5 partners are named across this firm’s filings, 3 of them on a fund it is deploying now.

Activity is filed board seats in the last 24 months: 4+ Active, 2–3 Selective, 1 Slowing, none Quiet. A firm's tier totals its partners, so an active firm may be four partners with one seat each. It undercounts partners who invest without taking a board seat, and filings lag a closing by weeks, so Quiet means the paperwork is quiet, not the person.
Not a filing value: this is Lev’s own classification of each company, one company one vote regardless of how many of Lerer Hippeau’s partners are named on its board, shown only when we found a specific, checkable source. Companies with no source read as unclassified and are left out of the shares above.
| Opentrons Labworks |
| NEA | 1 | Casper Sleep |
A shared board seat: a company where filings name a Lerer Hippeau partner and a partner at the other firm, both with a clean identity match. Not a claim either firm led or co-led the round, only that both are named on the same board.
