Investment Criteria

 

Behind every great business is the story of an entrepreneur who crafted a vision to change the world, and against all odds assembled the resources necessary to execute that vision. Bessemer's mission is to find those entrepreneurs with the vision, passion, and experience to dominate growing markets using innovative technology, and to provide them the financial infrastructure on which to build their businesses. As equity partners, we succeed or fail together with the entrepreneurs whom we back.

 

BVP enjoys a unique evergreen structure that stems from our longstanding relationship with our limited partner, described in the BVP History section. We are not restricted by the sector parameters or timing of any specific fund, and so our investment charter is unusually flexible in terms of industry and stage of investment. More importantly, our unique history and structure afford the partnership a long-term investment horizon, and so we regularly assess investment opportunities based on their ten-year potential.

 

Our investment strategy stems from opportunities that spring from the most profound changes in our economy, particularly those where technology can even the playing field for new entrants. At any given time, we focus on a handful of the largest opportunities, so that BVP partners can build an expertise around those markets. We do occasionally stray from our target markets for new, extraordinary opportunities.

 

Historically we have made everything from seed stage investments (e.g. VeriSign, Sahara (acquired by Lucent), and Pirus (acquired by Sun)) through institutional venture rounds (e.g. Ciena, The Sports Authority, and Skype (acquired by eBay)), to growth capital infusions for companies with significant revenue traction (e.g. System Management Arts (acquired by EMC), ART Advanced Recognition Technologies (acquired by Scansoft, now Nuance), and Gerson-Lehrman Group).

 


History

 

Bessemer Venture Partners is a private venture capital firm that carries on one of the longest-standing venture capital activities in the country. In 1911, Henry Phipps established what was to become Bessemer Securities Corporation (BVP's principal limited partner) as an investment firm for the benefit of his descendants, starting with his share of the proceeds from the sale of Carnegie Steel. Since its inception, a central component of Bessemer Securities' charter has been to invest in and help build innovative, high-growth companies. Some of the companies that Bessemer helped establish or build in the early days include W. R. Grace, International Paper, and Ingersoll-Rand.

 

Bessemer Venture Partners continues this tradition, managing over a billion dollars of venture capital, in addition to the $2 billion of investments outside venture capital that other Bessemer entities manage.

 

Team

 

We don't just invest-we help entrepreneurs build great enduring companies. BVP has done this for nearly a century and with 200 years of collective investment and operating experience, our professionals know what it takes. Supported by the operations team, we roll up our sleeves and apply our experience and network to make your venture successful.
