Why it matters
Bessemer is assigning nearly 70 percent of its new capital to growth deals, even as it says roughly 70 percent of its investments are early-stage. Those percentages measure different things: dollars versus deal count.
Talia Goldberg (@TaliaGold) marked Bessemer Venture Partners' $5.75 billion fund close on September 23rd, as the firm set aside $4 billion for growth investments and $1.75 billion for seed and early-stage deals. The split gives Bessemer a larger pool for backing companies later in their private lives, even as it says early investing remains central to its strategy. Bessemer's announcement says the capital was raised in a single close.
