75 billion across two new funds to accelerate its investment across all parts of the AI stack. 75 billion for seed and early-stage investing and the remaining $4 billion for growth startups. Bessemer has been well-known as a leading VC in the SaaS era , with a particular knack for picking enterprise winners, like Box, DocuSign, and Gainsight. Since 2022, it has invested in more than 260 AI-native companies. So far, the firm has invested $3 billion into AI-related startups, it says, including those focused on compute, infrastructure, foundation models, dev tools, app-layer startups, and agentic tech.
Now, Bessemer positions all things AI as the opportunity of a lifetime — a common sentiment, until the next big trendy tech revolution comes around, of course.
