Overview

Bessemer Venture Partners is an American venture capital firm whose origins lie in the family office established from Andrew Carnegie's steel fortune in 1911, making it one of the oldest venture firms in existence. It invests across enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, healthcare, consumer and financial technology from seed through growth stages, and it is known for publishing its investment theses openly, including an anti-portfolio page listing the companies it famously declined. Headquartered in San Francisco with offices across the United States, Europe, India and Israel, it manages several billion dollars and has backed Shopify, LinkedIn, Twilio and Pinterest among many others.

Products

Roadmaps and Research
Published investment theses, benchmarks and market analysis released openly. Publishing what it believes is how the firm reaches founders it has no existing relationship with, which is the real scarcity in venture.
bvp.com
BVP Forge
A fund investing in bootstrapped and capital-efficient software companies rather than venture-backed ones. These businesses were previously invisible to venture firms because they had never needed to raise money.
bvp.com
Healthcare Investment
Investment in healthcare services, digital health and life sciences companies. Healthcare returns arrive on a very different timescale from software, which is why most generalist firms run it as a separate practice.
bvp.com
Cloud and Enterprise Practice
Investment focused on business software and cloud infrastructure companies. It is the firm's deepest area, and the cloud benchmarks it publishes have become reference metrics used across the whole industry.
bvp.com
Venture Investment
Equity investment in technology companies from seed through growth stages. Investing across the whole lifecycle lets the firm follow its best companies rather than being diluted out of them by later specialists.
