Bessemer Venture Partners

At Bessemer Venture Partners, authenticity is the root of empowerment. We acknowledge our privileges, prejudices, and paths. These factors influence culture and decision-making and must be acknowledged and evaluated critically. With this approach, we aim to foster a workplace of authenticity, diversity, and equality. We make informed choices when we are inclusive. We include all races and backgrounds in decision-making. We support equity by encouraging equal opportunities. Our community should have policies and procedures that mitigate gaps between groups. Inclusion is the future of our decision-making. Our community includes individuals of all backgrounds, who must feel safe, heard, and supported. These differences make us stronger. Such learning and results require effort and time. We are also prepared for the hard and lengthy nature of this work. This work requires a growth mentality. We are ready to admit our faults and take steps to address them.
