Investoren der ersten Stunde
German to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)
From a rather poor quality faxed contract from a Swiss contract:
xyz offeriert zur Finanzierung seiner Wachstumsstrategie eine Beteiligung am Unternehmen in Form von Aktien, wobei Lead Investoren, das sind jene *Investoren der ersten Stunde* bis zu einem Betrag von gesamt Sfr. abcdef, Aktien im Wert von x % je Sfr. abcde der Gründeraktien erhalten und Investoren der zweiten Runde y % je Sfr. qwertz - in Zuge einer Kapitalerhöhung erhalten.
Is there a specific translation for "Investoren der ersten Stunde" as it appears to be or is it likely to be a typo (Runde instead of Stunde?) Dietl/Lorenz drew a blank.

I don't think this is a typo:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q="investoren der erste...
but I think the translation is the same as if it had been:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q="first-round investor...
The point in either case is that the distinction is not one of ranking between 'lead' or 'principal' investors and smaller investors, but simply a chronological one between those who put their money up first and those who came later.
