottom-up adoption models and solving real workflow problems, and he is currently raising approximately $100 million for his second fund, LGF II.
