Description

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.
