# 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.

## In real work

With $200,000 set aside for angel investing, Farah chose a check size of $10,000 so she could back 20 companies over four years.
