The Analyst Program

At Bessemer Venture Partners (Bessemer), 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 City office, but analysts collaborate on projects with other Bessemer investment professionals across the globe and work with world-class company founders and executives.

The Bessemer partners and broader investing team equip analysts with hands-on training to provide the foundational skills for their 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.
