Summer Analyst 2027

Bessemer Venture Partners - Analyst Program • New York, NY

22d • Onsite

About The Position

At Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), we believe venture capital thrives in an apprenticeship model. For almost twenty years, we’ve been fortunate enough to bring on 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, identifying emerging startups, and refining roadmaps for the future, are best learned on the job by engaging with entrepreneurs and experienced investors. Analysts typically join our selective, two-year program directly from or shortly after completing their undergraduate studies. The program is based in our New York office, but analysts collaborate on projects with other Bessemer investment professionals across the globe and work with world-class company founders and executives. The BVP partners and broader investing team provide hands-on training to provide the foundational skills for your investing career, mentorship on the art of the industry, and invaluable experience. Our analysts are critical, valuable members of our team; they participate in our weekly partnership meetings and make a tremendous impact on the firm. 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. When you join Bessemer’s Analyst Program you become part of a close-knit community of investors, experts, and operators who are on the cutting edge of technology and are shaping category-defining companies. Former analysts have gone on to take senior roles at Bessemer, join later-stage firms in venture and private equity, start their own funds, and join or found startups.
