buy-in
Support through investment
Buy-in is commitment or agreement from people whose support you need.
Getting buy-in means securing acceptance before moving forward: We need buy-in from the team before changing the process.
In poker and other gambling, a buy-in is the amount required to enter a game.
In finance, a buy-in occurs when a broker purchases securities to cover a failed delivery.
