What is Check Size?
The amount one investor puts into one company in a round. It shapes how many companies an investor can back, and founders ask about it to see who fits their round.
$10K per company · $200K backs 20

In the illustration
The amount levers are set to $10K and the press arm comes down once: one check, into one company's tray. The budget counter falls from $200K to $190K, enough for 19 more checks of that size.
