Bessemer Venture Partners
At Bessemer, we believe venture capital thrives in an apprenticeship model. For almost twenty years, we’ve been fortunate enough to bring on three to four bright, ambitious, and aspiring investors each year to join the program as a foray into their careers.
While there are skills and lessons you can learn in school, many elements of venture capital, such as developing investment judgment, sourcing emerging new startups, and refining roadmaps for the future, are uniquely learned on the job by engaging with entrepreneurs and experienced investors.
Analysts typically join our selective, two-year program directly from their undergraduate studies or soon after. The program is based in our New York office, but analysts will collaborate on projects with Bessemer partners across the globe and work with emerging founders and exceptional operators.
Our partners and the broader investing team provide hands-on training to gain the foundational skills for your investing career, mentorship on the art of the industry, and invaluable experience. Our analysts are critical, valuable members of the team; they participate in our weekly partnership meetings and make a tremendous impact on the firm.
About the program
Analysts are oftentimes the first touchpoint startup founders have with Bessemer. They play a role that requires an enterprising spirit, empathy, and a deep understanding of what makes a business work under the hood.
A day in the life of an analyst
Your daily schedule and responsibilities include sourcing new investment opportunities, deep research in the diligence, roadmap, and deal-making processes, and working alongside Bessemer team members to help our portfolio companies flourish. The skills and experience you gain in this program are foundational to your career. Whether you pursue additional opportunities at Bessemer or elsewhere, your Bessemer analyst experience will be formative and open endless possibilities.
- Interact with 100+ CEOs to identify seed-stage to Series C startups disrupting a wide range of industries: vertical software, AI infrastructure, supply chain, healthcare, climate, and consumer internet.
- Work closely with the firm’s partners to conduct due diligence on the investment opportunities you discover and help develop new investment roadmaps.
- Develop an eye for identifying the most exciting sectors and business opportunities in the innovation economy, build a deep understanding of business models, and grow an extensive network of entrepreneurs and VC colleagues.
